Oh, for sure, it would be the perfect home for a Cummins. With diesel costing more than gas I would be more willing to turbo the V10. At least if I blow it up I can always get another V10 from the Wreckers for $800.00. Power isn't that much of an issue at the weight I'm at, I would just turbo it to up my fuel mileage a bit more. I have two T3's to do it, but I just got this machine so going to leave it alone for the time being.

I did upsize the rubber (19.5's to 22.5's) to get more mechanical advantage out of it. Using the Torq App and bluetooth OBD connector for data, it is so far showing better fuel mileage with the bigger rubber. I stay under 60mph with mine, the only ones getting 5mpg out of these things are the guys in the hammer lane, of which I will never understand.

Looks like you have a well-sorted plan, nice job. up
