I have a friend who just got his first diesel, an lbz 4door duramax. Now it turns out he is out to be faster and stronger than my truck. He just bought a ppe hot and is getting his intake and exhaust. My question is do yall think his truck turned up with ppe can take me? I would say no he cant right off hand but my poor tranny is not in the best shape. It holds well enough to burn my 33's down though. so let me know what ya think

Btw: its funny cause he is talking my truck down and all but im his mechanic for whatever he plans on doing to his. so he better not beat me to bad lol

 

The Dura's can be quick... They seem to have the ablilty to make less hp on a dyno, but still make equal or better times in the 1/4 mile. V8's wind up fast.

 

Yeah, d-max's are fast... A dude with a different compressor wheel, a EFI live custom tune, and the seats took out ran a 12.3. Truck might have had a fuel pump and a CAI, but that was it.

 

yea im worried about the quarter race down the road, for now i dnt think he can get me with just the ppe hot

 

Im guessing he has a 3/4 ton? I honestly don't think your going to beat him if he runs the PPE turned up. Those dirtys are light, they rev high and they are super responsive.

Good luck though.

 

its gonna be close but i think he might have ya expecially if you dont any tranny work for you hp upgrades.imo.. race him and tell us what happens...i hope ya win..

 

If the D wins, challenge him to a race with both of you hooked up to about an 8k+lbs trailer, you will wipe the smile off his face.

 

the dmax will win hands down not even an issue. its sad but true

 

Those dmax's are fast with the PPE turned up. He will have super high EGT's with the PPE also. But those motors spin high rpm and in a drag race, thats what you want and he is lighter also. Run it and see what happens.

 

He will probably get you, but there is alway's the question of holding the power......who's trans will slip?

 

challenge him to a tug-o-war... and have a bushel basket ready to help him pick up his front CV axles!

 

x2.

 

well guys my heart is honestly broke after all these responses. i guess i will have to make it a 100% drag truck in order to win

 

Yea it's a tough pill to swallow but it's just the way it is. Only one thing can fix your broken heart, money. Empty out your wallet and pour it in your truck.

 

WHOA, Hold on a minute, Then let's make it a 15/16k load, and over 1/2 the state of Montana. That D-max will melt!!!! PPE on hot, give me a break.

carte89, the dura may beat you in town, but it will never out work a Cummins.period period period period period period......
