    Default Bonneville Land Speed Record Pickup tuned by EFILive

    In one of many records and firsts, "Casper" our Duramax Diesel street truck hit the salt flats of Bonneville during Speed Week and clicked off a sustained average top speed of 174.586mph in the process of setting the two pass flying mile record of 166.850mph for a B/DT diesel pickup. Without EFILive, this would have been impossible.

    This was done only a few weeks after beating the best sled-pulling trucks in the west at the Thunder On The Lot sledpull.

    In there lies the beauty of EFILive: Drag Racing, Sled Pulling, Land Speed competition, EFILive gives us the flexibility of tailoring our engine and transmission performance to meet the specific needs of the racetrack.

    And the highway. Casper still gets 23mpg highway.
