Actually if you really want to waste someone and pop their bubble you need to trade the truck on a 4x4 dually diesel with automatic and 4.10 gears. I'm partial to Dodge but in reality the Duramax is the best diesel truck for drag racing. yes they will run 12's and pull your 5th wheel trailer too as well as last for several hundred k miles. Diesels aren't cheap to make go fast but they are electronic and pretty easy to work on. Nothing like being walked on by a 7000 pound truck. I just talked to a local guy with a Dodge and he makes 600+ hp and 1200+ foot pounds torque!! honest injun..I saw him at the dyno. All electronic. Purrs like a kitten...well maybe like a lion. The thing can still get 19-20 mpg too.
