misterp Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 So there I was driving my morning commute, no real hurry and I'm being paced by a black EC Ram... He makes an assertive lane change and eases around me (he's doing maybe 10-12 over) and just as his rear bumper goes by he stands on the turbo There's no thick black smoke so I assume he's not modified at all. We end-up staged at the last red-light in town, and I've decided that I'm not going to embarrass this guy. As the light turns I roll-out and the Dodge pops the clutch but then quickly changes his mind and decides to hang back and pace the SS door-to-door through the intersection. I let him ease ahead to about 3/4 truck-length on me, we're only going about 30-35 mph (please please please take the bait), then sure enough I hear him really lay into the throttle, the Cummins is making all kinds of racket but laboring under a bad case of turbo lag - enough of this crap I think to myself, nail the throttle and the SS downshifts from 3rd to 1st gear, explodes off the blocks, and gives Mr. Dodge a 5-grand Corsa blast before that poor Cummins turbo was even halfway spooled-up. Buuhhh-Bye Black Dodge. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 good kill P should have waitied for him to pass and gave him the shoulder shrug! Well, I kinda got carried away and before you know it was upshifting into 4th WOT Even after I turned into the parking lot I did not see the Dodge behind me, I had at least 3/4-mile on him... Mr. P.

mwalls54 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 good kill. I know if you didn't see any black smoke the truck probably was stock. My new work truck is a 06 powerstoke with a superchips programer and it really hauls. I know as soon as the turbo spools its rolling good. but if its not in to boot its a little slow. If i spool up the turbo from a stop and go its scary how quick that truck moves off the line. the top end on diesels are amazing. a week and half ago i was driving from texas to nashville and i was on 40. i came across a tbss and we ran together for about a 100 miles then i wanted to see if he would run a high speed pull, from about 80-100+. sure enough we did and i am affraid to say i outpulled him.

Further proof to support my theory!!!!!!!! Let's argue! My buddy has a big buck$$$$$ Duramaxx, it goes pretty good considering it's a lowered 4x4 club cab dually.

Oh I'm not dissin' diesel power at all, I drove a new PowerStroke for a day this last Christmas, it was stock and you stomp on the throttle and wait about 1.5-secs for the power to finally come on but it is there. I just know that if the driver does not have that turbo already singing it's all over, I just drove in a way that used his own turbo lag against him. Mr. P.
