I've only lost to one of them....but he has a blower.

I had gotten beaten by a few at the track in my old cammed crew cab, but they were both running nitrous and other bolt-ons, and they were reg. cabs against my crew.

They are not fast.... I have never ran into that ever gave me a problem. Neither on the steet or at the track. If you run mid 14's you have a shot.
If he is modded (full exhuast, intake, and doesnt weight as much as a house) then you might have to run 14.2-13.7 but thats about it.
I have truly never bothered with the Hemis. It just seemed un fair to have a 4.8 smoke them so bad

i wish some of yall lived around huntsville. i have a buddy with a scsb hemi that would love to hurt yalls feelings. he hurt mine when i had the full bolton 5.3 on motor(i ran 13.8 at the time). ive noticed some of the dodges are hit or miss. some will fly outa the box, and some will always be dogish no matter what you do to it. my buddies name is badblackhemi on this forum.

haha.....Yea I was just trying to get an idea. There are a bunch of Dodges around here with the "Ram 1500, 5.7 HEMI on the hood, 5.7 Hemi on the back panel, etc..." and I have only raced one. I mean these trucks look like a rolling MOPAR catalogue advertisement. I wanted to get the ones with all the hemi stickers and just look at his faace when I pass. You SRT-10 guys, Im still working on that

I know what you mean some guys go all out when it comes to the badges. I personally don't like any badges on my vehicles.
