    Someone said an 01 DMax with $9K total spent on it would outrun an 01 RCSB V8 with $4K of mods?

    This I have to see.

    she will run high 12s w/o the spray being pretty easy off the line... maybe 5-8 psi boost on launch.

    just depends on the type of race your talking about.... an 01 with 9k would be super deep 11s if not 10s and still fairly reliable....i think for 4k on a gasser you might be able to get there.... but it would all be big spray.... and doubt the tranny that would be needed to take it to the 10s would fit in the budget....and then i dont see the 4k package living very long.
    i know people will argue all sorts of variables....i think the competition would be more fair for a 9k gasser to keep up with a 4k diesel... being diesel is already FI.... think that would be much more interesting....

    honestly, i think all the variables we (me) are comparing is getting kind of stupid. you cant really directly compare these kinds of things i guess.

    man, i dream of a 5-8 psi launch... 4x4 must be nice, especially on the street.
