7.3 Vs 6.0 Vortec
Hey fellers,
Me and my dad got to talking today and he said his 02 GMC 2500HD SC SB Auto stock VS my 00 CC SB with a 80E DP-tuner. I know these 6.0s are quick but I was wondering if we lined them up at our local 1/8 mile who would win? I also have a buddy I work with we ride together everyday and challanged me to run his 06Dodge Daytona RC SB with a 5.7 I am pretty sure I could beat him with ease.

Well I have seen several Hemi's beaten a 7.3 with just a chip so I don't beleive that will be a problem, but I know these 6.0 vortecs are quick, I drive one at work and dads sometimes. With an 80E the 7.3 doesn't lag much, I think I could beat him in the 1/8.

You will get him in the 1/8th but he will catch you as you get 50-100 feet further. Thats what happened to me a few months back. I am estimating the distance based on the MPH I was running when he caught me compared to the MPH I got in the 1/8th at smokin. I jumped out in front by a truck length or so, and had him up to about 70-75mph. Thats when he flew by me. That was before the updated tunes, though but I don't think it would make much more difference. He was coming pretty hard and we did it twice. I just mashed on it in 80"e" on the first one, and then again in 120R on the second. No pre-loading the turbo or anything though. Just mashed it when the light turned green.

You should beat the GMC.
Last summer I raced a 2004 Silverado SS at Bandimere (1/4 mile). I ran a 15.4, he ran a high 16. My truck with nothing but a chip, intake, and exhaust would still run low 16's. After we raced, he pulled back around and walked up to my truck asking what I did to it. He said he had a 2001 PSD at home and couldn't believe my truck beat his Silverado.
Bottom line, you should beat him. Get a good 4x4 boosted launch and he'll never catch you.

I wear a size 14 shoe, so I could too
...not like Joe is saying, but I watch enough Nascar to know how to heel toe the Brake and Gas pedal with the right foot and clutch with the left.
