Diesel trucks that outrun Corvettes

I've written recently about drag racing and stock-car racing. Among my other destructive tendencies, I am attracted to speed in all things.

I recently found an impressive site that teaches how to improve diesel performance, to the point that you can get up to 300 horses out of a truck and make it competetive with a sports car! This seems like a hoot, ideal for the farmer who wants to outrun some city slickers. More impressively, the economic advantages of diesel don't disappear with this high performance--a tuned diesel can still get 20-25 mpg. Pretty impressive, more after the jump.
