Default SS Silverado vs Dodge Daytona

Well, I had my first race to today in my new SSS. There was a Dodge Daytona that kept egging me on, I didn't want to race yet, because I was told to put at least 500 mi. on it before I got on it. That didn't last to long!! We started off at a light the first time, he got me for about 10ft, because the Hemi's have a 3:92 axle, but it wasn't long before I started to WHOOP HIS ***!!! I caught up to him in about 2 seconds and started to pull away from him hard. I left him about 10 car lenth's in about a mile, before he started to slow down. If that wasn't enough, he wanted to do it again. I thought to myself, this guy hasn't learned his lesson yet!! We were at about 35 mph and did it again. This time, my truck down shifted, and lauched. He had no chance of catching me that time. When he finally caught up to me at the next light, he gave me a thumbs up. It was a great day today!!

from what ive seen with my friends QC 2wd hemi, the 3.92s still seem pretty high for them.. but he has the enormous 20s.
and i think their size are 275/60/20 thats 2" taller than my tires.. so im guessing the final ratio is close,, but the weight kills them..
stock they are pretty much dogs.. but i do like the kickdown 2nd gear.. thats pretty neat. but he still cant keep up...

AWD SS trucks have 4.10 gears in front and rear diffs.
2WD SS, VHO's, and V-Max trucks all have the 345 hp 6.0L Though most should only come with the 3.73 gears.
All the trucks from 04' to 06' that come with factory 20's from GM, will more than likely have the 275/55/20 GDY Eagle LS or LS-2 tires.

the newer dodges with factory 20's have larger tires than 275/55's, but I can't remember the size exactly.
