Someone suggested flashing it at launch, but it was as we were leaving. I was happy with what we got. So close to a sub 2 second 60' and 100mph run, but the 13.7 was good enough.

The magazines have under speced the Ram once again. A non-RT RCSB can run 14 flat so its quite expected your R/T could beat that time. Outstanding times and thanks for sharing with us. Man, with some basic Mods you should break mid 13's. There are going to be a lot of cars that will be shocked when they tangle with you from a light

Kinda funny to see with all the technology and the large motor only getting 13.75 I just remember back in the day where my dad's fanily car dart could probably do that no problem if you could get it to hook up.
But that is a nice run....I know you have the smell and taste for more I bet we see a bunch of mods and then another run?????

The technology giveth and it taketh away. Safety tech isn't light and torque management robs a tone from these trucks; it's not like it's all for performance.

Nah, I'm happy with this. I'm trying to get my business going and I don't have the money to mess with it too much. I'd love a tuner and true duals, but that's a ways off. I'd really love that new supercharger and a 6 speed lol. I need to stop doing metal art and start robbing banks.

I've got a big old buick that weighs about what my truck does, and it has 455 cubic inches, 390hp and 500 ft/lbs. I'd be really happy with a 14 second pass, let alone a 13 second one!

It is not a large engine, it is only 343CID. Its a small block that develops 1.13HP per Cubic inch, runs cleaner emissions and gets far better MPG than any engine pushing 1HP per cube back in the day. I had a 340 in my 72 Demon that I put thousands into to get just under 1HP per cube with 8mpg on a good day. This new (stock) Hemi would just walk away from that 340 and it gets better than 23mpg on the freeway. I could never go back to carbs and points. My 340 demon stock was a high 14 second car at best.

Exactly, and the Buick doesn't have any TM! I am happy with the 390HP and TQ we have but I think removing the TM is really going to improve these times. Awesome vid, thanks.
