At the scales my truck with all my normal crap and a full tank weighs 8100 lbs. You diesel haeds may get past me after 70-75, but not before. It takes too long for your turbo's to build boost while my V-10 is gone, done this many times with red-light runs. All those mods you guys do to your newer engines means no warranty, so if you can take that chance, more power to ya, sucker.

LMAO hell my truck weighs 9253 cause I'm looking at a receipt from the scrap iron place and I guaranteed I would kill you in a race and well before we hit 70 mph. Hell you would have to slow down cause you won't be able to see anything cause of all my black smoke in your face, sucker.

Suuuure you are. And all the guys who've been posting their side for the last couple years have all been lying, right? Get real, we all love our trucks, otherwise we'd own Toyotas, now wouldn't we?

Toyota didn't make SuperDuty yet, but look what they did to Rangers sales?
If you pay attention you will also notice Nissan Titans doing lot of trailer towing.
It is sure nice to come home from long trip and has nothing to fix on the truck

You my friend are smokin' the good stuff....
Are you sure those "guys" that you raced were not 5.4's with powerstroke badges on it? cause thats the only way I see you winning.
You may/may not know but the 6.0L and the 6.4L the turbo lag is VERY minimal....

I disagree with that statement. I had an 07 6.0 and I thought the lag was bad until I got my 6.4. It was even worse. Dangerous actually. If you are turning left at an intersection you have to sit with your foot on the brake and have it pre spooled it you want to make it. Nothing worse than trying to turn and it just falls flat on it's face. My friends with the 6.4 complain about the same problem with lag...

Then possibly there was something wrong with your truck, exhaust leak, sticking vanes, egr valve...etc.....mine does not do that even before I put the powermax on it...however the powermax is a tad slower than the stocker simply because it has a bigger compressor.

I doubt it. I only 3k dollars on mods so far. You would have to spend 3 times as much to make that power and be reliable. So as far as performance goes diesel wins hand downs.
