Torque Of The Town!

This is real Gear Head Porn…we just reworked our Diesel engine development dynamometer. It had a limit of 4000 rpm and 3000 lbft. We just took that to 7000rpm and 3600 lb-ft. At Banks our Hot Rodding is like the plague, it infects everything in this place! And that’s exactly why we all show up every day.

I’ve got special kind of sickness, it’s a disease that started in LA 100 years ago, back in the teens…it seems that I’ll race anything with an engine. At Banks we’ve been very lucky. We build that luck in the shop. We load the drivers gun and most times, he hits the target. Here’s a small part of how it’s done.
