i met chuck for coffee yesterday after work and on the way home....we decided to live up to connecticut powerstroke diesel club standards and had a drag race. of course it was in front of a school, invovled nearly being side swiped by another truck and of course alot of noise and black smoke (from chucks truck). I won.....not by much but i did win, this made me happy but skeptical. Chuck called me and confirmed that he had his foot to the floor. This is where i have a question. His truck has an airbox, its chipped, has an exhaust, and meth. injection. My truck only has a superchip power programmer (donated by chuck when he got his chip) and a exhaust. Why would my truck beat his? My excursion weighs 7222 lbs and according to the website that i found his weighs in at 6039 lbs. not sure if these weights are correct. i thought maybe my truck was lighter and thats why i beat him. but this is telling me my truck is heavier than his.

what are your axle gear ratios?

did you have an empty tank?

maybe the trannies did different things when you both slammed the hammer down......? perhaps yours downshifted and his locked the converter a little prematurely, causing you to go and him to lug?

PERHAPS A CTPSDCLUB DRAG DAY IS IN ORDER?!?!?
