One is CC SB 2001 Chevy Duramax LB7 with a Predator and a 6 inch lift with 35 inch tires.The other is a CC SB 2004.5 Duramax LLY no lift, but with 20 inch wheels and 305 50 R20 tires. Its a guy that I know, and I was just curious at which would run better. Both trucks are 4X4.

Drive them both and let us know.

35" tires is going to hurt some but I could see BOTH trucks limping the tranny, and doing 70mph max.

I agree, both the Predator and Six-Gun are capable of limping the tranny on their highest setting. Should be a good race if they don't, though.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to go with the Banks on this. Even on a stock trans, it's capable of low 14's (14.2) in a 7500lb LLY truck.

14.2!?!?!?!!? My truck's best with the predator on 100 is 14.928 @ 89.06 mph. You honestly believe the banks could shave 7 tenths off of my time. I hate banks stuff but if this is true...and I realize that it is defintely coming from a reliable source...than I would strongly consider a switch.

I saw it do it on another truck, so I borrowed it and put it on Blue the same day at the track. It ran 14.2 on Blue. The Predator 100 ran 14.4 on Blue.
People say the Banks is "wimpy". On the LLY, I would disagree. Now also understand I ran 13.68 the same day with the PPE/VA Kill stack, which is indeed quicker, but for a single tuner, the Banks is up there with everything but the PPE Hot.

was that w/ the tires and lift kit?
I'm sure Pat had the hammer down on the launch too.

yes that was with the tires and lift. I had run it before without the tires and lift but I only ran it on the 85hp and I dont have my slips anymore. IIRC my best time that night was a 15.1.
