Next Big Thing
In looking back at what has happened in the diesel performance world over the last five years, it is unbelievable how much progress has been made in so many areas(power, power delivery, drag racing, pulling, street trucks). This leaves me wondering and anticipating what will happen in the next 5-10 years, at this exponential rate on increase.

I am asking for your predictions on what will be the "next big thing" in the diesel power world. With promisses of better head flow, rapidly improving technology on the cp3 motors, and the ever-increasing streetability of big chargers lots of things are bound to happen in the next ten years.

So, what do you guys think? Feel free to give predictions on:
-tech advances?
-future ETs?
-future horsepower numbers? (street & competition motors)
-how will pulling change?
-how much longer will the p7100 be king?
-how the gasser world will react?
-new classes/divisions/associations etc?
-power delivery/power curve/ and transmissions?

I feel the next big catalyst will be when aftermarket high-flow (275-350+cfm) heads can be had at reasonable prices, and people start making tons of power with a little turbo, and outrageous power with big turbos.
