As for racing the Dmax, you'll lose big time.

Right now with your current mods, you're probably around 300-310 hp at the rear wheels.

Dangit Curtis....you beat me to it again. Great advise though, I'll catch ya on the flipside.
I will say to the OP that being able to "chip" a Duramax is like calling a "Supercab" Ford a "Club Cab". There's a bit of difference between chips, modules, and tuner/programmers. I'd LOVE to see a "chip" for a Duramax.
Yep. There's no sense in even trying to beat a 'max in a race (even a stock LLY/LBZ/LMM)....you'll get your *** handed to you. LB7...maybe there's a chance....but not anything newer than '04.5.

Even if you could, why do you want to stack when you can get 1 chip that does it all?

Dump about $8000 into your motor & tranny first, then he'll only beat you by a little bit. He'll still win in a Chipped Duracrap. A saying Kris said once on here is fitting in this situation..... "Racing a 7.3L is like bringing an expensive sword to a gunfight"
