Could you possibly to get a serial number to one of 1800 HP Series 60? I'd like to see what's inside.

Thanks,
Ken

It's all in the cooling.  All you have to do is take the roof off your bus and install a few locomotive radiators and fans, a few hundred gallons of coolant and you too could have an 1800 hp bus.

I just wanna be able to do a burn out. Not really, I'm just curious about flow rates on the injectors, compression ratio, turbo, etc. I don't see any giant radiators on Mike's truck. But who knows what the real HP numbers are, and of course he not pulling 40 or 50,000 lbs either.

I will check for you Ken I was more interested in the 8v92 he had a 2 blower system on those 2 blowers stacked on top of each other one drive with the 2 turbos 1st time I ever saw that and they were purring at 2250,

Then I got side tracked watching the guys wipe out a ECM and starting over from 0 and doing their thing I can tell you how much the engines cost 105 thousand each wow

good luck

Doing a burn out with a 12V-71TT in a MCI7 is extremely simple, the problem is you have to reduce air bag pressure on tag axle to 25 psi to go anywhere, problem then, the tag axle hopps so you need about 30-33 psi to keep from hopping.
I played that game for a while, but going back to a 600 hp 8V-92 was cheaper,  simpler and more fun, the 12V caused alot of commotion everywhere.

Interesting to know that is a genuine concept - I've seen it in magazines but always figured it was just for show.
