My truck will take one from a dead stop, 30mph roll, etc. by about a truck and a half right now. They are quick but not that quick.

Well from a dead stop a 4th Gen Ram would beat me by a truck and on a 30 mile roll it is pretty even to about 80mph. We didnt go faster than that.
My buddy just traded his Saturn ion Redline in for it. They are nice inside but that front end is funky looking.. And that bed is kinda small with that new ram box... Cool but i wouldnt use it.

A Silverado never smoked me>>> I said that i was playing around with a Black Silverado SS and from stop light to stop light about a block and then that was that. I found out he works with me but he doesnt want to race he thinks i will beat him.

And i also had another thread about a 03 Sierra that i smoked and then my truck was giving me some problems and raced him again and he kept up a lilttle bit.

My transmissions have always been behind my engines

Sorry, couldn't resist.

No you should be able to take your brothers truck with what you have no problem. Even if he has a SC, Cai and exhaust. Off the line and from any roll

I love my truck, and maybe some of you won't like this but I want to trade up my truck for an 09' or 2010. They're sweet.
