OP, you may want to do some research on that. It costs about $1500 to make a Duramax or Cummins put out around 1200 ft/lbs of torque. That's not pie in the sky, you can get kits with a 5 inch exhaust and a programmer and there you are.

From what I've seen, they can get some really good 1/8th times but then they fall off. I think your car is faster overall but don't be shocked if he takes you off the line to 50 or 60.
