Wyatt Stengel wasted little time showing SICK Week attendees what his old-school GMC could do. On Day 1, the Exergy-fueled, LB7 Duramax-swapped K1500 ran an 8.28 through the quarter-mile—and it was followed by a 7.87 at 171 mph the following day, thanks to a much-improved, 1.25-second 60-foot. Wyatt’s 7-second blast reset the high mark in the 1320 for a four-wheel drive Duramax, and it couldn’t have happened to someone more deserving. Many forget, or simply don’t know, that Wyatt built this truck entirely within the confines of his home garage, with him handling most (if not all) of the work himself. What’s more is that he did it on a single turbo (S485), a single CP3, and a 4L80 transmission.

Rick Fletes and the Duramax-powered ’70 Chevelle were also on hand at SICK Week, and the 8-second muscle car went the 900-mile distance in style. This year, Rick and team finished with an 8-second average across the board, putting up 8.84, 8.89, and (two) 8.83-second quarter-mile passes. With solid consistency, the Chevelle’s 60-foots ranged from 1.28 seconds to just 1.32 and, thanks to leaving soft on purpose, traction was never an issue. At the end of the week, Rick laid claim to a Second Place finish in Freaks and took home First Place for diesels. Rick’s iron man style approach to drag ‘n drive events never gets old, or ceases to impress.

Meet Shane Kaiser’s “little tow rig build.” It’s a ’59 Chevrolet Viking with an eye-pleasing 12-valve Cummins between the frame rails. The frame rails? They’re all original, though Shane fabbed up his own motor mounts. As for the P-pumped 5.9L? It’s packing a custom header built by Shawn Totten of Conover Custom Fabrication. Perhaps most importantly, the Cummins was made to fit without touching the original firewall. Even better yet, a mechanical fan (no clutch) and air-to-air intercooler have been packaged behind the original (albeit modified to allow more airflow) grille. We think the Pontiac blue paint is a great touch.

You can never have enough fabricators, and the diesel industry just gained a significant talent in Lewis Carter. Lewis opened the doors of Carter Built in recent weeks, and is taking on work for custom fabrication, tig welding (intercooler piping, exhaust systems, roll cages, four links, etc.), and plasma table services. On top of that, he performs diesel and gas engine repairs and everything in between. From general maintenance to full-on engine rebuilds, his Williamsburg, Pennsylvania location will be a busy place soon. Some of you may recognize Lewis’s name from the 1,700+ hp Cummins-powered, OBS Ford he’s drag raced and dyno’d, or the various custom fab jobs he’s had a hand in over the years.

Groundbreaking news out of the Jumping Jack Flash camp—home of the 6.7L Power Stroke-powered 2016 F-350 that competes in the Pro Stock diesel truck class: in 2026 it will feature Cummins propulsion. Coinciding with longtime engine provider and sponsor, Hypermax Engineering, being acquired by Chaos Fabrication LLC, JJF’s Ference and Nathan Vegh announced it was time to make the switch. This season, their Blue Oval will have a bulletproof power plant from Haisley Machine parked under the hood—and three turbos hanging off the side of it. That’s right, the Jumping Jack Flash Ford might no longer be Power Stroke powered, but it will be running in the Super Stock class!
A supercharged Dark Horse vs. a BMW M4 Competition is basically America and Germany arguing in fluent horsepower. Edmunds lined them up for U-Drags (down, brake/turn, and back), and the numbers are… loud: 810 hp / 615 lb-ft for the blown Dark Horse vs 503 hp / 479 lb-ft for the M4. The BMW is lighter (3,768 lbs vs 4,122 lbs), but at some point extra power starts speaking for itself. Go watch the chaos.
