<div>The diesel performance world has exploded with new offerings as of late, and diesel drag race cars and trucks are becoming more popular every year. With Ford's recent offering of the 6.4L Powerstroke diesel to replace the 6.0L, you had to know that diesel racers would be eager to claim the title of the "fastest." After his run last weekend at Bowling Green in the <a href="http://www.nhrda.com/" target="_blank">NHRDA</a> East Coast finals, Aaron Rudolf can now claim the title of fastest 6.4L. The truck was built and is raced by Rudolf, who is the owner of <a href="http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Rudys-Performance-Parts__W0QQ_nkwZdieselQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ipgZQQ_sasiZ1" target="_blank">Rudy’s Diesel Performance</a>. <br />
<br />
Word of this pass first came from <a href="http://www.thedieselgarage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87822&page=3" target="_blank">The Diesel Garage forum</a>, and was later confirmed by Rudolf with videos of the runs made that day. <br />

A few 6.4 Powerstroke’s have made it into the 11-second barrier, however, Rudolf wanted more from his ‘08 F250. With its extensive list of modifications, it ultimately ran an elapsed time of 11.01 seconds at 124.32 mph. Not only did Rudolf go home that day as the fastest 6.4L Powerstroke, but he also placed first in the Super Street class.<br />

<br />
So, how did this truck get there? No doubt the newest Powerstroke offering is in a class of its own, performance-wise. However, many modifications were made to the motor to achieve these times: a <a href="http://www.spartandieseltech.com/" target="_blank">Spartan</a> custom tune, <a href="http://www.nitrousexpress.com/" target="_blank">Nitrous Express</a> 2-stage kit, ported heads with bigger valves, and ported exhaust manifolds. The fuel system still contains stock fuel injectors (which Rudolf has plans to upgrade), with an upgraded fuel pump and fuel rails from <a href="http://www.elitedieseleng.com/" target="_blank">Elite</a>. <br />
<br />
Rudolf performed the EGR and DPF (diesel particulate filter) delete in-house. The suspension in the truck is essentially stock, and the truck rolls on a set of factory Ford 20” rims, wrapped in Toyo Proxes tires. The transmission is a fully built <a href="http://www.suncoastconverters.com/" target="_blank">Suncoast</a> 5R110 with a billet input shaft, intermediate shaft, and upgraded clutches. <br />
<br />
As it sits, the truck is extremely close to breaking into the 10-second range. More upgrades are planned for this already stout truck, and no doubt Rudolf knows how to get it done. Watch out, a 10-second 6.4 Powerstroke could be coming to a drag strip near you!<br />
