    Yea
    I'd wager a guess were somewhere around 5ish running 2 lanes all the time. Moving avg according to Gps is 38.

    I'll get a pic the 93 throws it out good. Timing prob could be bumped up a few more.

    Well, at least I will give you credit. You started your own thread. Last time you hi-jacked a X-15 thread. At least you took my advice and started your own thread which there is countless of them on here already anyways........

    I vote N-14+Celect.... business reasons only.

    It's got;
    *Pulling Tq of the CAT
    *Economy of the Detroit

    *And parts cost in the middle or closer to Detroit end of the spectrum.



    Bragging rights and cool factor: I'd go CAT 100% though

    I like the 14L pre-egr Detroit S60. A bit scarce, but none of the geartrain issues of the 12.7, and a few more cubes to squeeze. But I'm a Detroit fan anyway, have heard (and been passed by) some seriously nasty green monsters. There are some real brutes roaming around the Northeast and hopping down here from Quebec.

    Don't get me wrong, the Cummins N14, assorted Cats (3406, 3408) and Macks (E7-400+, E9) are all great motors in their own ways. Given my pick, I'd lean toward the Series 60, all things considered.
