You guys do realise that 16's are not fast, don't you?

 

For a N/A non PI 4.6 running on 35s.. thats booking it. Dont worry though.. sure its faster now

 

I have beaten several cummins ranging from completely stock to slightly modified, the big question is, is it auto or stick? The manual trans on them take forever to shift, and you will stand a much better chance if it is a manual, just make sure you race him from a dig and not from a roll, because they have such low gearing that it takes them a few seconds to get into a high enough gear to really make some speed.

 

not everyone has the benefit of that beautiful sounding piece of equipment sitting on the top of your motor.

 

No way will you beat him. I think you could always find a faster cummins than an f150. No matter what the f150 has done to it, there will be a cummins faster.

 

Tell that to some of the lightning guys.

yeah this is a kids 98 5.9 cummins im tlaking about. banks exhaust, new fuel pump, and wastegate he said

 

if hes stock (tuner wise) i think you would stand a chance.

then it depends on if he does a boosted launch or not. the ones ive drivin are slow as crap till they build boost

 

Last I heard, Joey still had the F-150. He also built himself a 1996ish reg cab short bed F-350 7.3 that was pretty sweet, but then I saw it on Craigslist a month or two ago...

And a stockish 1998 Cummins is going to be slow.

 

yeah he doesnt have a tuner yet. and its a 99 not 98, but i dont believe theres much difference. ok this is what he told me it has, banks exhaust, wastegate, torque converter, raptor fuel pump and half in lines, and a mag-hytec diff cover

 

id run him then.

 

think so?

 

Yeah I think you'd take him...the truck only made about 215 hp/ 440 tq in stock form; in a 3/4 ton truck, that's not much to get it moving. Not compared to later-model cummins, at least.

 

One of my co-workers left his 5.9 idling in the parking lot. so i jumped in and jacked it. the downloaded was off it at the time. I put the pedal to the floor and im not kidding.. he was able to run me down on foot. it had SOOOO much turbo lag it was not even funny.
