Why it's cool: Cole's P-pump conversion truck is a testament to the kind of power you can make on a budget. Believe it or not, the transmission is a non-lockup style with stock shafts. The only internal modifications are some good clutches, a steel planetary, and a Spec-Rite torque converter. The P-pump conversion "wasn't that hard" says Cole, and the pump has simple modifications anybody can perform.

Other: ARP 625 head studs, full rollcage
Weight: 7,000 pounds
Best E.T.: 10.83 @ 129 mph
Rear Wheel Horsepower: est. 1,000 hp
Why it's cool: Drake owns one of the very few common-rail Dodges we know of that can run in the 10-second zone, and that's without the crazy three-stage nitrous system activated. The truck is also a 1-ton, so that helps him in the cool department. Although the truck has never been dyno'd in its current configuration, power is conservatively estimated at 1,000 horsepower to the wheels.
