I do not believe the 8.4. A stock Ford Lightning runs low 9's. So, this seems a little ridiculous to me.

Yes I do speak english.

Your JET chip and your other basic BOLT ons aren't giving you 410 HP if thats what your name means.You are running still 345hp maybe 351hp.Don't believe the sale gimmicks.If you dont have engine work like cam or PNP don't be expecting a win.It will take you thousands of dollars to make 100hp that a Diesel can make with 600 bux.Your truck with your mods probably runs a low 14 or high 13 in a quarter mile which is nothing compared to a chipped Diesel.Even if he is lifted the CHIP will make up for the powerloss and then some.You don't need an aftermarket turbo to crush a hemi or lightning,the stock one will do just fine.

oK, THEN WHAT WILL THE DURAMAX RUN IN THE 1/8 MILE?

A diesel runs faster at top-end, but not as fast in the 1/8.

You are a cummins man, you should know.

Yeah, you are right. My $350 chip gave me 6 hp.....lmao.

they are all right 410. diesel trucks are the up and coming monsters of speed. no longer is it the big v8's that run the house. diesel trucks are becoming serious monsters just from the factory. then you put a few hundred bux worth of mods and you've got urself a hellishly fast vehicle.

WHERES TRITON WHEN YOU NEED HIM LOL

o and 50 lbs of boost doesn't mean anything man. I can flow 5 cfm of air at 50000000 psi. just push it through a really tiny *** tube. lots of high end diesel truck don't run ridonculous high boost. they run moderate boost levels but they flow massive quantities of air. that's what makes the power the quantity of air not the psi.
