So im on my way to buddys house and i gun it threw a yellow light to make it through and off to my right i see a cummins with a 3-4in lift with some 35s sooo apprarently i blew a ton of smoke pretty much just reeling in that dodge in to play but not on purpose i know cummins are quick BUT heres the race so hes like 100ft behind me and i can see him comin quik, so i let him catch up and he starts gettin on the peddle and makin some noise so were already goin like 45-50 and i smash the peddle and so does he i get a truck length ahead of him right off the back and constantly pull on him like crazy! i was surprised! so this went on for like 3 more miles and we caught a red light so i turned on the 4x4 and blew his doors right off gaining like 2 truck lengths right off the back and constantly pull on him at this time i had a big @ss grin on my face what a rush this race was (my first real race where someone kept testing me)
so i get in the lane in front of him cuz my turn was comin up and pulled into my buddies apartments and noticed he was following me so i was like great these guys probably wanna talk smack and leave or fight or somethin so i park and he was like "whats up man what you got in that" i told him everything and he told me his was chipped thats it but then we just started bullshi**ing bout stuff and then he left good guy though.
but yup so his chipped 06 manual vs mine and what my sig says i was suprised my programmer was enought to beatem and other things but yea sorry guys for the long post lol
Nice kill man but i have no idea how you won that one unless he had zero clue how to drive a stick shift. My buddes 7.3 with a 140hp ts cant keep up and i have an old cummins. My buddies 07 cummins made 480hp with just a crappy programmer and he completely kills me. Just food for thought...
Sounds like a typical dodge owner making an excuse as to y they lose I have beaten at least 3 chipped dodges and one was my brothers with 'CRAZY LARRY' on his bully dog so save the excuses for someone who cares
yea he said he was missing his gears lol but i did race him about 6-7 times dang he must of been pretty dam bad then lol but this a true story so if noone believes i dont give but yea by him missin gears more than once lo hes gonna get beat:hehe:
a kills a kill even though its a lil hard for some to do a boosted launch in a manual that might be why you jumped ahead
still nice kill though
out of conversations sake, what tuner did he say he had?
i dont know much about what type of tuners/programmers dodges/cummins run but he said he had a stage 2 chip i didnt ask what that meant or was but i had no clue, we raced from a red light once, and like 4 40 mph rolls and i beat him every time and he did honestly admit he was missing gears, so apparently from what everyone is sayin that i would get waxed everytime from that dodge he had to be missin gears everytime we raced:dunno:
Jesus christ dude.... punctuation marks. Learn how to use them. That was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to read. It was like one looooooong sentence, either that--or I imagined you telling us the story talking really really REALLY fast! Haha!
Nice story though. Is it really smart to launch our trucks on concrete in 4x4 mode? Just asking... still learning.
I got ya... just curious. I didn't think that launching an 8k lbs truck in 4x4 mode was necessarily a good thing---but just wanted to check nontheless. So it appears that everyone on this site gets pretty stoked OR has major issues actually believing someone when they say they beat a Cummins...
Are the Dodge Cummins' really that fast? I mean... I've never heard anything about diesels at all until after I bought mine. I've always heard that Dodge has RETARDED transmissions that tend to explode all the time. Are their Diesels really that much faster than our Powerstrokes?
i will get bashed for saying this but yes a cummins is faster than a stroke...
the strokes react better to tunes but kinda die off with hard parts (turbos.. ect)
a cummins likes hard parts, they make the biggest difference.
for example Rudy's 6.4 was 350 hp stock after a tune it went to 520 somthing.
but with 150hp nozzles and stage 2 low pressure fuel and stage 1 high pressure fuel systems only made 607..
a cummins with just a smarty tuner will only make around 450hp but put 150hp injectors and do the same type fuel mods would easily be 600
now imagine if that cummins had twins like a 6.4...
You are joking right? I am a Cummins guy but you are mistaken. I would love to see a stock turbo cummins put down 600hp with 150hp tips, CP3 mod, and fuel pump. Sorry dude it aint happening. This is coming from a 6.7 guy:hehe:
i dont think its impossible i have a 6.0 with exhaust and sct but i had a bully dog when i raced a dodge it was a 04 with exhaust and spartan tuned..only prob is we were racing on the freeway and i never took my speed limiter off so we would race and i wouuld smoke him till 96mph then he would catch up and just walk away from me (obviously) his was an automatic though...and that dodge blew alotttt of smoke so im assuming he had it turned way up..o and my bully dog was on perfromance not extreme so i coulda been faster...but he asked me what i had done like i had some amazing truck and i said dude just exhaust and tuner..he was bummed i think he was expecting me to say " o a Cummins swap with a twin turbo" hahahahahhahaha anyways smokin dodges in my 6.0 is fun... and i raced 2 newer duramaxs and smoked both one with a chip and the other with chip and exhaust GOO FORDDDD
i raced a bully dog tuned 6.0 with an 85 hp hypertech and murdered him...
and ive never seen a spartan tuned dodge i dont think spartan makes tuners for them...
well thats what he told me...not claiming what he said is fact, just repeating what he told me...and thats why i changed to SCT just waiting on my custom tune .. truck goes in this week for ARP studs and egr delete!
well i dont want to tell you bad news but maybe he said superchip? or something else because a bullydog tuner cant touch a smarty tuner..
like i said before i had a hypertech that was only 85hp max setting and raced a 6.0 with a 120hp bullydog and it wasnt even close and my smarty will kill my hypertech
maybe the guy driving didnt know how to drive that Ford...anyways even if its true i would take my slow 6.0 over ur ugly Dodge anyday..and that right there is a Fact! why buy a crappy car with a crappy tranny with a crappy interior with a crappy Paint job for a good engine? :hehe: hahah i think ur on the wrong website bud
and all those things i said about Dodge are NOT opinion thats just some facts about what Dodge is known for... ya the 6.0 has its issues...but id rather drive my truck anyday then be caught driving that dodge around
ill be glad to tune my cummins to stock and you can run your tuner cranked... we will both get 14,000 lbs and race up a 8% grade ill get there 1st because i know how a 6.0 tows... they are better off not to
then we will go down the hill and see whos brakes get the hottest..
wow gettin a lil deffensive arent you? if i said something like that all the mods would be all over me, but lets have fun with it.. a 6.0 is a hunk of junk!! no question about it. dodges look better and are way ahead of ford in every aspect.. and as a matter of fact ive had zero issues from my tranny or my paint
so next time dont be so fast to speak about something you dont know anything about
While I might have to agree that a Ford driver started the argument... :hehe::hehe:
Please keep it civil and non combative from here on out. BTW, I like Cummins and Dmax trucks too. I just happen to drive a somewhat quick 6.0. I've beaten and lost to both of the other brands at the track.
