I visited Davis Diesel (http://www.davisdiesel.com) in Spokane, Washington a couple of years ago to do some dyno work for an aftermarket air intake system installation I was involved in. While there, I found out that Jeff Davis (the owner) is a fan of the 6.5, and had been working on a project vehicle of his own - a 1983 GMC.
I just received the most recent newsletter from DD, and was surprised to see a half page discussion and photo about his 83. This section was entitled "Fastest 6.5L Diesel in Town". That phrase caught my eye....
Jeff reports his balanced 6.5 is running with a "special" fuel injection pump built by Advanced Diesel Supply, an HX-40 turbocharger, custom intercooler (charge-air-cooler) located behind the grille and 4L80-E. Jeff is reporting 285-hp to the ground and 20-mpg on the highway. That's cool! :cool:
