Ultimate Callout Challenge – Turbo Diesel Competition

Posted on

If you haven’t heard, you probably aren’t in their league…the upcoming Ultimate Callout Challenge (UCC), brought to you by Alligator Performance and Vibrant Performance,  is a nationwide callout to owners/builders of some of the biggest, buck nastiest diesel powered hot rods anywhere. Those that were contacted and invited are names that Diesel World Magazine and the Northwest Dyno Circuit (NWDC) deemed as the ‘best of the best’, guys who haven’t just made empty promises of big dyno numbers and crazy fast 1/4 mile times with trucks that haven’t even been built yet. The list of competitors is a strong one, filled with trucks that have already proven themselves. These guys are allowed to talk a big talk because they already proven they can walk a big walk. We’re talking horsepower numbers in the 1200+ range with some even pushing 2000hp. Those with 66mm turbochargers need not apply…this isn’t for your average daily driver. These are full out competition built rigs with owners who aren’t scared to use enough nitrous to send the NASA shuttle into orbit.

Run What You Brung this May 4-6, 2016 – Salt Lake City, Utah!

Vibrant SEMA 2014

Another very successful SEMA has come and gone. With it, a number of great feature vehicles, spectacular builds and even some ‘minor’ fender-bender action on the last day (Ouch, Liberty Walk Ferrari). We’ve collected so many great shots – here’s just a few with a focus around the use of Vibrant products, but in general, just an amazing collection of custom work. Have a look and don’t forget to check out Vibrant’s video coverage review, including interviews with a few special build teams!

The PRI Show (now owned by SEMA) has moved back to it’s classic location of Indianapolis.

the cold weather, attendance is looking to be strong over the next 3 days. We are at the Vibrant Performance booth, and will have free stickers available the entire show. Please stop by, take a few, and tell us if you follow us! We also plan to do updates periodically about the show on Facebook, and have a daily report about PRI posted on FabricationLife.com

The Black Pearl

135lbs of boost! We are sure there is more now, but just to throw that number from a compound 105mm x 84mm turbo setup makes this 92 Dodge Ram one extreme coal factory. Well over 1000’hp and a massive torque pull count, this Cummins is no slouch!
