Hahaha, yeah power to weight ratio. Let's just see them try and pull a trailer!

Also any year of duramax with minor mods is a very noteworthy opponent.
Diesel already powers half of Europe; the high pressure fuel systems will pave the way for diesel prominance in the future here as well. As to their potential for high performance apps, check this out. (Let's see a gasser do that!)

Check out Audi's future direction in LeMans:

I think I feel a tear coming.
Fordafied away as long as it is Ford Blue. I thought long and hard about that name. I have owned 6 Ford trucks in the past. My wife and I both drive Fords. Hers is an Eddie Bauer edition Expedition.

I got beat by a cummins on the high way, I know that he had stuff done. I had my superchip up at 80hp and we started at about 65 and went to 105, my front was even with his rear, not to bad but it still sucked to lose to it, but it was so much fun to let her rip.

i'm thinking i would like to have that 140 hp extreme tune when i get my jt chip just for sittuations like this, but i'm not sure i want to be tempted into running it with the rods i have in my truck.... anybody have any thoughts about running that tune without forged rods...?

Johnny, if you have stock injectors, stock fuel system, stock turbo and stock hpop, you can run the 140 all day long. If it were me, and I had aftermarket turbo, fuel, injectors, and dual hpops, and a tune Jody wrote with the CP testing equipment, it wouldn't bother me in the least to run the program, I know Jody's truck was twisted up pretty tight on PMR's and his never had a problem.

I'll bet you'll be good with the stock injectors, fuel system,HPOP and turbo.
There's a dyno shop down here in Concord to test your different settings.

U can get a flip chip(multi tunes) from Jody T. Just a flip of the switch for the warp drive engines to go on line!
