I'm on my way home from work last night. I merge right in the passing lane( because I'm a good boy who drives the speed limit)and here comes this truck around me. I wasnt even gonna mess with the guy until I saw the first 2' of the front end and saw the big C, HA no way ! So I punched it and gave him some smoke. He accepts and we nose up about 60mph and I let him hit the throttle first and I still passed him NO PROBLEM!! I accelerated until my speedo was buried and I look back and could barely see him. We got into town and nosed up about 30mph and he still couldnt compete, and then we come to a stop light and here we go again. I have a hard time hooking up( I need new tires ) so he got a tiny jump on me but within a few yards he was seeing my tailgate and then at about 70mph I had probably 4 or more truck lenghts on him and gaining. I'm really not trying to sound like I'm bragging but I'm sick of hearing how Duramax sucks hind tit to cummins. I dont have that much done to my truck and I know my day is coming but I've only had one real close race with one of these Goats 5.9 & 6.7 I've whipped them both. How can the magazines say that we are second or even third in some opinions , you have to put alot of money into a power stroke to get them to run with us, half the time if they just have a chip and exhaust we smoke them stock!! I know because its a straight 6 the cummins builds low end faster but over 1000 HP in most cases takes nitrous we can get 1200 HP just on fuel. I want to see a duramax and a cummins of the same class get roughly the same upgrades, air intake,exhaust and tuning and run them on the track and the dyno and hook up a sled and I bet we win.:rofl:

You lucky guy's that have the time and money to build the baddest D-max's out there and go to these competitions need to know, that you may not know all of us but we are behind you and would be there to help if we could. Make us proud and show the dodge and ford boys that DURAMAX is the best !!!:D

I'm not trying to sound like a dumbass I'm just sick of hearing and reading about us being 2nd or 3rd place to the competition


Dude, are you talking to yourself...? :D


Nice kill!

Hey , be easy on a fella:rofl: just was wondering why it took so long to get any feedback, and I've been arguing with the guy's at work for the last 4 days about this shit so i was kinda ticked. I showed one mopar lover that vid of the d-max v.s the new challenger and he said it was fake that a 3/4 ton truck couldnt out run a 400-500hp car "thats impossible" and I said seeing is believing. So the dmax dodge and ford subject has been discussed every night this week @ work, I just want to prove to them that I'm right:D

You need to throw a Suncoast kit in your transmission and then crank that PPE up and show them what 500rwhp feels like

I read an article one on equal $ for $ modding the Ferd, Goat, and D-max, i.e. programer, exhaust and intake...To say the least, the D-max made way more HP (responded the best to mods) and was way faster the the others. Really, the Dmax stock will run with modded Goat/Ferds. It takes a lot of money to make a Dodge or Ford faster. This is where we shine. Now, making really stupid HP, we are, IMHO, behind the dodge guys. After about 600hp, we need pistons and rods and there after, cranks. Those Dodge boys bottom end is much better at handling serious HP. There will always be those Dodge folk that can go faster with a lot of money. And for us to keep up, it will take a lot more money due to rod/piston investments needed. However, in the realm of every day life of 90% of modders just doing simple bolt on's like intake, exhaust, chips, water/meth, and such, we will win. Now you throw in some dual fuelers and turbos, they start pulling ahead since we will need the bottom end work to live over 600rwhp where as they don't. So, race to 600hp and we will win, start spending moderate dollars on fuelers and turbos, they are pulling ahead, then thow in some big dollars, rods/pistons/crank on top of fuelers and turbos and we are back in the game again. There is this middle ground where Dodges and Fords win. We win with low dollar HP and high $ HP, but we have no middle ground. Over 600hp and we are talking big $$ and they are not.

not to be the dodge guy stirring things up, but as you just said, over 600 hp and dmax talking big $$ and cummins not...

where you guys are spending these extra $ just to make these numbers, the cummins guys are making just that much, then more HP/TQ on top of what you are making... just something i thought i would point out, dont wanna cause any drama or get flamed here... just pointing that out.
