I don't understand why they didn't smoke the 05 more.
Wonder if it's stock?

I would say the 5.9 was stock as it produced a normal amount of smoke. And it was by far the best sounding truck too. Less gears with high torque means it moves pretty fast.

If it's stock then my truck with tuner at 30 HP and 50 HP injectors would cream them all.

I would hate to spend $70K+ only to have a weaker truck but then again, drag racing is about the most idiotic way of measuring a trucks performance.

I would like to see heavy loads attached and then see how they do.

I have to deal with an older gentlemen from time to time who has a tuned Dodge that lives in my neighborhood who enjoys handing my azz to me. His truck is clearly faster because of a mild tune, and I wouldn't be surprised if it would out tow mine.
