As far as being slow- its a 4x4 ext cab on 33x12 mud terrains. Not exactly set up for racing. Thanks for noticing. Work on a few racecars, own a few bikes and some quick street/strip cars and you'll stop getting horney over 12 and 13 second car/trucks too

As for bikes go, that's a whole different class of racing. I've owned two different Honda CBR's a few years ago. A 99' 900 RR & a 03' 954. Without mods these bikes are already fast enough. But curiousity always happens and stock is always out of the subject. There is just no comparison when comparing a street bike to a truck or most modded street cars.
Lets just stick to trucks here. That's why we are here at this web-site.
If making your truck quicker or more powerfull is not your thing.......then why are you posting here?
You would not be the first 4x4 truck here racing it or modding it.
Your statement above probably wasn't the best thing to say. There are many guys here trying to make the most out of there 4x4 as well.
Just stick to your bikes and the web-sites affiliated with them since 13 to 12 sec vehicles are not your thing. That would make up the majority of us here.

"Well, ok, I’m an idiot- but my truck can beat up your truck" I love the way the first thing to come from you in both posts was "well why dont you come down here and we'll race!" Good work. That will prove who is right.
I have had plenty of experience with fast things and powertrains. Its safe to say I know a bit about a chassis. I have more powertrain training/learning/development opportunities available to me than I care to utilize.
I joined this site to ask questions during my ultra rushed engine swap. Again, why is this relevant?
A stock or moderately modified duramax is NOT going to bend a 1500 frame. Or even come close.
What the hell is parish running? 1000rwtq/rwhp by now? Its ******* fine. Its a full length steel frame. Its not going anywhere.
My keyboard can beat up your keyboard.

It will flex a 1500 frame a little more than what would be wanted.
Where are your street/ strip cars???? Did you sell them already......
I guess we have a chassis genius on deck. What kind of chassis did you work on? Go-carts????

Let it go Jim and Trey either way there isnt anybody doing it right now on this site so it doesnt matter the frames are strong they could probably handle the torque but there is ALWAYS room for improvement and boxing and putting sub frame connectors in would probably help.
