That, a 3 inch exhaust (mine was pretty quiet with a magnaflow muffler)...

Muffler? What muffler?

It'd be interesting to see a megasquirt on a diesel... Kind of like a chip added to the 24 valver (or powerstroke/dmax) I imagine. You could probably do some dynamic timing based on speed/load and put it way back for some better power AND FE (also reduces EGTs a bit and raises cylinder temps a bit. More fuel burns completely IN the cylinder instead of in the exhaust).

Do you have an intercooler on your setup?


I'm sure you already know this, but you better have a pyro if you want to start tuning up the performance... don't melt your turbo. Then also be sure to not blow your headgasket

I'm curious about the actual car itself. Being from 1959, I'm sure it doesn't have the best of safety features in the frame. Do you plan any reinforcement? I know that would add weight but in my book that would be worth it for not becoming a sandwich.

Project is looking great!
