Default Question about a lifted cummins
If a dodge 2500 cummins has an Edge 5 stage chip, 150 hp injectors,HX35/40mm turbo, intake, exhaust, and fass fuel delivery system, will a 6 inch lift and bigger tire make it slow?? Thanks.

you wont notice anything with the cummins, unless you go insanely big, you may want to look into a converter, and definatly a trans temp gauge, the biggest killer is stop and go situations

Gas Dodge's can't hold a candle to the Cummins.

Gas trucks have a lot less torque, and the bigger tires change the overall gear ratio. Diesel's make more power down low and more power in general so it's not as noticeable.
