i may take a stroll down for that, but i think it's pretty clear diesels own gas. if you disagree it just means you don't own a diesel and want one lol.

On the track gas wins , and yes I own and race both.

But ultimately it comes down to the all mighty dollar, it takes big bucks to make a diesel run low 11's or quicker.

It's one reason why I bought another gas truck to play with.

Same reason I have a gas truck now too....I can make that little 5.3 pretty fast and fun for what I need to spend on rods for my diesel. Although I'll still be taking the diesel to this event

Hopefully I can make it down, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have exams right around then.
