So you think it is fair to compare the Cummins powered rails at 2,500 pounds and the tube trucks at 3,500 pounds to the Pro-Street class Duramax at 5,900 pounds? Like he said, comparing the Pro-Street Cummins trucks to the Pro-Street Duramax you are looking at a half second delta.

The Cummins is badass no doubt but gimme a break on your goat colored glasses....

No, Im just saying that in these dyno event and drag races, normally you have a single power adder, dual power adder and triple power adder classes... Most of these DMax's waste the Cummins with stacked boxes and nitrous, as apposed to a Cummins with injectors, turbo, stacked boxes and nitrous- nearly twice as many mods..
Im just saying there is realy no good to compare these diesels.. Its like comparing Indy to Nascar is a way..

something else to add to the cummins/everyone else discussion, the cummins have been around alot longer than the other diesels, they have more research/development behind them. I like the cummins, dont get me wrong, but they still sound like a six cylinder... More than enough reason IMO to buy a d-max/powerstroke. Im sure i will catch some **** for this, but oh well.

That's only because the gas engines don't come with turbo's on them.

I am impressed with how much the stock D'max holds up to. We have a diesel racing class up here. The Max's clean up just about every week. When you aren't comparing trucks made specificly to drag race, it always seems to be the Max coming out on top.

Its amazing how easy adding some psi and some fuel is on the diesels. The same could be true for the gas engines as well (if they came with turbo's).

And the damn heavy duty parts the Duramax's come with. Its amazing how stout the internals are.

Hell, I hope the Cummins is a beast, poor guys have to drive a Dodge truck to get 'em.
