His truck is a lot lighter. Like, 1000-1500 pounds lighter.
If you're running a stock 6.0 and 3.73 gears he'll probably take you in the quarter mile. He'll jump out to an early lead, you'll be pulling on him at the line but he'll still have about 2 lengths on you.
A better race would be quarter mile towing 5000 pounds.

I've got a friend with a 1500 hemi...I've got a 05 6.0 and we use to race alot, and I would kill him, of course at the time I was running a SCMT...But the distance I was beating him by I think you could take him stock.
He sold the Dodge and got an 04 6.0 and he said it feels faster...but don't know for a fact...

Yeah, I say go for it as well. It would be better if you had the SCT as Pocket mentioned, but it will be interesting anyway. Heck, I've beaten them in my "slow" 7.3L. 
Just this morning I roasted a 3500 CTD -- I don't think he liked being behind me in traffic, so he whipped around me and cut me off. Once we got out of it, I got in front of him, gave him a windshield full of soot, and he could never catch up.

Another Hemi guy that wants to race... these guys are all the same. They all think they have a hot rod. Don't do it, it's not a fair comparison. If you two want to compare your trucks, then why don't you each hook up 10,000 lbs behind you and then go at it. That'll teach him to keep his mouth shut! Go get 'em!

I would put 10,00lbs behind the trucks and then race, because if you go to pickuptrucks.com and check the shoot out with Ford and Chevy and Dodge the Hemi was getting beat buy just the Ford V10 with out any problem so I would think that would be more fare.

My V10 might do it......but I'd have to lock the hubs to keep from burning the back tires off..... Only I can't get the hubs to lock right now....
The nice thing about my V10 6 speed, is I can rev it to 5300rpm without blowing it up. She hums along pretty nice way up there.....
