Default 12v vs. 6.0l

ok today i race a chevy 1500 with 6.0l in a 1/4 and got beat by a truck length. i thought i had him but he got by me at the end my truck didn't have no more in it plus my egts were 1600 so i let out. but i thought with my mods i should have beat him. the 6.0l was stock.

And the torque rise on a gasser is alot quicker than an I6 diesel. That's where a v8 diesel like a duramax or 6.0 powerstroke has an advantage over the cummins.

Don't feel too bad. Those 6.0l Chevys are no slouch.

Depends. Supposedly the 6.0ls they put in the Denalis get better Mileage. The LS series motors are Badass no matter how you slice it.
