Unless its a first year 6.4, in that case it would prolly blow the motor before it got to the end of the track. We had 3 of them and they all went through multiple motors before 50k. Cab bolts never seized up that way tho! Those 7.3's were tough but pretty guttless from the factory. And a 6.0 is only half good after egr delete, injectors often, head studs, and a aftermarket turbo lol. Get this on video!

Not true my truck was a 08 with Spartan tuner,dpf delete and egr delete. These trucks can take a 310 hp tune but any more you would need to upgrade the tranny. They can stomp most bolt on mustangs and new camaros two in boosted 4wd of course. Most 6.4s need a new hpfp to run the higher tunes since the the factory one was junk. But the 99 powerstroke was the year to have since they came with forged rods.

Good luck with the race OP. If I were you I'd take what people say with a grain of salt, especially if they really don't know a damn thing about your challenger's truck. I guess a lot of guys think a bolt on f-body is really fast in their book. Lol. As for the diesel truck, around my parts, 9 out of 10 diesel trucks that think their fast are just loud slow *** smoke-blowing turds. But its also not anything surprising to see a low 12 or an 11 sec diesel at the nearby 1/4 mile track which would make a bolt on f-body look like a Prius in the 1/8th. We here really don't have a clue if that diesel is hiding anything or not. I'd be very concerned about that $500 bet from a guy with a mustang like that.

If he has an aftermarket turbo then he should making power similar to the newer tuned diesels, if not more depending on what injectors hes running. What's holding him back is the 2wd, there's a chance he won't be able to come out of the hole hard enough to hold you off. But if for some reason he is dead hooking launching with some boost make sure your on your A Game. Best of luck!
with 2wd and good power, it won't hook well with a boosted launch. that and it's HEAVY!
don't bet, go race and have some fun. be safe
I know what it's like to get a heavy truck going. I've beaten my fair share of m3's, mustangs, and toss in one testarossa as well. I also have my share of losses. never know what mods people have done until you run what you brung

I've only seen one break into the high 7's in the 1/8 at countyline here in Miami. Most modded ones run in the mid to high 8's and these are rare to see. I think you should be good.
