i have a friend that has a newer dodge with, what i am told to be a little over 500hp. his truck is a 4x4 quad cab.

if i can match him hp & tq could i win in the 1/4 mile?

and if we weigh the same or close to it

would it then come down to the driver,gearing,tire size or any other stuff?

my main question would be what truck is quicker with hp,tq,reaction time all being the same?

I know the tune that you are running now will not do it.. I have not seen times on the other truck or dmax with the same.(500hp) hang around, There are guys on here that will know for sure, and tell you what you need and where to get it at a resonable price.

a 500hp dmax with beat a 500 hp dodge. mainly the dodge wieghs more thus still slower.

you need a tranny PPE or EFI to get there

I have never been on a dyno, but should be somewhere in the general area of 500hp. All that's in my sig. Getting the 500hp isn't a big deal, but you need to get a tranny to hold it for sure.
