What will it take to beat a hemi ram?

[Jordan836]

Alright so I have a few friends who have been talkin some crap about the silverado so before I race him I wanna make sure Ill be able to beat him. My silverado is an 04 5.3 ECSB with Lts ORY CAI Nelson 89 octane tune (soon to be 93) shift kit and servos with 3:73s and stock 16in wheels. The rumble bee is a RCSB hemi with headers an intake and no tune and 22s. I have Moze's ya itll beat a hemi sticker so before I put the sticker to the test I wanna make sure Im able too! Then my other friend has a ECSB Dodge dakota R/T with the 5.9 its all stock and he thinks its the badest truck around. Basically I want to know if I stand a chance against these guys!

dakota RT's are a joke...and the 'tune' market for dodges isn't very well. I would say you would put up a fair fight/ maybe pull a little bit.


If you don't want to get into motor work, I'd throw an UD pulley on. If you don't mind motor work, cam/heads/etc will make sure you WIN by a longshot

[Jordan836]

Thats good to know. And ya I plan on motor work just not right now since its my only vehicle so I cant really have down time....and some more money wouldnt hurt haha. I would just hope with what I have so far I could put up a decent fight with a ram. Theres a couple around town here that just have exhausts and Im hoping Moze's sticker will get them to race! Its hard to find people to race up here in CT!

you will beat em bro,,,,,,,,,as long as u gripand get vid

[will_oh]

idk about the dakota, i hear they are kinda quick. but that rumble bee should go down without too much trouble.

[LARRY01Z28]

i think you can take them both out.

Where ya at? I'll run you with my Hemi.....

[RedHeartbeat]

yeah, a 5.3 with a good cam, truetrac with 4.10s and a 10" stall should eat Hemi's and spit out R/Ts

[Frenchy]

You guys must not have any serious R/T's down there, they're most of the truck scene around here. Weird.

we have alot of those new challengers, the new camaro ss', alot of corvettes, camaro older style, ricers, alot of street bikes, alot of lifted trucks here too. Alot of chevy's here, but only a few with upgrades. Alot of people like to run around on saturdays. Gonna go tonight, and find a few of the lightnings, and see what happens with em. MIght get my ass handled, but oh well. 6.0 isn't in yet.
