It was an 06 1500 reg cab shortbed 4.7, raced him first from a light, I held it at about 1900 rpm and he held 1200 rpm, when the light went I spun like crazy but got a jump on him and put my tailgate at about where his front bumper was and stayed there. Next we did it from a 30mph roll, we both layed on it and I left him bad, almost as bad as when I race my buddy in his quad cab 06 cummins. lol. the 1500 and my truck are both basicly stock execpt exaust.

 

just look at the weight difference, your a light lighter with the 4x2 by about 400 lbs. and as far as racing a ctd. that must have been a wash out. these little trucks go, if you know how to tweak them correctly. and i just got my new mod from ups this friday. all i can say is it has 3 letters and they are abbreviated for something

 

STS?

Turbo?!

 

RKM? (Ricer Killing Machine)
Nah... much be one of them Throttle Body Spacers... lol.

 

It's a new throttle body. I'm pretty sure i saw one of his threads saying he was ordering one.

 

N O S

 

I never understood why dodge puts the 4.7L in the Rams. They do carry about 15 more hp than ours, but, the truck, IMO is still too heavy for it.

 

For many people the 4.7 will do everything they need, and save them over $1000 at the initial purchase. Not everyone needs or even wants the highest performance engine available.

 

I owned 2 GMCs full size,regular cab,long wheel base,4.3 V6sdid delivery work in both carried up to around 2,000 pounds in back a few times driving hundreds of miles on occasion,the motor pulled no problems,now if Ipulled a nice size trailer around often for long distances I would want a V8 minimum.
