Think we'll ever see anyone brave enough to pull their 2.8 or put money into it to build it up and enter it in a truck pull? I wouldn't mind seeing how they would do.
Have been going to a lot of the local diesel pickup truck pulls lately watching some friends from work pull their trucks. They all have full-size Duramax's of varying years and degree's of modification done to them. Most of them pull in the street stock class (can't have bigger turbo or injectors or anything like that, but you can have a tuner, bigger turbo wheel inside stock housing, beefed up tie rods) and are their daily drivers and have stock transmissions.
They all do really well. Most pulls we go to, if there are 20 trucks, the guys I know usually place in the top 3 to 5 trucks. They help each other work on the trucks and generally beat everyone. Together they have a lot of knowledge on how to pull really good, consistently. Here's the video of the one boy I work with, with his 2007 Silverado 2500HD LBZ:
