I would LOVE to see him re-run with an empty 53 footer behind him. I bet it would still be awesome.

Man that is impressive.....that sucker has to have some juice. At our local track here in Colorado, there is an OLD SCHOOL rig that comes down to the annual truck fest that is INSANE fast. Thing looks like hell, but man does it smoke and man is it fast......I think he is in the low 12's if I remember right.

Sounds to me more like a jake set on 2 or 4 cylinders , or maybe even all 6 , helps to shift WAY faster.

Well by the looks its not his first time and he sure knows what he is doing, he probally has a good clutch, and starts in the highest gear in the low side of the tranny, slips it like you would in a standard CTD and leaves his engine brake on the highest level. When he shifts the engine brake comes on and he shifts, super fast , an engine brake is pretty close to an exhaust brake on a CTD except it holds the exhaust valves closed slowing the engine down really fast thus dropping his rpms fast enough to allow him to shift insanely fast
