98' 140k C5 with a vararam/LT/NT05r's the car has no tune.

99' 7.3 F250 somewhere in the 530-560hp range. Right around 1000ftlb torque.

I clearly got the jump on this one but to be fair I was leaving at only 8lb's when I usually leave on 15-20lbs. My truck runs a high 12 average. And yes those are 35" mud tires

Damn, that is one badass F-250. A bunch of kids drive diesels around here always black smoking everyone. My truck as it sits now doesn't give them a run for **** but when it used to be boosted, I loved racing all the diesels haha. Badass truck man, not to mention you're doing that on 35s!

Can you give us a list of all your mods on the 7.3? Bad *** truck sir. Nothing like a big truck that can haul the family, haul or tow anything you want it to, get your *** around in all weather, but most importantly, haul *** and hurt some feelings.

Very nice. Post up some pics of the truck. Been thinking about selling the WS6 for a nice LBZ Duramax.

Yeah, I hear you. Crew cab to haul the family around in, the ability to haul **** when I need to, having a vehicle I can drive during the winter, having something I can still mod and work on, and not to mention the ability to make killer power and still be able to get my HP fix. Would just hate to have to give up the WS6, but I can't have both. Decisions decisions.

There is no comparing or joining the two. Your going to have to find a way to swing both.. at least that's what I keep telling my self. I will say I'm am pretty excited about towing the Datsun with the F250 and running both down the track

I wish I could. WS6 has been paid off for a long time, so the cash I could sell it for would be put toward the truck, which the ones I'm intersted in are all around $28,000 to 34,000. I want lower miles, nice lift with wheel/tire package, straight pipe exhaust, efi live, etc. Yeah, I can get one and do all that to it, but it would end up costing me more. If I was rich, I'd have both. My side business has been busy, but not making enough to swing both.

My vote is you keep the car. The truck is fun but its no sports car. My .02
