look at my sig. i know its a dually and very heavy but common!!!

i was driving the other day and a newer 4 door hemi dodge ram 1500 started taunting me. i put edge juice in lvl 5 and hit it. he hit it too and started pulling on me!!! what the heck. i barely pulled away from a newer chevy avalanche the other day too. could this be?

 

do the performance test (0-60mp) and see what your # are. once I accedently set my boost to 0, and I never noticed till I tried to keep up with a stock dodge and I could not,
go thru all your setting on the Juice and make sure nothings set wrong.

also pull up the backdown screen, if you see any number greater than 0, the edge is backing down the power,
Or something else is wrong with your truck...


or the 1500doge is just plain faster

 

have not done the 0-60 yet but i do no i do not have any backdown percentage as i run that screen a lot. fars as turbo goes i do not have any alerts turned on and i have the turbo boost gauge up all the time. i get around 32-33 psi on lvl 5 floored.

 

I have one of those 340 horse Hemi's in my wife's car, they are surprisingly stout motors and will get up and boogie.

 

that makes me feel a little better. LOL but i should be over 340 HP and should be pushing over 800 torq. so still not quite convinced. think there might ber somethin going on with mu truck. there is a weird half second delay when first hitting go pedal and then it comes to life. never had that problem before until i removed broken edge ez and replaced with juice. and there is a weird lurch when startin from a start. almost feels like universal joints or something.

 

You might be just over the 300 rwhp range, if all you have is whats listed in your sig. 345hp hemi would be in the same rwhp range, but with 2k lbs. less. And possibly shorter gearing, which would give them a bit more jam.

 

Ya you don't have the HP that's advertised on the programmer.
Put it on a dyno and find out what it really is.
And our trucks only weigh 7300#'s + or - a few. A 3rd gen 2500 weighs more than our trucks.

 

i have seen your set up dynoed and it made 330-340. an i know those 2010 hemis are nasty! had one messin wit me the other night an i just blew smoke all over him while he was stuck behind me, but i just let him go at the stop light cause i knew i didnt have a chance outta the hole. id try him at a 40 mph roll.

 

Sure its not a delay in building boost?

Get under the truck and check all your u-joints for play.

 

yep my wifes hemi magnum is a thirsty gulping beast. but I will out pull a hill on a 1500. on a light I suck because of the creep crawl 6 speed. see who does better with pulling 5k, up a hill. not the hemi, 1500 or 2500

 

Yea thats what Im sayin, a new 2500 weighs more then us, but not the 1500's.
And the stock hp fom our truck to a band new one is a big jump so its harde for us to keep up anyway.
BUT, like said, hook some weight to the tongue and see who can pull it right.

 

In addition to the truck in my sig below I have a company truck (1500) with the Hemi as my daily driver and it will git up and go, I have left a few cars and trucks (including a couple of Cummins that were not happy)in my mirrors, Fun little motor! I hope that the Cummins Fans here on the DTR dont ban me for my actions of beating one of our own accross the intersection!

 

One more for the hemis being nasty, my parents have one that use to get 13mpg so I chipped it for them and put a k&n in it and it's a lttle more nasty now. I drive it every now and then and it has enought power to beat a lightly modded cummins anyday of the week.

 

Lighter truck, big engine and new tight transmission are likely the reason. I think that a tight transmission would make a big difference even considering that your truck is a lot heavier.
Same would apply to any newer passenger car - Honda, Acura, BMW. Floored aggressively, near any one of them would leave a truck behind for the first 100 yards or so. Except perhaps for this truck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUlVK-ihE_8

 

From a 3rd gear romp, I can eat up Hemi's all day.

Won't get them from a standstill though.
