    Cool info. I guess the only time diesel is lower it appears, is when gas takes off. Diesel then takes a little while to catch up. Convinces me even more that a gas half ton is the way to go.

    It won't be long before there is some pretty good bio-diesel production being made. As long as the folks that own the factories can keep from getting greedy and selling out to the oil comp's and don't mind taking a big risk investing a **** pot full of money, then it will be fine.

    I think I will start making my own when I get home. Especially if I am running a fuel guzzling dozer. It might not be good for my waistline though, w/ the smell of popcorn coming out of the stack all day.

    [offtopic]That's actually a pretty good, if ridiculously simplified, explanation of how the process works. The "trays or plates", among other things, are what I sell.[/offtopic]

    CHEVROLET ANNOUCES CERTIFIED POWER RATINGS FOR THE NEW CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZR1: 638 HP FROM THE SUPERCHARGED LS9 V-8




    PONTIAC, Mich. – When it was introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit earlier this year, the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1's power was estimated at 100 horsepower for each of its 6.2 liters of displacement. GM Powertrain has completed SAE certification of the ZR1's supercharged LS9 V-8 and the results exceed the estimate: 638 horsepower (476 kW) and 604 lb.-ft. of torque (819 Nm).

    The LS9's output is nearly 103 horses per liter, or just about 1.7 horses for each of the engine's 376 cubic inches. It is unquestionably the most powerful automotive production engine ever manufactured by General Motors and enables the Corvette ZR1 to achieve a top speed of more than 200 mph (322 km/h).

    "One of the most amazing things about the Corvette ZR1 is the level of refinement that our designers and engineers have attained. Even with all that power, this car has road manners that will allow our customers to enjoy it on the streets as a daily driver, and on the track," said Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper.

    The Corvette ZR1 goes on sale this summer. Its 638-hp supercharged engine is complemented in the chassis by heavy-duty components not offered in any other model, including a six-speed manual transmission with race-hardened gears and dual-disc clutch technology that delivers exceptional clamping power and lower inertia, as well as strengthened axle components.

    Fuel economy testing has not been completed, but engineers are confident the ZR1 will be the most fuel-efficient 600-plus-horsepower car on the market.

    The LS9 engine is hand-built by specially trained technicians at GM's Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich.
    It is a unique, small-volume engine production facility that also builds the Chevrolet Corvette Z06's LS7 engine and other high-performance GM production engines.

    "Developing the LS9 involved more than simply striving for a great horsepower number. Endurance and reliability testing have shown the engine to be robust and low-maintenance, just like other engines in the small-block family," said Sam Winegarden, executive director, engine engineering for GM Powertrain. "That it is distinguished as the most powerful engine ever from General Motors is a source of immense pride among everyone involved with the LS9."

    Supercharged aspiration

    The key enabler of the LS9's performance is the industry's first production application of a new, positive-displacement Roots-type supercharger that has a unique four-lobe rotor design. Its design promotes quieter and more efficient performance, while the large, 2.3-liter displacement ensures adequate air volume at high rpm. Maximum boost pressure is 10.5 psi (0.72 bar). It is teamed with an integrated charge cooling system that reduces inlet air temperature for maximum performance.

    "The combination of large displacement and the new, four-rotor design broadens the effective range of the supercharger, allowing the engine to make more power at lower rpm and sustain it throughout the power band," said Winegarden. "The low-end torque is tremendous and the high-rpm charge from the supercharger is simply amazing."

    A raised hood provides adequate clearance for the LS9, while a polycarbonate window in the hood provides a view of the engine beneath it.

    LS9 details

    The LS9 features many unique design and manufacturing details that support its high-performance nature. They include:

    Aluminum cylinder block with iron cylinder liners that are finish-bored and honed with a deck plate installed
    Forged steel crankshaft with a nine-bolt flange
    Titanium connecting rods and forged aluminum pistons
    Stronger, rotocast cylinder heads with 2.16-inch (55 mm) titanium intake valves and 1.59-inch (40.4 mm) hollow-stem, sodium-filled exhaust valves
    Camshaft with 0.555-inch (14.1 mm) lift for excellent idle and low-speed driving qualities
    A dry-sump oiling system with 10.5-quart (9.9 liters) capacity
    Integrated oil cooler and piston-cooling oil squirters

    I know many of you are interested in the latest details on the new Corvette ZR1. We’ve been working on the car for a while now and recently, we decided to put the pedal to the metal and see just how fast it could go.

    On a cool day with light wind in early April, the Corvette Development Engineering team took it to the test track in Papenburg, Germany. The ZR1, with its 638 horsepower supercharged LS9 V-8 engine, clocked in at a staggering 205 miles an hour (330 km/h). We’re thrilled with the results and excited for it to hit the streets. We even brought a camera along for the ride to document our experience. Check out the video posted above.
