I do not recall there was a drag race.
I suspect from a standing start towing 16,000 lbs or more so with 35,000 lbs the 10 speed will definitely shine against the 6 speed.
One with highest torque off the line will be ahead. At the end of the race the one with highest HP will be ahead.
Also V8 are normally quicker that I-6.
Is anyone still putting V8's is OTR trucks? Most now that low RPM high torque I-6's.
So based on what you said I would think the GM would be ahead on the top of the hill with 45 more HP.
OH, maybe RAM puts down MORE advertised HP than the competition??? Think this hav been proven true many times.
