Here's the video, but again, I doubt he has 2500 hp, he's lucky to get 1400 hp. He has higher top speed than Bouchard but slower ET, I guess his truck is lighter.

He can right after he swaps in a caterpillar..
Cummins had buttons baby..
550hp even with the pump wide open on a stocker is a good way to start an argument too..

I just noticed that you're across the pond, so I don't how it is over there.. But if a guy around here is after power he'll change the button, spring, add some shims, and open up the throttle shaft screw..
550 whp ain't a big deal anyway, unless you have a cummins..
Its all turns into bs in the end, so pay it no mind..
