Dodge Vs. Ford @ dyno day!

Ah there's nothing like spending a relaxing day at the dyno.
Today, at Dyno-mite diesel in Monroe Wa. I had the good fortune to wittness both a 2003 cummins and Ferd (with the new 6.0 litre) run and I can safely say the ferd was embarassed. They claim higher HP and torque than us but the dyno don't lie. The ford made about 10% less than the Dodge and when it pulled away they had to clean up a 2" spot of oil!!!
Other fun included running both our engines side by side and finding not only was the cummins quieter but was also smoother.
