I am hearing from other people some guy around town is building a 12 valve dont know what year. with 200hp injectors twin turbos, assuming he knows optimal turbo set up. my truck should make around 550to 585 rwhp.do any of you guys think i have a chance or will i get mashed.

 

dnt hold it to me but i would say you have a chance. is his truck going to be able to put the power on the ground?

 

Do you know if it's a stick or a auto, is it 2wd or 4wd? A 3/4 or 1 ton?

I guess the only way to find out is to give it a run. let us know how it goes.

 

If both are manual, you'll have to fight for the win!

 

You always have a chance
good luck

 

dont know i have never seen the truck its in the build now

 

200 hp injectors for a 12v is not the same as 200hp injectors for a common rail... you would have to compare the flow rates among other things.

A 12v going into a light 1st gen truck is your bigger issue. A 450hp 12v (he'll likely have more, I am sure) in a 5700lb truck will be faster than a 600hp (more than you have now) CR in a 8000 lb truck for sure.

Bottom line is, you have not won, nor lost, until you actually have won or lost...

 

not sure about him but i have a stick. if he has a auto ill ask for a three truck spot or a rolling start. i still think i could get him heads up with a good light and no missed shift.i got to run this guy, yep he is still mad his 07 couldt get it done

 

I think its going in a 96 2500.If I get drug it cant be by this guy. just let me know what will be the most bang for the buck. with out changing the turbo, if i have to up grade it I will. and ill have it in the truck.please dont say cp3 $$$

 

The 12 valve can have an edge, its fueling system can be tinkered with alot easier, and things like rpms and timing can be altered pretty quickly. If you have a 12 valve turning 4k rpms with 450hp or more you are looking at a close race. But honestly too many factors can make or break the race. Heel and toe brother.
