Default Truck Pull?

I just got an 07 Ram 1500 4x4 quadcabwith a HEMI a cpl of weeks ago and already several of my friends with opposing brands want to hook up. My truck has the HEMI with 3.92 Axles but it's still got the stock Goodyear tires on it. My friend has a 01 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Z71 with the ole 5.3 and BFG AT's and another has a 04 F-150 Super Crew FX4 with the Triton and Pirelli Scorpions. I know I got the better truck but can I still pull em with my stock tires???

Stock tires are bad for that kind of play and besides, you might be surprised by your friends. A stock Hemi engine has them killed in upper end HP, but for what the Hemi has in HP it lacks in low end torque.
Although they make mods to fix that...

you mean bumper to bumper and see who pulls?
thats such a dumb thing, first off, all you do is ride the brake, wait for the guys tires to spin then a ford ranger could pull it. secondly you can snap your drive shaft, esp if youre the genius that thinks to put it in 4x4 so you get more traction, say goodbye to your front shaft..

Yea, not a good thing to do. But it is fun to watch others rip up their trucks, so if you do it take a video.

thats why you should have put those new A/Ts on the viper "to the right" and you could have torn it them up.
