Default duramax vs 8.1L Big block

A guy i work with has a 02 2500hd extended cab 4wd w/ 3.73 rear ALL STOCK and swears he can leave me towing or racing. My truck is a 03 4wd reg cab w/3.73 rear 4" exhaust K&N intake and a Hypertech 90hp programmer! He keeps wanting to race for pink slips what do you think?

well I wouldn't do it cause I don't know, I can't afford too lose my truck, if you had EFI Live or just a PPE i'd try it, but for pinks, hell no, just wager like $100 or something that way it sucks for one of ya but you're not out of a truck

sounds like he's a few marbles short of a full jar, I sure wouldn't do it, i honestly think if you can hook up you'd smoke him, especially with a little boosted launch, but lets say something breaks or whatever, then you're out a truck and yours is more valuable in my opinion than hsi anyway just because of the diesel

Just tell him if he really wants to race put up 100.00 or shut up. To many things could happen that might change the out come, plus I really wouldn't want to take a truck from some one who can't afford it.

Those 8.1's can move. Esspecially if he has a good programmer on it. GM pulls ALOT of power out of the tune from the factory. I would be careful!
