Keep in mind though that max'd out didn't do any sled pulling last year either:thumb: (that i know of:eek:)

I can see it getting interesting though....hopefully this actually goes down.
What the hell does that have to do with a drag race? :confused:

That's like saying they didn't participate in any mud bogs either...

Good luck to both racer's but I think rob has the edge because he is a DRAG racer I like both trucks both has done some really awesome work as far as duramax performance and keeping the dmax name on top just dimtri trucks does better on a dyno then it does on the track and it is gonna be hard to take a truck that is built for the dyno and bet a truck that is made for the track

When I watched Rob run at Topeka it wasnt turned up. You never show what you can do until the time is needed from a racers stand point if you know at some point you will have to. You really think Maxed Out can only run 9.70's:rofl:

C'mon Steve. SHHH.:secret: There are sled pullers in here and we don't want them to know how we think and that we're as secretive as they are.

What the hell are you compairing a ccsb to a rclb for? And a truck that was built just for drag racing vs. a truck that is is/was daily driven?

Not saying dimitri's rc cab is going to win but lets atleast compair the right trucks here.

Exactly maxxed out is about as much of truck as a Honda civic

I'm not saying anything bad about maxxed out but it's a full blown race truck how could a dd compare just have to wait and see how well dimitri's full blown race truck will compare

We are comparing nitrous to fuel here so if dmitri's truck doesn't beat rob after a few practices runs and it gets good a dialed in, I will be very surprised. Im not saying it will because I know Rob is one hell of a tuner, but if Rob has the faster time this coming year, thats just plain amazing...

Curious question when did this become about who brought what to the race, and excuses for why it is not fair? I read; a man call another man out to a drag race, no excuses no bs.. run what you brung. If you don't have enough then go back and try try again. :confused:

I dont see why people are making excuses already. Nitrous VS Fuel etc. And if you would read the post Dmitri is building a RCLB so Im unsure why you guys are arguing about a CCSB? Its their choice which power adders they like to use, a race is a race.

Well, Dmitri hasn't put is RC on the track yet. There is no data to compare. Unless Dmitri has changed plans, he is going to be putting the motor from the red truck in his RC. With 1700 HP, that truck should run a helluva lot faster than 10.7 in the 1/4. Just look at Ken's truck. It is an EC/SB with probably closer to 1000 HP or a little less and runs faster than Dmitri's truck, and it is fuel only. The point is, Dmitri can make big horsepower on a dyno, but it has yet to show up in his ET at the track. He has had some big trap speeds, but trap speeds don't win races...

15.Nasty Girl 10.35 @ 131 - LB7- MOONSHINE

The next day, Keith made 930hp using the same tune when he ran 10.35. Oh yea, this was with a crew cab shortbox, no seats, full cage.

I can't imagine another 770hp would make essentially the same truck run 4 tenths slower. Bad real world tuning? Bad chassis? Bad driving? Slipping trans? No traction?

IIRC Dmitri only had 1100rwhp when he ran 10.7 @137. time has nothing to do with hp. Mph shows how much Hp a truck is making.

That's true, but ET wins races. You can have all the horsepower in the world, but if you can't make it work on the track, it isn't doing you any good.

I thougt he ran that after he dyoned the big number. Doesn't mean he ran the same amount of nitrous on his passes. Dyno's are fun to see numbers, but I've seen trucks with what I call dyno tunes run like crap down a drag strip. I'm sure not his case but using less power to try and get the power to the ground on his 10.70's pass. His mph does show it can go much quicker. That being said if his regular cab is setup right and hooks I'm sure it will run a great number. But to think Maxed out only has 9.70's in it is rediculas. I'm sure it will be a good time seeing these two go at it. Someone will be in the 8's next year it's just who gets their first. Don't forget about Buck and Trent.
