You will lose by several lengths. Just race him and post up about it.

I think you will smoke it. You should be mid 14's or lower since im running high 14's/low 15's with stock injectors. Mid 14's should take care of any stock hemi. I think people somehow get the impression hemi's are unbeatable? Just built about 8psi of boost in 4wd, and I think you wont have any problems. Just race and find out

Why not? 5 or 6 lbs wont hurt a thing, and will really help you out of the hole. YZou are gonna be pushing it if you cant get him out of the hole. Its hard to make up that much ground.

Thats cool. My cousin pitched for them a few years back. To the original poster post up the race. If you dont out launch him I dont think the race will even look close. A bone stock hemi regular cab truck will run a high/mid 14 and I just dont think you are in the mid 14s. Race the guy and post up. I am curious to know the outcome and I hope I eat my words.

Bone stock Hemi trucks in the lightest 2wd form available just barely run 15 flat some dip into the high 14s if they take everything that isn't bolted down out of the truck. Including the spare tire and tailgate. The Durango is a mid 15 at best vehicle. Shouldn't even be a race.

I looked up some actual test articles on the Hemi Durango's. 15.6 to 15.8 were the times recorded.

I have seen plenty of regular cab hemi 2wd trucks break the 14s at the track. Thats not what this is about. The original posters truck ran something like an 18 in the 1/4 stock. I dont think his mods puts him in the 14s. Like I said, race him and make me eat my words.

His mods are enough to make over 400hp depending on where the plate is at. His stock turbo and tire size is his only limitation. That's an easy 13 second pass depending on launch boost. You all must have some freak hemi trucks down your way. The majority of those things run 15.30s in pure stock trim at our track. With a few hitting 15 flat when the weather is decent. I've seen guys post 14 second times on the internet but I've never actually seen a bone stock untouched, non-lightened Ram run a 14 at our track. And I've seen 20 or 30 different hemi trucks run. Some of the quad cab 4X4s are only in the low 16s.

Your 100 plate is a 0 plate when the truck is on the floor. I can't see how a complete 0 would gain you anything. You might actually be stronger out of the hole with the 100.

I agree here, the 100 plate will help you keep a good bite. Make sure not to just flat foot it out of the hole. Do a boosted launch, roll to 3/4 throttle till you feel it shift to 2nd then nail it and let him eat a little smoke... Biggest thing will be the launch as said before. I can attest to that since my truck is a 2wd conditions have to be just right for me to even get off the derned line (my truck likes to sit at the light and run through all the gears )
