I have a 2wd crewcab and my freind has a Hemi 2wd 4 door ram. Stock vs. his with exhaust his was a little faster esp. off the line. Now with the SCMT IN MINE and a hypertech(I think) in his I blow his doors off. He still launches me, But I catch him pretty quick once my one tire fryer finally hooks up. His truck runs 15.40's. I would est mine at 15.0. I also ran a hopped up Matrix running 14.80's and lost, but was really close. I ran out of street, but I was pulling.

I didn't race the hemi yet because I didn't get the SCMT yet, but I raced my buddies 04 4 dr Chevy Z71 with the 5.3 and 3.42 gears and we was side by side the whole way. I thought my truck would be quicker than that. Also I just installed MBRP cat back with muffler delete.

Proper spool up and lauching are very critical.

Your guy won't jump 10 lengths on you like before.

Bring it up to 2100/2300 (brake pedal to the floor) launch in 4x4 high....before you get out of first gear switch off 4high you will win....I guarantee it
Practice first..... Two, three, four times
Try this before you race him and tell me what you think
