From what I read their boat anchors, something like 235 hp and 330 ft lbs. For its size it doesnt pack a punch. Your packing 255 hp and 285 ft lbs. What gears do you two have? I'd go ahead and race him.

Well if it's 99 or newer he has 250 HP@4000 and 345TQ@2900. Those 5.9 are stump pullers. He either has 3.55 or 3.92. I don't know of anyone that had a 5.9 with 3.55's so chances are he has 3.92.

 

Now your making like 255 HP@5200 and 285TQ@4000.

He is making peak TQ 1100 RPM's before you do. That matters a lot. Now you may beat him in a long race, but something shorter he will stomp you. Especially if he has 3.92's.

 

Like it was mentioned HP isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially in truck, where TQ wins the race.

A rough rule of thumb when it comes to HP vs. TQ is that torque helps determine how quickly your vehicle can go, and horsepower helps determine how fast your vehicle can go. "Quick" and "fast" are not necessarily one and the same... :banghead:

You don't have anything to worry about. A stock 5.9 is a slug. Especially if he is 4wd and you are 2wd. Your truck should run low 15's, his will run low 17's if he is lucky. Hell the old 5.7 vortec would out run them even in a heaver truck.

Since when does a older model 4.8 or any 4.8 for that matter, lay down 1/4 mile times of a SS Silverado.

My 95 5.2 reg cab could beat a 5.7 reg cab Chevy, and all I had was a Flowmaster. I got rid of it before the GMT-800 models came out, so I never raced a 4.8 or 5.3. But I could beat all my friends stock 5.7's.

Sorry, I mint high 15's and yes I've seen more than one 4.8 run mid 15's with no modes.

I had a 97' reg cab long bed 2500 4x4 5.7 chevy. My friend had a 97' reg cab shot bed 1500 4x4 5.9 dodge. I could take him by 2 truck links every time. I have 2 cousins both have red ex cab short beds 4x4 1500. One chevy one dodge. Same result, the chevy will take the dodge by 2 truck link every time. That doesn't mean there is no potential in a 5.9. We have a supercharged Durango here in town that runs 12.80's

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
