Who here is looking forward to the Hurricane?

Traction limitation when boost kicks in and not knowing how to lift the foot off the pedal. Brake stalling to get turbos spooking before launch. You can't just mash the throttle and expect good results. But that goes for the Hemi as well

4Hi and traction control solves most of those issues.

I would never leave traction control in if I am trying to race anyone. It kills power if it senses even a little wheel spin.

And not all trucks are 4wd

Jebus, lighten up just a touch would ya? Levity isn't your thing apparently.

I think it's reasonable to assume Ram will not get rid of the torque management they have had since they started using them Hemi and I'm not talking about traction control. A Hemi Ram has more than enough hp and torque to smoke the tires for a significant distance and get you sideways but the computer manages torque output to preserve driveline components and it results in significantly reduced loss of traction on dry pavement.

I see nothing wrong with this disagreement. I think HSKR R/T makes valid points.
Perhaps you are sensing that you are on the wrong side of the argument?
This is just bench racing. It will be settled in due time at the strip. Would you be willing to wager?
I'd bet that HSKR R/T would...

Thanks for your valuable contribution. Perhaps you're not familiar with the term I used...

Yes. if it has 1 or 2 turbos, one has to have boost for fast get up and go. My new I6 with twins has plenty of get up and go but I don't drag race any more. I'm to old I guess. Wtih a heavy foot, they will spin just ease off a little and let her go otherwise just rubber and smoke. Too bad the days of straight drives are gone; always hated autos ...still. Have fun and be safe.

My next truck will probably be a Chevy. I don't like Ford (had a 2018), and don't want a V6 turbo if a V8 is an option. Then again, if in the new generation of the V8 GM still doesn't make it dual injected and only direct injected, I'll be looking at RAM again and Toyota. Still have 3-4 more years with this one.
