**bgable** · 11-11-2007, 04:52 PM

theres this guy in town with a stock twin tubo dodge diesel cummins(think its an 05 but not sure) he wants to race to 100mph for at least a hundred bucks he thinks his truck is bad as hell like the majority of truck owners n he and his buddies think hell smoke me by 2-3 cars is this true ive never seen them ru nso i have no clue what theyll do my mods are lid,shift kit for now hopefully have Lt's Td's and and LS6 intake in a few weeks..so what you guys think?

**Tyler_LS1** · 11-11-2007, 04:56 PM

well with the LT's and duals you will gain a good amount of power.

then i bet you will be able to beat him, just find out what his mods are.

from a roll his truck is probably gonna take you I have a 05 dodge dually with the 6-gun and exhaust and mine is pretty quick for a 7000 lb truck I can't imagine what it would be like with the twin turbo setup and if his is an auto it will be an easy race for him mine is a 6-speed very long throws so if you can get some gears and race 1/8 mi just a suggestion

Let us know the results after you race.

**bgable** · 11-11-2007, 05:54 PM

hes stock but i didn't think a truck could beat are cars damn even from a roll when i could get better traction i wouldnt take him? also what mph do these trucks shut off at? in the case that i could get him to race to say 130 or so?could i take him?

**ls1speedster** · 11-11-2007, 06:14 PM

i seen an 05 or so cummins at a track, crewcab

dont know his mods
but stacks for sure

he went 8 flat..
very impresive for a truck

**Tyler_LS1** · 11-11-2007, 06:14 PM

Well if hes stock then you will have no problem what so ever beating him from a dig or a roll, and a 04-06 cummins is a single turbo not twin

**garver** · 11-11-2007, 06:46 PM

Weight is also an issue

**98BlackTA** · 11-11-2007, 08:14 PM

Stock i'd say yes. My buddy has a 2005 duramax lifted and sitting on 38's but he has new injectors in it and programer and a bunch of other stuff. And will hang with my car up to about 80 then i pull on him and leave him. But never underestimate deisels man now days they will fly.

**kebie05** · 11-11-2007, 08:32 PM

I Dont Know What Kind Of Dodge Truck It Was, But When I Went To The Track A Couple Of Weeks Ago There Was One Running Like 12.7 Or So. It Was Haulin .......

**hutch1999** · 11-11-2007, 08:38 PM

You will win. The cummins is a fast truck but you are in a TRANS AM if he is stock you will completely stomp his ass. Take his money and spend it on some mods.

I ate a newer gen hemi-dodge when I had my GTP, although he had about 100HP extra on paper the weight and power distrubution were nowhere near my cars. I'd say the only truck out there I'd be concerned about is a ford lightning stock. Otherwise I'm pretty confident saying you'd pull it off.

mine with the stock setting will top out at 100 but that is cause of the 3200 rpm shutoff the reason to take him from a stop is cause the turbo lag just dont underestimate a diesel

Carefull it may look like a big huge heavy fullsize pick-up but "the Viper-powered 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10, which the manufacturer calls "the boldest, baddest and fastest full-size pickup ever." The truck houses the highest displacement engine in a factory pickup truck--the same 8.3-liter V-10 that powers the all-new 2003 Dodge Viper.
If it's power you're after, this truck sets out to deliver it, with 500 horsepower and 525 lb.-ft. of torque. The truck goes from 0 to 60 in approximately five seconds and tops out at about 150 mph." Take a long look before you lay down money. Anything is possible these days.

amen thats a badass truck

**tigersport14** · 11-15-2007, 08:47 AM

haha i pulled an srt-10 by 2 cars from 50-100 the other day =) i feel special

**35thAnniZ28** · 11-15-2007, 03:07 PM

so why would you believe hes stock?/ just from a tune don't they gain like 50-70 horses?

**TMR Arb** · 11-15-2007, 03:48 PM

yeah i would be careful, there are things he could of done to it but it might still look stock, i've seen some fast full sizes out there, but i think you have a good chance. let us know the out come

**hutch1999** · 11-16-2007, 11:44 AM

Even with a chip and or programmer there is nothing to afraid of. My buddy has a 2006 cummins with a chip and yes its fast for a big truck. It blows a bunch of black smoke out and makes a lot of noise but its still slow compared to a fbod. My stock a4 Lt1 would have handed his ass to him. The top speed w/ the chip was right around 97 mph. It would take a lot of money to make one as fast as a Ls1.

**smoknponcho73** · 11-16-2007, 12:10 PM

i think you should be good. ive seen people put a lot of money into a 8000 pound truck to make it run in the 12's which is impressive for a truck but not so much for an f-body plus he would have to more than double your power in order to keep up with power to weight ratio
