And I might bring my brother but thats a second gen. If I can get him to stop thinking about that damngirl for long enough to do some cool truck stuff. If I could get him to spend money on his truck instead of his girl we could make it badass, but every penny he gets he spends it on her

Hey guys, I have a little topic of discussion you might know something about. I would like to know who is considered the fastest diesel (any mfg.) in Stephenville. The best run Ive seen so far was a white Dmax with stacks and BlueandSilver02. The Dmax said he had an ATS tranny, and EFI live on a stock charger....not sure if thats all or not but it runs great. I had heard he was the fastest but I was ridin shotgun in a 02 Dodge with a 64/14 turbo, 200hp sticks, Edge Comp, and an OFE clutch. We got three runs from a roll and the Dmax took two of them. He was killing us on take off due to the lag of the big turbo but once we spooled we reeled him in hard til another shift....Not making excuses but a little N2O would have cured that problem. Id like to hear what else we have running around here......Im putting a new combo together and dont want to bring a knife to a gunfight

Ya that white dmax is really fast. Charlies blue dodge is pretty quick too. He as 150 sticks, a bigger turbo(not sure what) a smarty, tst, and tq converter, at least thats all he had when I left at the end of the sem. He told me he was about to do a new tranny. His is lowered too, which is gay compared to the way it used to sit, but i bet its faster because of it. Theres a black 3rd gen with stacks thats pretty quick too. Runs right with charlies blue one, but I have no idea what he has done other than smarty. Gas wise though, that black srt10 hemi is real quick. I've ridden shotgun in about ten races and he hasn't even come close to losing yet. Hes got a cam and all kinda other goodies, and knows what hes doin cause his family runs hotrod drag boats,and cars

I would bet the farm I own the quickest pump gas truck in the area....course it is broke down too . I spent three years on an S-10 that has a 410cid turbo gasser. I am running Dart Pro 1 220's, Custom EFI, and a 76mm garrett turbo. Only time I had it on the track it ran 7.20 at 98mph in the 1/8th, but it did that with two blown head gaskets and the timing slipped 10 degrees back. My goal was single digits on pump gas, but I got tired of spending money before I got all the bugs worked out. Then I got a pulling tractor and the red truck....S-10 is next on the list to get back going.

I can assure you, mine is too heavy to be fast. But 60hp overcomes the weight and slow shifts enough to keep up with a stock LLY Duramax.
