Hey, My friend is buying a RCSB Tundra 5.7...What will a 2014 8-speed RCSB Express with 3.92 gear, intake and exhaust do against it you think?

IT is RAM man... ****, we're on a RAM forum! RAM IS IT! :)

With the A8 and it's 14 to 1 1st gear, as long as you can keep it from spinning, you should have a decent lead on him. That being said, I think the Tundra has a 4.XX rear end, but I'm not sure what the final ratio is with the transmission.

I'd still think all things equal, the RAM would pull out in front, but Tundra's are stronger than you think and personally, I think they understate their HP and TQ numbers.

tundras use 4.10's in ALL their trucks...and TRD's and TSS's have 4.30 gears...and yeah my this same guy had a 4 door 4.7 tundra TRD with 4.30 gears and it was quick until 50 or so then i was a slug haha

I thought the 3:92's were NOT even an option with the a8? They change something?

With my stock CREWCAB 2010 Hemi with 3.55 on 20s and manual shifting I beat a doublecab tundra on 17 with 4.10s from a 30 roll and 60 roll I murdered him. Ill post video in a few.

From a dead stop the HEMI needs 3.92 or 4.10 to compete and the HEMI should win especially if u manual shift.

i beat one on a 60 roll. as soon as the tundras get to 80 they are slugs. the new hemi will do just fine against them.

You have an A8 with 3:92's? Darn it I should have held out. I also wanted the 6.5' (6'4" i guess) crew and it became available for order the day after I picked up my truck!! :Stupid Me:

Yeah, a little OT but....My good friend got a '13 Tundra 4.6 Crewmax 4x4 and I can smoke him in my wife's '12 Town and Country. He gets me off the line by 3/4 a length then the vans tires decide to hook up.

Now thats funny! Wanna Race my Jeep Compass...LOL.......up a hill in a SnowStorm (North Edition, Eh!)

Not a Toyota Guy at all but would think the New Rams are probably faster than a Zero to Sixty 7 second 5.7 Tundra but then again I don't get caught in street races, But remember these are Pick-up Trucks and every once in a while need to be reminded of that by the many V8 RWD Cars out there.

A good friend of mine had a RCSB Tundra with intake, exhaust and drag radials with a big ass wet kit solidly in the 11's.
That thing was fun on the street.
