Hemi talking trash

Got a guy with a hemi talking trash saying his 07 stock hemi 1500 larmie ram would whoop on my 06 5.4 lariat. His truck is stock as far as i know. My truck is stock except for the gryphon and the gotts intake. Think i can take him with the 93 perf tune? I hear hemi's are pretty tough. Anyone have any input?

Your tune will help, but I imagine the hemi will still outrun you...they're pretty quick. But then again, not as quick as they're hyped up to be.

You should each put about 1000 lbs. of payload in the bed and\or hook up to a trailer and see who can pull away. That's the only way you will have a chance. Couple of my buddies have Hemi's and they are quick.

when you say exhaust, make sure it is a full exhaust and not just the si/do setup...headers, custom mid-pipe, and dual pipe setup
