Billet Duramax Engine Produces 3,500 Horsepower
Wagler Competition unveiled their new billet DX500 Duramax V8 engine at SEMA 2016. After pushing the factory Duramax platform to its limit they decided to build their own version from the ground up. The 500 ci engine they brought to SEMA features a PSI 210D screw blower producing 65-75 psi of boost and two Precision ProMod 102 turbochargers producing 140 psi of boost. To keep the engine cool and safe Wagler also installed a Nitrous and water-methanol injection systems. All together they help the engine produce 3,500 horsepower.
After the engine is tested on a dyno it will be shoved into a 2006 Silverado HD for the 2017 Callout Challenge. The challenge includes competing in drag racing, truck pulling and on a dyno. The truck will be on a tube chassis and featured a direct drive gearbox for truck pulling and Rossler transmission for drag racing.
