Default 360 magnum vs

So i have been racing my truck alot over the oast 2 years. It has 240,000 miles on stock 360 and origional tranny. It runs a good 7.5 0-60 and i kick ***. Many people say 360s are dogs but if you got a good intake minifold gasket, and engine and tranny are sound, they will beat up on alot of trucks. this year alone iv beat
-1997 chevy 1500 350 4x4
-1987 chevy blazer 350
-1998 ford f 150 5.4 4x4
-2001 ford f 150 5.4 4x4
-2 jeep cherokees
-bunch of toyota 6 cylinders
-1999 chevy 1500 4x4 5.3, which many people say is impossible with my truck. What are trucks youv guys beating in your rams?

yea my buddy had a ford 350 he had a mud strip that was about 100 yards long he was talking a lot of **** got stuck half way threw. Needless to say I made it down back and down back again truck had about 2 in. of mud on it and left ft rivets in the strip. Had to keep it muddy for the next day at school to prove that dodge was better. Also a bad choice the office at my school called me down I had to give the full story of why my truck was covered in mud because it gave the school a bad image. lol

Yea I had overdrive off he had his on I was a door on him before he got on it but he was on the road and I was in some grass, was just pulling over to get on the road in front of him and heard and felt something hit the side of my truck so slowed and let him go, I ran over either a bottle or a piece of wood can still see the marks on my truck
A friend just picked up a 1997 ford with the 5.4 and I'm going to race him once he has it for a little while, got to redeem myself lost to his last car but it wasnt a fair race(gto with 6.0 manual and he can drive, it ran below 9's on an 1/8)
