and pulled him by two cars from a 50-80 roll. Dude looked pretty buster, tried smoking me out in his 6" lifted 03-04 F-350 but my gasser doesn't need to spool and I left him smelling my new exhaust. I just find it amusing that a turbo diesel with almost the same displacement was so slow, he had a full a-pillar gauge setup and a 5" turbo back that was obnoxious as hell. My truck must be faster than I thought, maybe a 14.8 instead of 15.0 :roflsquared::roflsquared::roflsquared:

**** man... im jealous... i too just raced a truck the other day, but it was not as fun of an experience as you had...

Raced some dude in his little coloardo extreme with some (from what i could see) mod work done... I did beat him, but not by much AT ALL... consistantly pulled and the race stopped before i could shift into third (which happens between 80 and 90mph) but i was really hoping i would have stomped him into the ground, made me very upset and wanting a 6.0

All you'd need is a cam swap or a tighter converter, either will drop your ET a solid second with good tuning.

i'd like to see a thread with a list of suggested mods, by order of necessity, such as cam first, long tube headers next, etc, with as many mods as people can think of that would help beginners on their way to creating super tahoes

yea the cam swap along with maybe some LT's is what i think i will be doing in february of next year, along with a re-tune by Justin... I am still pretty dumb on cams and want to make sure i dont sacrifice the high end just to get the low end, i still want to be able to pass people on the freeway when im already doing 75


Just Get a blower


this would have been done yesterday if i could afford it, not to mention the tranny work and the big breaks i would want if i had that much more power.

yup...without a doubt. i can see a 6.0l denali taking my truck off the line, of course. but once the turbo spools up...not so much.

I wanna see a duramax, a cummins, and a powerstroke. All 05. Race each other. From a stop, and from 50 mph. All stock. I say 05 so they dont have the stoopid emmissions crap.

I raced a 03-04 f350 dually cc a few months ago he had full 5in turbo back exhaust tune and intake. I surprised him when i went pulling past :) i only had a intake and tb bypass at the time. I went to school with the guy so i knew what it had. About a month ago i ran a 01 eclb 4x4 cummins that was hevely modded and stayed right next to him! :)

All the 05 trucks have emissions. Duramax is always faster stock tho, then the dodge, then ford depending on which one's transmission decides to function. I've driven some pretty quick 6.0psds but they never run as well for long periods of time like the dmax or especially the cummins. I build all three trucks in various stages daily and can honestly say I like everything about the GM more, 13.5 1/4 with ONLY a tune is ******* crazy for a 6000lb truck. The powerstroke I raced was tuned and piped, I was just faster.

Something was definitely wrong with those trucks, they should have pulled you pretty well. I barely beat a lightly modded lifted diesel and I have 50-some hp over your truck while weighing significantly less.

Thats kinda what i thought too but it happend. I dunno the mods of the cummins other than staight exhaust intake and some sort of tuner he had tons of gauges too. Thing smoked like a freight train. I believe im only like 1000ft above sea level too...

definitely something wrong with both those trucks...no way a lightly modified 5.3l yukon xl would outrun either of thsoe trucks..or even keep up.
