So Close To 1st Place, Back To Leave It All Out There | Colt Carter - AMSOIL UCC 2026
Diesel Performance PodcastShow Notes
From wrenching on everything to starting his own diesel shop, Black Magic Performance, to competing in his third AMSOIL UCC event, Colt Carter joins the podcast to talk his about his Cummins and what he expects from this year's event. From putting down a 2nd place finish his first AMSOIL UCC and then improving the next year in the drag race and dyno portion of the challenge, this man has left it all out there. Fracturing his foot from his piston blasting apart on the dyno and spending all night trying to mke sure the truck could make the sled pull portion, this man embodies a no quit attitude. Colt has what it takes to win it and when you hear his story and what he's dealt with this past year, you can't help but root for him. Good luck Colt!

Anthony and Chris are back to tackle a topic we often get a ton of questions about: compound turbo kit or single turbo?

Class is in session on turbos!
We have a mid-week bonus episode!
