1000 HP/1750 FT/LBS. torque 12 valve f-350

Did anybody receive the new issue of Off Road magazine (March 2005)? On the cover is Mad Dog's Cummins powered F-350. The article starts on Page 50. The article claims 1000 HP & 1750 ft./lbs. of torque from a Piers' built 12 valve with twin turbos by Turbo Auto Diesel (136 psi of boost), custom Hypermax intercooler, Jeff Prince/Industrial Injection injectors and a Bosch P7100 race pump. This is were these magazine writers need to really check their facts, "Edge Products supplied the box that controls everything." How is a power box used to control anything on a mechanical 12 valve? The truck is owned by Richard "Mad Dog" Madsen Of Springdale, Utah. Another misprint in the article is "Richard's best 1/2 mile time so far is 10.59 seconds at a 130 mph." I'm assuming they meant 1/4 mile time. Is it me, or is a 130 mph a little slow for a 10.59 1/4 mile? I'm not dissing the guy, it looks like an awsome well built truck. Does anybody know anything about this truck? Maybe Piers can provide some info on this truck. The article states that this is his daily driver. It just seems that these magazine writers get things a little exaggerated when it comes to diesel pickup trucks. Thumbs up to Richard Madsen for a powerful daily driver/racer. -Glen
