Based off of reputation Id say go cummins. But time will tell best. Right now ford is making noise about how the 6.4's TT exhaust uses regeneration to burn the excess soot. And thus they say a straight pipe is a big no no and apparently they will void warrenty for doing it. I know of only 1 '08 with a straight pipe....and it should be interesting if there is an engine hour timer that will trip regeneration.
And let me change my intial post, it takes less than 1k to get a stock powerstroke to run high 13s to low 14s.

Woot, interesting on the ford straight pipe. Hell, it was recalled or postponed once for possible fire, lol.
I like the dodge for the cab room in the mega ram. Tough choice. Dodge is the way to go for more power. But honestly, they all do well.
And I agree too, less than a grand for 13s-14s. And a single larger turbo swap or a set of twins and your in the deep 12s easily and sometimes 11s.

I"m talking bout the guy with a stock 94 whatever with rust holes acting like they have a chance.
So dont get yourself all up set ok Torque Wrench

This isnt a truck hating thread,its about jerkoffs who try to stomp their beaters.
Truck guys want a little taste??Heres my good friends GMC.
It has a 79 vette motor(built,cam,heads,tuned)
700r4 trans(newly rebuilt,hes having some bugs worked out of it still)
Its a fast truck.Ill be posting a vid of him racing me when he gets the trans sorted out,Just to show how fast his truck is.
Trucks dont suck,people do.

some trucks are pretty quick.. I got a few kids attention late one night when they were running on a "trafficless" hwy.. one was in a 04' mustGT, 99 T/A and a cobaltSS with every possible mod.. so much so that they went to my friend's shop after the "fooling around" to find out what I had done and what it runs lol...
PS now they are modded by him causing me to spend more $$$ to keep ahead
..like a viscous cycle isn't it??

I"m not saying there arent fast trucks out there that should be tryin us but i'm talkin bout the guy with no buisness even thinking about beating us.Even after I run on them at the light sure enough.....we hit the next light and the guys tryin again and reving. Do you guys ever get this crap too???
That's why I should never sell my car, cuz then I'll be one of these people trying to find out what you have under the hood. Is it stock, is it cammed, does it even have an exhaust.
