Buddy says he can take me w/Duramax and PPE

What to do next?
Check out signature.
Not happy with the Bully Dog.
Getting bored again.
Buddy say's he can whip me in his Duramax with PPE and tranny upgrades.

I would say yes, but you never know. The tranny will probably slow you down some. I would say ditch the Bully Dog and get a Smarty, Injectors, Turbo.

He hasn't upgraded the fuel system yet, so I figure that will limit him a tad. Did a boosted 3rd gear launch beside a mustang. Side by side til I missed the 5th gear.

Dont put any money on that race. If he has the PPE hot, they are pretty nasty. Fuel system upgrades are not as critical on a D-max as our trucks.

Are you the 'Pro Mod' Bounty Hunter that runs at Red Line sometimes? Leave hard on him and dont miss a gear and it will be a good race, prob. close though. Ryan

well a handshaker againist a manual isnt really fair. he will probably eat your lunch. a duramax with just a downloader can make 500rwhp and maybe more, but they are still an IFS front end truck is the way i look at it

Will he let you do a roll-on race? You should stand a pretty good chance then. Some of the toughest racing I have done with my 6 speed has been against my good friend with a 01 D-Max. He can 8 times out of 10 get the hole shot on me but around the 1/8 I pull on him very hard. Its hard to outshift an auto and even harder with that double disker you got. Get the ball in your court and do a 40 MPH roll-on.

If all else fails, get the tow strap and drag him backwards through a field to prove your Cummins superiority.
