so i just got my car back on the road and i was driving it last night. My friend has a 04 dodge 2500 with a cummins. He has a chip in it and a straight pipe. the chip has 4 stages but he has had it at 2 for a while. Im pretty much stock except for a z28 catback. His truck is pretty quick. Anyway we went out and ran them. We both spun off the line but i got a little jump. i pulled on him just a little bit and he was like right at my rear bumper. I shifted to 3rd and i wasnt pulling on him hardly any, but he wasnt pulling on me either. I wasnt use to the place that we raced so i ended up letting off at the wrong sign, but even after letting off i still crossed the real line before him by about a nose. my other friend was sitting at the line and has the finish on his cell, it was close. He was suppose to turn the truck up to 3 tonight and we were gonna run them again, but he had to put brakes on his truck so we didnt get a chance. i think itll be close but i think he will edge me out. we will see i guess. ill update on the results.

 

you're racing a diesel? lol

 

seen vids of a diesel smacking the sh*t out of 03 cobras. dually at that

 

yea but hes not racing one of those, hes racing a regular one.

 

I'm not up on my Dodge diesel specs but if it was a new Ford (6.0) it'd run 14.0s with just the programmer and exhaust. I'm sure GM's is the same.

His setup has multiple stages; he'll need more than the 60-80hp setting to make that big thing move. That's what the other two are for

 

it wasnt just a stock diesel, the thing will move pretty good. and also im just in a regular v6 camaro

im waiting for him to turn it up to 3 and im gonna go at it again, but i think hes afraid to go to 4. I cant really get any good races with my friends because everyone in western oklahoma drives a freaking truck, but his is the fastest out of all of my friends trucks.

 

believe it or not they get really fast. My dad has an 06 Duramax with power programmer on stage 2 (160hp), 5 inch exhaust all the way and a stage 2 intake. He beats hemi's in it all the time so they can get pretty quick especially for weighing 9k. Id be cautious if i were you

 

he still hasnt turned it up, but we raced from a roll with him on 2 and i beat him worse. i demanded it turned up to 3 tomorow, so we will see.

 

I get anialated by my friends 02 Cummins 4x4. Most of it is as a result of him 4 wheel drive launching at 20+ lbs of boost, but even on the highway when he's spraying it he keeps right along side me.

 

urs iis a 6? ooo i seee....a v8 would smoke him...those trucks r wayyy to heavy

 

Mine is a modified V8 that is slower than one. They are absurdly fast. There are quite a few running 10s now. Might even be one or two in the high 9s by now.

 

There are fullsize, fullweight, no nitrous/propane Duramax's in the 10's. Its not much to run low 12's in the 1/4 with one fullweight. There are a few in my lil town. I'm soon to be one of them

I've seen a few disels in the area rape ricers and such ...

Since we're on the topic ...

My roommate has an '03 1500 Dodge 5.7L Hemi pick up ... he wants to race my '83 Z28.

He's all stock, I've got the following

Rebuilt 350; K&N air filter; 600cfm brock performer carb, brock performer intake (From here, the rest of the engine is stock spec all the way down), timing at 10 degrees BTDC, TF350 with a shift kit, running premium fuel ....


Good race? or would it be a raping, I've driven his truck, its pretty quick but then again so is my camaro.

 

bump your timing up about 3 * and run 93 octane

 

By "up" you mean make it 13* BTDC or 7* BTDC? I've seen the locals in the area run 14*BTDC with no problem.
