Yeah, a 4.11 and a diesel would't be fun at all. If you heat wrapped to retain as much heat to the turbines and were able to keep it from kicking down a gear so you could give it a good load for the turbo to spool against could you get it to spool 6 pounds around 1500 rpm or lower? That would give it a nice push off. I drove a mercedes v6 turbodiesel Vinto? 9 passenger van and it was like trying to get a boat to plain out it was so laggy. Seemed like it took a full two to three seconds to get the boost going good.
