Snowflake Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Got pulled hard by 2500 Dodge Ram yesterday top end. I was surprised and talked with the guy who said he had a lot of money in it. I have a huge respect for this big fucking truck now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Newer Ram. The guy said he was on his second turbo but it was stock. He said its never been tracked or dynoed. When he first started fucking with me I was like lemme show this fucker whats up. I would have never guessed on a run up to like 110 he would be pulling. They got some crazy fast trucks over in Mexico these days. I seen your truck in person the other day Tyler and it looks pretty fucking nice. Please make it fast like the one i saw last night.

Please make it fast like the one i saw last night. that guy lied if he said it was stock...theyre not that fast stock, not even close...maybe the turbo on it was upgraded, i know a lot of powerstroke guys are running 12s with exhaust, tune, intake, and a 38r turbo conversion....he had to of had more done and thanks man, eventually ill make it fast, but for now im just fixing everything up and using it as a driver...eventually its in the plans to make it fast though...whered you see me at?

BloodRed Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 As simple as a new exhaust and a tune can do wonders for the Cummins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 What were you in ? I was in my TA that put down 358/358. The guy said the turbo was stock. He said he had a lot of money in go fast parts just a stock turbo. He did say that he was pushing 45lbs of boost???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Blue? Skinny redneck named Brad? Gold. I told the guy about CR and he acted interested. He did say that he called Dynotune to get it dynoed/tuned and someone told him that the landlord didnt like all the black smoke so they wouldnt do it which I thought sounded kinda wierd. I got nothing but all good vibes when I was there getting my tune so I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 shoulda told him to call pickups plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 shoulda told him to call pickups plus I told him there are several sponsers on here that could get him took care of. Let me just say that I never thought that truck would have kept up much less pull me. I have been humbled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 what color was it? ive had alot of diesel guys try to race me lately to. if you think that dodge was bad, you should have seen the chevy running at trails last night. Dr's on all 4 wheels running 10's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hmmm...dunno. I know my buddy Brad had a 95 at one point, Anthony and some older members probably remember it, that had a semi turbo and a mistu 25g, scarab raceboat pistons, school bus tranny, etc. etc. Sold that and bought a new one and told me he was "keeping it stock" which he can never seem to do. THat's why I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr's on all 4 wheels running 10's. I saw you guys leaving for the track yesterday. I though about following your pops out to the main road and try and instigate a run but I figured he would tell me to take it to the track. The guy from last night said he has run a 1/4 on a road that was marked and he thinks hes trapping around 120. I told him to take it to the track and find out. Either way he was pulling me and Im hoping for a 110 trap. My F150 needs a new engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 this too....my truck has a DIY intake and a muffler delete and it never blows any soot or smoke or anything at all, even wide open going up a hill FYI, the black smoke isn't a good thing (usually running rich). So the aura around the "smoke" from a diesel is just that. As fun as it maybe, I wouldn't shoot for this in any diesel. And yes, you would be amazed at the power increases out of all Big 3 Diesels. -Turbo Back -Programmer/Chip/Tune -CAI It wasn't uncommon to see these trucks pick up over 200ft lbs or torque to the rear wheels, and over 100RWHP aswell.

Guest tbutera2112 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 hey scotty....how much can those cummins push through the stock turbos safely? (before the turbo gives, not the engine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dont fuck with big turbo diesels. A tune and CAI goes a long way on a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 hey scotty....how much can those cummins push through the stock turbos safely? (before the turbo gives, not the engine) I wouldn't be horribly worried about the turbo as much as the transmissions. But I think the 24V Cummins trucks can make upward of 500-600RWHP range and I'd say atleast 800+RWTQ. Been a minute since I've seen some #'s out of a Cummins truck, but even with a stock turbo, there's a lot he could've done. All the more reason, turbo diesels are the way of the future.

Snowflake Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 The guy I ran into had some sort of programmer that was set at the highest performance setting? He said he had 3.73 gears as well. I need to go find a stock mustang to kick around so I can feel better about my car again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 eh, i think if you caught him while he was in his car he would do it. he tried to fuck with me the whole way home last week lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockingly enough, most diesel customers don't feel the need for anymore power, it's more about fuel economy than anything. On many occassions I have heard upwards of 20MPG on the highway from all the Big 3 Diesel Trucks. Power = Economy when you're playing with a truck weighing in at over 8,000lbs.
