How would a 2011 hemi single cab 2wd truck with a k&n air filter hold up to a cummins 2500 crew cab with stacks and tuner with 35'S in a drag race?

If he is running the hot tune, then the hemi will lose. My 2010 cummins is lifted on 35's, and I ran a 14.4 at the track with just the tuner and dpf delete. The hemi trucks at the track that night were running high 14's to low 15's with basic bolton mods, and a few of them even had tuners. Diesel trucks can catch you off guard if they are modded correctly.

I know both guys in that video you just posted. Raj owns the lifted diesel, and it is a 11.9-12.0 truck all day. The silver hemi has heads/cam and nitrous and runs mid 12's on a 150 shot. Both very fast trucks though.

Don't need 10,000 if I think an easy way for you to beat him is a torque converter hemifever tune should be a pretty damn good run

RACE HIM, I bet you it will be a lot closer than most think, he weighs a lot more, race him on a deserted area, no timng trees ,no sticky burnouts, nothing straight up run him, you will be suprised.. also done correctly the HEMI will suprise a lot of DIESELS too.

it will but he did say the guy has a programmer on the diesel and you cant underestimate that depending on which one it is... look at matts truck it ran a 14.4 on big tires and a not so perfect racing weather when most hemi trucks out there were barely running high 14s except for the 13 sec crew cab
