there are a few 7.3 haters. My friends I told you that it was a comperably equipted truck. CC LB 6 Spd 4X4. He has a 175 HP custom Mach 7 from hypermax. Thats also why I said his truck will beat me off the line. . . but I will beat him in the long run. I don't mince words or lie to win. I either win or loose. There is no doubt that it takes a hell of a lot more money to get a 7.3 to win over a 6.0. And yes a 6 speed against an auto requires about 100 more horse to be competitive. All I'm saying is that when my engine breathes. . . . . it really breathes. The 6.0 just needs more RPM to breathe like mine.
