    okay so ive got a friend with a 2000 dodge rcsb 5.9 ram...dude before him had it supercharged so he left the bigger injectors and i think its still tuned for thr charger...hes got midlength headers and going to have 3" borla from the cat back cause he still has cats so im thinkin he will lose some low end with the 3" but gain some up high...but he also doesnt have a y pipe...its a true dual system with cats anyways ive got a 99 5.3 with single in/dual out dumped and im pretty sure that the guy before me had the truck tuned but he did not take out the speed limiter..or maybe i have a freak engine because im stock other than exhaust and ive beaten rcsb hemis and can keep up with mustang gts...i also ran a 15.24 @ full weight...i didnt take out the passsenger seat or tailgate or spare tire or rear bumper or anything...but it is a rcsb stepside and ive heard stepside weighs about 200 pounds less than fleet but is that true? doesnt matter right now but do you think i will win? he says his engine is rated at 280 horse and mine is only rated at 270 but we all know the story on dodges powertrain loss...he thinks his truck is about a mid 14 second truck but im thinkin with the mods he has and most likely more weight than me that he shouldnt be...were supposed to race this weekend and im thinking it will come down to the driving? im thinkin im going to pull him off the line but he will have better high end...i seem to have immense power down low but it blows higher up ...suggestions on way to beat him? i might take out my passenger seat cause on one will be riding with me anyways and i might lower my back tire pressure a bit but i just wanna know what you guys think? let me know

    All I know is those old 5.9's are dogs, everyone ive driven and seen is SLOW, i dont think with the stuff he has on his that he will beat you, just my opinion, but let us know how it goes.

    the full size dodge with the 5.9 will be lucky to see a high 15, much less a mid 14, I know a guy with a quad cab 5.9 full size truck and in 40 degree weather he went 16.8 at 78 mph, goood luck.

    oh yeah report back to us lol.
