ooooooookay
First of all, he did some performance mods to his truck like exhaust, cold air intake, chip, traction bars and he recently had it dynoed at the Nissan event out near Philly (I think thats where it was) and he dynoed somewhere around 350 ft lbs torque at the rear wheels and I cant remember what his HP rating was. He got 6 inch lift and 35's and the truck looks good and runs good.
I got all stock driveline, exhaust, everything stock except I have the cold air intake, and any mods I did to my truck were actually detrimental to its performance.....like the lift and tires. My truck spec'd out from the factory with 350 ft lbs of torque at the flywheel so hes already got me beat there, but I also got him by curb weight, mines about 700lbs heavier than his.
So should I take him up on this little wager, or politley decline? I am a little weary of either one of us braking something regardless of who wins, I mean even if I won I would hate for it to be because he broke something.
oh and the wager.........loser has to post the video on his truck forum (hes a big poster on a Titan forum) other than that its all in fun, but like I said Id hate to see either of us brake something.
So what do you guys think? Do it or dont do it?

A NISSAN against a Superduty?
Shear weight will get you the win - fill the gas tank, for starters.
See, the more your truck weighs, the more traction it will have. Of course, bigger tires means less pounds per square inch of tire contact with the pavement, but even still, weight will be the determining factor.
If it were me, I'd just stand on the brakes (maybe pulling the ABS fuse for the heck of it) with an auto. Let him try to pull you. As soon as he starts spinning his wheels (or jumping on all fours) hit the gas, release the brakes slowly, and pull him away.
It's all in the timing

should be an easy win for you as long as you follow all the advise already given. Lowering your tire air pressure, 4whl low, and weight in the bed is a definet traction getter................
can't wait to here how far you drag him around.........good luck, be safe, and post the video
