So, past 120 with a basically stock Ram? Beating a 2002 Mustang GT until 110-120? Was a girl driving that car lol? Your Stock Ram isn't running 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. If you beat them it must be because of the Throttle body spacer .

If you ignore the whole adapter/credibility thing for a moment... there is no way you came even close to that 6.0 unless it was running like crap. The 6.0 (and now I think its 6.2) V8s in the Chevy/GMC trucks are pretty damn fast.

I have the same thing basically minus the headers and spacer and plus .7 liters and I watch GTs walk away from me most of the time, and I have raced a 6.0 and the only way you beat him is because his truck topped out somewhere around 105 and you kept going to 120

IT IS OFF THE CHARTS!!!

Next he will be saying that he beat a Grand National. I "raced" one (was a buddy) with my 5.2. I had him off the line for about .5 seconds (in 4x4) then he blew my doors off.

ha yeah that throttle body spacer gave me like....0.07 horsepower I thought those 6.0's were beasty too...I had him by a length for a half mile straight, no gain and no loss...he doesn't really like me, and I know he was flooring it, plus I was running true dual straight pipes that were dumped under the cab...he hasn't liked me since He actually traded it for a 2000 or 2001 Cummins with 830 torque....I am not really sure I wanna try that yet!!!

830m torque will not get him down the road faster. But it will get him up a hill faster than you.

You will only lose to him if you are both racing with 2 tons of gravel in the bed.
