According to the comments the car overpowered the chassis dyno so there were no numbers. Those guys had balls standing that close to it when the injectors opened.....

Not like any diesel I ever saw. It does not have the diesel sound to it. Whay are there butterflys in the hat on top of the blower? On a normal diesel the engine RPM and power is controlled by the injection system, not the air intake. Tell us more about how it works.

I haven't found any technical information on it, but the Hotrod blog has picked it up... http://blogs.hotrod.com/see-video-of-a-top-fuel-hemi-converted-to-burn-diesel-144117.html
They might be firing the injectors more like the timing sequence of a gas motor and the butterflies are just to reduce air at idle. The injectors may not be able to flow a small enough amount of fuel at idle so they reduce the air too. All depends on what the duty cycle they are running them at and how much fuel they need at full boost. Course I could just be spittin in the wind too...Lol
