7.3 vs 5.9

Stroker7 · #1 Mon, May 7th, 2012, 02:02 PM

So I am ordering a phoenix chip and will have a 4 inch straight pipe to my 7.3. My buddy has a 24v 5.9 with a 4 inch straight pipe and edge with juice. He wants to have a tug of war with me. Who do you think will win?

Tug a war is all about driver and available traction.

Who's truck is heavier?

x2, a friend of mine would slide elevator weights under the bed to help weigh it down.

X3...also depends on how its geared and if dualky or single wheel. With no weights a single wheel will pull a dually, due to weight more distributed on a dually and won't get as good of traction.

Even match, I say the dodge. Inline engines are built for pulling especially at lower rpms.

I'm not trying to single you out, but where in the world does this idea come from?

It's false. There are attributes that an inline six cylinder has that make it a nicer-running engine, but there is no validity in the "more low-end" argument.
