I can answer that since I switched from my CLS to my Ford Diesel. Those trucks are pushing 425-475 hp at the wheels but it's the TQ that's more important they are pushing around 1000ft/lbs to the wheels. The new style diesels (ford's 6.0, GM's duramax, Dodge's Cummings HO) will put down these numbers with an air intake, exhaust, chip and bigger turbo or propane (does what NOS does for a gas car). So if you went with a chip ($600), intake ($300), exhaust ($500), propane kit ($600) = $2000 it would get you mid to low 11's. High 10's if you use 4x4 to take off (less spin) that’s why I had such a drastic change in vehicles. The only down side to the diesel is the noise but they keep getting quieter every 2 years or so. Soon they will not much louder than a gas engine.

probably around 1,000 ft lbs.
I went to HS w/ Gale Banks son from www.bankspower.com. He had a picture of a motorhome doing a burnout, it was great
