Tonight on the way home, my hay haulin,hard workin, black smokin rig out ran an 05 wrx sti. It belongs to my brother and he always gave me props on my Ram, But now its nothin but respect. The race went like this. i was in front of him in traffic after leaving a truck lot. ( my friend might buy a 99 24valve ) We both turned left and he quickly got next to me. I didnt front until I was in forth gear at 1300 rpm. He was in third. I stand on the yee ha pedal and so does he. He squirts ahead about half a car length... But then full boost hit s and 50 pounds of boost in his ear . My rig steamed rolled his little subee. I pulled all the way through forth and the beginning of fifth. When all was said and done I had him by just a car length but the look on his face was pricless. Needless to say my buddy really wants this 99 ctd. Thought yall might want to know.

Awesome, the look is worth all the time and money dropped bombing!!!!!

 

Very impressive! Those turbo subees are no slouches

 

Awesome!!! I wish you had it on video - I could show it to my friend who has one and thinks he is the cat's meow!

 

so you are saying with a set of dons mach 2 injectors, an edge comp and a new turbo you are outrunning a 13 second car from a roll....


WOW...what turbo, and how light is your truck

 

Most "quick" AWD cars aren't all that once rolling... the AWD gives them a great jump off the line...

This coming from a former turbo AWD car owner.. I would never run the V-8's from a roll... only from a stop.

Still, a truck vs. a quick car is still impressive! especially starting at 1300rpm..

 

i raced one the a couple of months ago, a wrx sti. he went by me and nailed it, i rolled on mine in 5th. he down shifted and jumped me about 2 lengths. from 50 to 115 or so. we did it again from 50 to about 120. he jumped me 2 lenghts both times on the get go but i stayed right with him once i got some boost built up. we ended up pulling up to a stop light and he rolled down his window. he was like man that big truck will go, i just

 

Take a look at this video. Now, I realize this is not an "apple to apple" comparison. This is only to show that many turbo'd cars suffer from heavy turbo lag.
This point is made clear about 8 minutes into the video.

The the one where they put it in top gear and can't build up boost in a mile?

 

yea.... something like that.....

 

he was just doing it all wrong. Small displacement and high boost equals no torque.

BTW . my bro just read this thread and is ******.
