More specs on your truck. And unless it was stock or didnt really race I highly doubt it.

Your truck is lifted and large tires. The truck had to be stock other wise you would in no way beat him. With a simple exhaust and tuner he could easily take you out.

Is your roushcharger intercooled?

cummins are way detuned from the factory but once you put a programmer on them they wake up and there is no way you could have kept up. My room mate has an 07 3500 dually with a 5.9 and he is running a straight and edge chip and bully dog programmer. We raced an 04 z06 and spanked it. They're freakin fast no doubt

I raced a Cummins once. I felt real bad when they pulled past my empty truck with that 20' car hauler. I could have beat him if he gave me a 30' head start and the Cummins was still pulling the 20' trailer with a tractor. I think. Well maybe a 40' head start.......

lol. And Jwool, you have to be kidding, a z06? Can anyone verify this is possible with just a tune and straights?

i can't verify with a z06, but like i said in an earlier post the guy i talked to said his 01 dually tuned w/ exhaust would beat his wifes 02 corvette easily. im sure with a few more mods a z06 could be smoked, remember that year z06 didnt have over 500 hp like the new z06s

My friend had an 05 Quad Cab Cummins with a Superchips tuner and straight pipe in place of the muffler. Although a quick truck indeed, there is no way it would be possible to beat a Z06 that was actually racing.

We never really raced, although one time (when we were both completly stock) I turned behind him as he turned from the other direction and we both punched it, probably from a 30ish MPH roll up to 70 or so, Im really not sure, but I was staying right on his bumper.

I did actually line up from a dig when his brother was driving it (mods in my sig and tuner/straight on the C) and blew the doors off it....the Dodge was stickin in 1st gear though
If it wasnt for that, that truck would fully blow my doors off.
