Default cummins vs HEMI

My friends has a 03 Hemi QC and he has been wanting to race my friends 01 Cummins which has bout 40,000 invested in it. Looks like an old ranch truck but can outrun alot of people. Well my friend with the cummins wanted for my friend with the hemi to take off cause he couldn't here his horn. With 15 lbs of boost and in 4wd, he shot like a rocket off the line and beat my friend by at least 7 car links. He has hit a 14.25 in the quarter. Thats a badass truck, he drives it several hundred miles to race it on the quarter and to tractor pull and he has placed 3rd in tractor pulls. Highest placing truck that was driven there, not towed.

I wouldn't put the hemi's down. I have seen quite a few running 12's even a 392ci Ram running low 12's. But bone stock or with an exhasut they are not that special.

I had a Hemi 06. not a bad truck for Gas. Actually great for a gas truck. but diesel and gas are two different classes and the price shows it

I had the Hemi. Great motor. I would have still had it but I went for service and this was on the lot and I knew it was for me.
