That is real cool, good to get diesels in the racing world to help push the limits and find solutions etc.. waytogo

VERY cool! But it seems that if they had taken the time to visit the Cummins and Powerstroke BBS's on line, they would have quickly realized that aluminum is unreliable and will always melt in a diesel application (a la Duramax naysayers). [/sarcasm]

Are the ABEC-5 Muffler bearings the ultra low friction types? I can use a set, I have heard they can help gas mileage by 50%!

2004 Chevy 2500HD LB7 D/A LT CC/SB. Superconductive blinker fluid, ABEC-5 muffler bearings, high flow tinkle valve, strengthened fremble keys, custom spindle huckers and infinately adjustable actuator nubbins matched to polished and matched tweedle ports, dual piston return springs, and some other stuff that comes off when it goes in for warranty work.

Yes, and the actuator nubbins help enhance the effect when adjusted properly!
