Dodge truck just handed me my ass

Some dodge Gtx Single cab truck just left me so far behind.............it was embarrassing. Is this the 345 hp hemi? If it is...........damn that thing runs. :eek:


This was in my 04 crew cab btw. ;)

Either way it ran good :cool:

I'd be game, I'm sure I wouldn't be the fastest but I'd have fun.

I think we also tried having a day at the track or something, but no one could find a weekend off:(

[SSMAN]

Say what you will about the hemi's...............They now have my respect. :cool: They run good........Now a single cab against a crew cab is not exactly fair, but by the amount he was pulling me, He would be running at least low 9's (9.1's-9.2's) providing he could launch good. We were at a 30 mph roll when we got into it.

but no lightnings cause we all know they will win. It should be a non supercharger trucks only. But the ps and the cummining trucks could run cause they would be slow as shit. :p j/k but I would be down racing my hemi. :)

Then that was a nicely modified Hemi you ran. It takes some stuff to make a Single Cab Hemi run low 9s, it's not doing it stock. I know a couple of guys with programmers, intake, exhaust, 3.92 gears, etc. The best run out of all is a 9.08. I'm sure if they worked on their launches maybe it could break 8s. But it ain't gonna get a low 9 stock.

I wouldn't be so fast about Lightnings not being allowed. I'm sure if we could find Forrest some slicks, he'd drag a stock lightning :p

[Sean88gt]

Between my dodges I have 970hp and 2000tq :D

[ALLAN]

I have run a couple on the highway and it was no problem. Seemed faster than those 5.9 Dakotas though. They ran now were near as good as stock Lightning. Still want to run a Viper truck.

BRING IT WOMAN!! :D :D

We should all really meet up sometime. Maybe we can get Speedworks (the one in lewisville, whatever its called) to do a truck dyno day. They ahve the adapter for diesels. I bet if you want to set something up with Mikes Exclusive Customs he will do a dyno day for us. Hes a cool guy. I will stop by and talk to him sometime. The adapter for a diesel on a dynojet is $300. My truck should dyno right at 405hp to the wheels and god only knows the torque. My guess is 650tq. It would be fun. I will try and stop by there tomorrow.

I pulled those numbers out of my butt. I figure 600tq stock -22% drivetrain loss, then I gained 150hp at the wheels with the programmer so I figured 150tq too. Im gonna talk to mike and see if he will get the diesel thing for us if we setup a dyno day.

you gain 150hp you're gaining more like 200-300ftlbs

I don't really see modding my truck making that big of a difference....it takes so long to shift gears in this thing and the gears are so short....it might work better to go 2-4-6 and skip gears.... :rolleyes:

I'm probably not much higher than 450rwhp if that!

[Cooter]

not sure about the 24v programmers, but I've got to assume they extend the fueling range... just because your truck revs to 3500rpm or whatever doesn't mean it's giving a lot of fuel up there...

extending the rev range makes a HUGE difference in drivability... never mind the extra fuel across the board ;)

but yeah, a manual tranny is a serious disadvantage at the strip... :(

Forrest <-- bolt action

[aggie97]

but yeah, a manual tranny is a serious disadvantage at the strip... :(


Like I was saying, the gears are so close to each other that you are constantly shifting anyway....if they had wider ratio splits with a second overdrive?!!!

The big problem is I have yet to find a way to shift this thing any faster.... :mad: There is just a TON of mass in there to shift around and the added power would just make the shifting come faster......over all quicker but hell....it's a truck for cryin' out loud!! ;)

I have run a couple on the highway and it was no problem. Seemed faster than those 5.9 Dakotas though.

I have beat a Hemi Ram in my 5.9 R/T Dakota with the only mods on my truck being a 2 chamber Flowmaster and a drop in K&N filter. The Hemi had exhaust on it too. My truck isn't the fastest, but it runs decent for what it is. ;)

im runnin the bullydog power pup... Dynod 150hp more at the wheels so its close to a 200hp programmer. If we all meet up, I can take the program off my truck and you can load it up and see if you like it. Worth the $350 I paid for it. Busting ass left and right, and smokin people out is FUN.

Hey guys... PLEASE POST UP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A DYNO DAY AND WHAT YOU ARE BRINGING.

I need to find out how many people are down for a dyno day. Im guessing it will be a weekend. Is a Sunday ok for you guys? Mike's Exclusive Customs usual dyno day is Saturdays but I would like to try and set up something up for just us. Gas or diesel

If you want me to, Im buddies with the guys at RPM in lewisville and I can ask them if they will let us do it there. If your guy cant.

which kind of dynos are these? turbo diesels are more sensitive to what kind of dyno they're on... some dynos can't put as much load on them as others...

Only prob is Mike doesnt know much about diesels and how to dyno them. My truck was his 2nd ever.

[Cooter]

did your readout show rpm or mph?

dynoing a manual tranny is easier than an automatic... w/ the auto, you want it to be in lockup and you want it in the highest gear possible... I'll admit I don't know what the trick is... I'd assume you want to kinda roll into the throttle to keep it from downshifting to D.

as long as he can give me a readout showing RPM, I'm down! :D

He was talking about buying the optical thing for diesels last time I talked to him. If we can get enough diesels up there for him to make it worth it, he said he would buy it. Im gonna talk to him tomorrow about it. I dyno'd my truck in 3rd and kept it out of auto and only dyno'd at 205 at the wheels on the first run in 3rd. Most otehr guys with 3rd gens are doing 265 at the wheels. Supposedly if you stay in gear and lockup the converter at 50mph then slow down to around 40 the roll onto the gas to get full boost. Dunno, we will have to wait and see

If you go with the juice, you gotta let me check it out one day. I really wanted that kit cause of in cab adjustability and the attitude is a pimp little set of gauges. I broke down and got the bullydog b/c edge pushed their setup back for months and months.

That's one of the main things I liked about it is the "shift on the fly". I think Bully Dog has something along those lines now also.

no, no, no... the optical readout measures RPM instead of the standard spark plug wire method. This is the only way to measure RPM on newer diesels. Its $300 from Dynojet for him to buy.

Dyno = count me in with the proper optical readout.....

Mine is easy with the 6 spd.....stick in 5th at around 900 and push right foot to floor.

I like the idea of flashing for a day but it will just peak my interest to get one. IF and when I do one it will be the edge unit with the digital guage readouts...ONLY when it is proven not to blow up the stock turbo. I am really holding out to not mod the truck since I would be spending mod money on TWO vehicles.... :(

A little dyno time though wouldn't hurt.
