I had heard that there was no limit to exhaust size for efficiency with diesel like there is with gas, but I heard it from a diesel drag racer, so took it with a grain of salt. Now that it is corroborated by an FE enthusiast like myself I feel more solid about it.
Well guys and galls, the ecomodder who is swapping me the diesel for my electric truck is dropping it off at 11pm tonight (they work nights) so Santa is coming early this year!
In unrelated news, I pulled off a trade today, the wife wanted a recumbent trike (pedal powered) and I was able to swap a full suspension mountain bike and some woodworking tools for one! Better yet it is a cargo trike with a 500lb load capacity! I am on someones nice list.
