With a free tuner

 

Or you could go to a BullyDog dealer and get the FREE try before you buy program just before you meet him. I think you get like 6 to 8 hours of driving using the Bully Dog program.
Watch his tailpipe for smoke, that'll be the sign he's not stock. If you get the Bully Dog or other programmer, don't set it high enough you'll get smoke or HE'LL know your not stock too!

 

I talked to a friend of mine who knows the guy and he said he heard the guy has a "black box".

Our bet was for stock so I am bringing my Uncle, who's a mechanic and a
6'2" 290 lb wrestler, to check out the truck if something looks fishy.

 

The 6.0 will blow the doors off the gasser (No offense gas guys). The gasser will beet you off the line.

Launch is 4 wheel drive, and power brake.

 

6.0 will kill the 7.3 Looks like easy money.

 

who said aything about a gasser?

 

has anybody watched a stock 7.3 vs a stock 6.0 go head to head? i have a 7.3 and dont race anyone but would be interesting to know how much nuts a 6.0 has.

 

sorry, I mis read the thread

 

he he, i would like to see identical trucks lined up with a 3v v10, a 6.0 and a 7.3, all autos all stock

 

A 6.0 will spank a 7.3 royally, assuming it is running right. When at Ford to buy an oilcap for $8 (Which the very knowledgeable parts woman ASSURED me is about the cheapest part for that engine), a salesman collared me and wanted to show me a new 6.0. We went for a drive. My 7.3 with a DP Tuner would be hard pressed to pass the truck I drove, you get a bit of turbo lag untill around 1600 rpm, then AWAY IT GOES with tires squealing. GOBS of power to spare, but it somehow didn't feel as "beefy" as my 7.3.. Kind of like comparing a well tuned GTI to a well-tuned 429.. They both put you back in your seat, but the big-block makes you feel like there is more there.

If you are going up against a 6.0 that is running right, you will have a hard time.

 

the 05 6.0 i drove just seemed like it lacked the all around torque and power im used to with our 03 7.3, even with the 5 speed auto, i would be very interested to know the outcome stock for stock, sat running them both from a dead stop, then both from a dead stop in 4 hi with boost built up

 

I raced a stock 6.0 and smoked him by a couple lengths up to 85ish, but I have a few goodies and gears. The stock 6.0 will spank the stock 7.3. I want to see video!!

 

I'm curious about this, really. I know my 7.3 would ditch my 6.0 off the line. Up a hill, my 7.3 would ditch my 6.0 pretty easy. However, on flat ground, I believe the 6.0 might catch the 7.3 depending on when the 6.0 decided to get up and run. My 6.0 has a heck of a lag in it. You can stomp it and it may take off in 2 seconds and 20 feet or it may take 2000 feet and 14 seconds to pickup and take off. You just never know, and did I mention, that's dangerous pulling out on 4 lane highways with 60 mph tractor trailer trucks on them.

In an eighth mile, you probably would only get to 3rd gear, on a quarter, probably high gear. The tranny in the 6.0 is a lot smoother than the 12 year old tranny in my 7.3, and shift times would definitely be longer in the older truck. However, the 6.0 looses a boat load of power with every upshift, the 7.3 doesn't loose power between gear shifts.

Remember, the Ford Engineer said my 6.0 is running normally, so I'm supposed to assume it is.

I certainly don't think it would be a blowout by either truck. It'd probably be pretty close.

What about trying this with 8000 lbs on a flatbed behind each? Maybe up a steep grade? I know dang good and well the 7.3 would walk on the 6.0 going up a hill from a dead stop at the bottom.

smoke'm baby

 

Whoever has a gasser beat them off the line is obviously not launching correctly.
