There's no way that truck didn't have a power adder on it (i.e. laughing gas, etc). You have to think about this for a minute - the dodge you ran has just a wink more (advertised) power, but it's soooooo much heavier than your truck, probably by more than 1000 lbs not including the payload. It just doesn't add up.

This truck was off like a rocket I had a srt10 single cab 6spd beat me before and it didn't move like that, and I knew the srt had me before we started I just wanted to see how close. Ain't nothin wrong with my truck it's runnin fine I'm not all butt hurt about it after adding it up. I shoulda been suspicious when they pulled up snickering and revving the motor with a bed full of coolers and crap and a cab full of people. I'm definitely impressed by whatever he had going on under the hood. He definitely lrft me guessing what he had done to it.
But, You guys talk like I have 35" tires on my truck robbing my power. 265 bridgestone duelers can't hold asphalt, the truck hooks up better with 305s. I haven't added any weight other than the drop spindles but they were probly 10 lbs heavier than stock adding a little unsprung weight. The 18" alloys and duelers were heavier than what I got now and they were 3/4" taller. I did that on purpose because of the 4.10 rear end.
