The title says it all. What does it take to get a sub 17 second 1/4 mile ET in a 2002 3500 w/cummins? Parts, mods, cost?

It'll probably pull a 17 second 1/4 mile right now without having to do anything to it.

yup, but put an aftermarket lift pump, smarty catcher, and a south bend clutch and you could get her to keep up with the mustang GT's

I made a sub in 17 seconds one time. It was the worst case of the munchies known to man......


It was capacola (cabogul), and a fat slice of Cacciocavallo cheese. The first bite added 60 pts to my cholestorol. But none the less, I made a sub in under 17 seconds.







Oh wait, that's not what you were asking.........sorry.

I don't know what mine will run. I'll have to take it to the dyno one of these days.
