Gonna have to call on this one, either he wasn't gettin on it or it's real bad sick. A 7.3 powerstroke with just a banks 6gun ain't gonna cut it.

Nice details. Nice story. Good for you. A guess a high 15/low 16 early 80's Z28 must be a nice notch on the old belt.

its okay... a buddy outran a 03 cobra in his hemi ram to 45 mph lol from a dead stop..

so he the z28 prolly spun his *** off and he prolly jumped out on him, it is possible..

in that case though it should outrun his gt/saleen

I believe it. With that setup he has/power he's making, he should be running easy low 13's at 105-110.

I'm pretty sure he's talkin about at the crank, it would take a lot more than a banks 6gun to but that at the wheels, especially with the kinda drivetrain loss he's lookin at.

It's a box you plug into the pcm and it gives it more fuel, adding like 120-150hp at the crank.

It would take way more mods to make 530/850 at the rear other than the Banks 6 gun. Or the guy in the Z28 spun like crazy, but with only the Banks programmer it would still be a mid to high 14 second truck at the most. I know, I have ridden in a Bulley Dog chipped 7.3 diesal and I sill wasnt impressed about it.

I had a 04 6.0L Powerstroke with the Edge Juice and Attitude monitor and I could leave a stock LS1 in a cloud of black smoke until I governed out at 98mph.As far as the Banks **** gun putting down those kind of numbers I have to call bull **** also.I put down 445 H.P. and 830 TQ to the wheels With the Juice And every Banks I saw never came close.Later.

Just Bought The Truck It Is 27 Days Old Now Put The Chip In It At 2000 Miles The Numbers I Am Just Going Off Of What It Says On The Box. I Know That The Camaro Was A 98-99 Stock Z28 Auto. We Kicked It From A 30mph Kick Down. Shut It Down At 95mph. I Had Him By 2-3 Truck Lenghts. I Had A Camaro They Are Quick I Know That, I Bought The Mustang For A More Dependable Car. I Plan On Building A Camaro Or A Ta In The Future For The Strip Only. I Am Friends With Mike Brown And Steve Turley. I Am Going To Have Them Play With A Motor Setup For The Race Car. I GOT AN AWESOME DEAL ON THE MUSTANG AND IT LOOKS BAD ***.

actually that engine is the new 6.0 powerstroke which btw is a monster stock. My buddy has a bov, exhaust, diablo and some other chip piggybacked on each other and he can outrun new v8 camaros(ls1). He even has an 8 inch lift and 38" boggers. And he also dynoed somewhere close to 500hp and 900+trq. It was amazing when he dynoed it, even though he coated everything in the shop with black smoke.

well, i had a 6 speed 7.3 liter powerstroke. Upgraded fuel system, larger Holset/Garret Turbo. Custom burned chip, High Ram Upper intake, new upper intake piping, larger downpipe, 4.5" exhaust, New larger Intercooler from Houston Performance Diesel... They also did the tuning. yada yada yada


basically watching a diesel put 1,XXX lb ft of torque down is ******* awesome and blowing cars away with the 6 speed in the truck was some of the best times ever...



but now that truck is sold, and an 05 supercrew resides in it's spot. an 05 powerstroke King ranch will be moving in though

B.S. A buddy of mine has an 04 powerstroke with 6 gun, larger intercooler, 4 inch exhaust and tq converter. My truck puts 320 hp and 350 tq to the ground. I walk all over him.
