what tires were you running in the videos? im guessing that youre launching in 4wd?

thats awesome though...ive seen fast diesels before, but they generally looked like race trucks...yours looks like it should be in a car show...and it runs 11s...

Ahhh... so maybe I've achieved building a sleeper

They're ProComp Xterrains 37x13.5x20's.

My goal was to get to the 11's on fuel with a single turbo on my 37's. It was pretty exciting when I did. I know there's a lot of twin turbos trucks that haven't or aren't able to do it. On of the trucks I raced sprayed the whole way down the track and only bet me by 2/10's. I'm not the fastest mega cab but, I believe it's probably the fastest if not one of the fastest trucks of it's size.

Thanks for the compliment :-)

thats the funny part...the truck definately isnt a sleeper...i mean, it has to stand out (and above) in pretty much any crowd of vehicles, but you still wouldnt expect it to turn out those numbers.

is that in full street trim? if i pulled up next to you at a stoplight, would you be able to run basically the same times (considering less traction on the street).

when i watched the first video and i saw you pulling the sled, i thought "oh..this isnt drag racing"...then it went to the first video and you YANKED the truck out of the hole...

I was thinking sleeper as far as " who would think ! " about the power and times.... not many, he he he. You're right though... it will turn some heads.

When I drive it on the street, I typically have the power turned down. Even then, there's a lot that most wouldn't be able to keep up with.

The software I run turns off the torque management, rev limited, speed limter. I also have the ability to adjust several other engine parameters. 1400lbs TQ out of the hole is what gets it movin' ! Lock the convertor from there and it's ***** to the wall !

I am able to run everything on " extreme " on the street though so... yeah, it could eat some unsuspecting rides up on the road. That stuff belongs at the track though :-)

I didn’t realize this section didn’t have much truck talk.&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;img src=&quot\\;https://dodgeforum.com/upfiles/smile...&quot\\;&gt\\; I thought there’d be more than a few Dakota’s here that raced.&amp\\;nbsp\\; I don’t think there’s even any guys in the Cummins section that race. &amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;img src=&quot\\;https://dodgeforum.com/upfiles/smile...&amp\\;nbsp\\; :-)
