Ford vs Dodge

I have a friend who owns a 2001 dodge cummins that will not shut up about how bad his truck is. He has an edge module and 5 inch exhaust. Do you think my 2006 psd with 4 inch exhaust and Matts aggressive street tune will out run his dodge? Same gears my truck is supercrew and his is extended cab. He has a 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires.

Thanks

In the long run you'll get him, but I can tell you coming from an 02 dodge to an 06 ford, the dodge does not have that initial lag that the ford does right off the line. That really is about the only good thing I can say about it, I do know once you do get that old dodge up to speed you have to fight to keep it there longer then you do with the Ford, but I do miss that initial start power that the dodge had. I think you'll be able to do it.

Having mud tires on his dodge i dont think he will get as much traction off the line. Expecially just one tire spinning on the dodge. I think i will have him all around. Thanks,

Exactly, I think you'll have him beat easily. Oh, and if you do race him please don't do it on the street, street racing is bad mmkay?

Consider a JimmyZ box for that jump off the line. Don't use mine all the time but it gets attention when I do. When they catch up at the next light it's like PSD's can't do that. So then I have to do it again.

i'll tell you this, just for good messure, and only that. Head down to your local Ford dealer and pick up some PM17A Motorcraft Cetain Booster. The stuff is great, i sell it to customers here by the case to the crazy diesle guys who enjoy a good race or too.Best of luck to you and go Spank some Cummins Arss!

Does he have that Special Edge race Box that they sell for the Cummins? I have heard that that little black box produces alot of power but I still think you can take him.

Not sure, but the other night on #3 at around 25mph when punched, my buddy dang near hugged me when the rear tires broke loose and started doing the 2 step on dry concrete.

Run him. My 06 runs circles around dodges with just a chip or programmer. Ive beat alot of trucks with just my street tune. Fords are damn quick with just a tuner, but once those dodges or chevys do alittle more then a tuner, we stuggle to keep up. Go out and have some fun, be careful and let us know the outcome (even know I know who is going to win).
