What’s weird is that Gale Banks, one of the godfathers of turbocharging and a huge name in diesel performance, is adamant that rolling coal is stupid. Especially in modern engines with lightening fast fuel control systems… more forgivable in older diesels with mechanical injection systems. But he says it’s money and horsepower literally blowing out your exhaust, being a internal combustion engine enthusiast myself I don’t understand wanting to leave performance blowing away in the wind; that’s YOUR unburnt diesel blowing away! In THIS economy!
Just for context, the US uses around 7 billion barrels per year. Can keep the SUVs going for the better part of a century.
Assholes can roll coal for a century.
