All in all, would a SS Silverado with an 8.1 (given some love) be able to compete with a SRT-10 Ram?

Dunno, I have never seen a SS with an 8.1:confuzeld

I don't think they are made, but I can't see an 8.1 (short of supercharged) hanging with an RT10 Ram. That is unless the guy driving the Ram doesn't know how to drive and spins the tires.

Hopefully they will build the 427SS that was at SEMA, with a GMC badged on the front even better. That would give the Dodge a run for the money for sure.

i'd like to see an 8.1 SS....are the SS's AWD?

I think a Dmax powered shortbed standard cab would be the hot ticket!

Well that would be awesome. And I really do hope they 7.0 ( 427 ) makes its way as an option in the trucks.

There is no comparaison possible between these 2 truck. The 8.1 is made to pull heavy load as a work truck and the srt-10 is a lightweight sport truck that was made to go fast.

In a 6800lbs my 8.1 ran 14.40 N/A and with a 200hp of N2O 12.44@ 108mph.

The best shot would be the new aluminum vette engine.

The new LS7 is the reason I'm selling the heads and cam I have for my Camaro. My car will have a ls7! LOL

In a 6800lbs my 8.1 ran 14.40 N/A and with a 200hp of N2O 12.44@ 108mph. So imagine what a turbocharged srt-10 with n2O will do...:)
