What are my chances and the best way to run my stock L against a '01 Duramax diesel with a Banks 6 gun tuner with speed loader. (supposedly the latest and greatest thing for diesels.)
Thanks for responses.

 

As long as you get a good launch you'll take him. But those things are stout with the banks controler.

(pull your front sway bar for a little help at the line )

bump on this. How fast is a chipped duramax?

 

bet that diesel wont run with you above 100, watch him off the line especially with 4 wheel drive. :o

 

don't know how relevant it is but i've seen a powerstroke with banks tuning and a cat back run 13.9... so the diesel's are definitely capable of hanging with a stock L when properly modded. I tend to agree though that they wont hang after 100

 

Was that a 7.3L Powerstroke or the new 6.0L?

 

A 6.0 PSD Ford with appropriate tuning will lay down a mid 13 second ET and run up to 135mph with no problem.

 

it was the 6.0psd i believe.. it was last year though I only remember vague details

 

Mid 13's with just a tune? Impressive

 

Very impressive...are those one time only runs? Or are they reliably run daily...amazing to see such a big truck move so fast.

 

Not sure but a guy here in the DFW area has it on his HD diesel and put a catback on it as well and did over 400 hp and well over 600tq

 

Beware !!
what does he have hes not telling?

a 4x4, crewcab duramax that plays at Mid Michigan, not sure of all they did, but they tow a car&trailer get the car ready then start playing with the truck, he starts in the 13s and each run just gets faster, usually 12.teens by 3rd run,and has touched an 11

 

My 05 Cummins has the following

HTB2 Turbo
Stock exhaust
Intake
One TST Chip

Lays down 491RWHP 822 RWTQ

Should run a LOW 13 in 4wd...

A 01-03 DMax will run 12.5-13.0 w\ a TTS programmer ONLY!!!

WATCH OUT, A diesel can BEAT YOU!!!!

 

I find this hard to believe. What exactly is a TTS programmer?

 

My 05 6.0 van has run mid 14s with horrible 2.5 60fts. With a proper launch, it's a 13.90 truck easy. It's bone stock, just with a tune. No exhaust, no filter, nothing.

BTW, if anyone out there has an 04 Duramax, I have a nice performance package for sale for one. Predator, intake system, and full Bassani exhaust. Ordered it for a local customer who sold his truck before having the work done. E-mail me if interested.
