those are abt as sleepers as you can get. if u hear them wanting to race dont. and don't pick on the big ones, they usually are the fastest. i almost got beat by one for not bein care full. tried to play with him a little but it took off alot faster than i thought it would and i had to play catch up big time but i redemed my self when i passed him.

The only one I have ever seen at the track was running 14.30's with a tune and exhaust.... so it really depends on how much cash is pumped into it... is it not allways the same????

Just depends on the weight of the truck you are in. My RCSB ram with 318 5speed beat my friends powerstroke with a 5in. straight exhaust and the Edge thingy and i have beat cummins too. Uphill!!! From a standing start

There is not a Duramax on the planet that weighs in at 5000 pounds unless somebody took a chainsaw to it. Regular cab long beds weigh in at about 6500. Mine weighs in at 7300.

It really depends on the programming too. Most of your single chip setups make low to mid 800's on torque. My programming makes 540 on fuel and mid 1100 range for torque. It does move the load pretty damn well. I was running down the road the other day at 60 MPH and the streets were just a tad damp from the rain. I rolled into the go pedal not thinking it would be a big deal but the boost hit 40 pounds and the *** end started hula dancing on me. Gotta love monster torque......
