Default 13 second cummins?

Is it possible to do for less than a 1,000$ considering I already have a Bully Dog and 4" exhaust? soon a BHAF intake w/heat shield.

I think this formula works for Diesels

hp = weight / (ET / 5.825)3


The 3 at the end means cubed, not x3

You are fighting an uphill battle already with your truck my friend. With 2WD and the power you need to get down the 1/4 in 13 seconds, you'll be spinning the tires something fierce. All the trucks I have seen lay down good times have launched in 4WD.
I think a Smarty and a SB clutch should get you close if you can row through the gears fast enough. I know with my NV5600, I spend more times between gears than I do with my foot on the floor.
