I just don't think a 6.0 can compete with a common rail truck.... I hate to sound like a hater. But to put a 6.0 up against these dodges that make well over 1000hp fuel only at sea level, and well into the 10s, its just an unfair fight. The way I see a 6.0 coming out in the top 3 is if it stays together longer than the rest...

Jesses truck has made 957 fuel only at sea level, it's a very proven truck as long as he doesn't have any hiccups with the compound setup I see it being a pretty competitive truck. There's two crew cab 6.0s in the 10s fuel only. I don't see any truth to your statement. I agree a 6.4 would have a better shot but don't count out the heui trucks. If he sprays the nuts off it and it stays together it will hurt some feelings. Jmo.

I'm not trying to say one will win but with the right luck I don't see a top three finish being hard to get. Anything is better than a manual 7.3.....

You say there are TWO crew cab 6.0s in the 10s... When there are literally a sh*t ton of crew cab dodges in the 10s. I'm not trying to be a d*ck or sound like a 6.4 fanatic, but they are just out dated. A have confidence in the 6.7 as well, Just not as many people building them yet. I have no doubt the 6.7 will be leaps and bounds past the 6.4 once people really start getting into them. 957hp will net him what at 6000ft? Then throw nitrous into it, when, from reading the previous posts, they've never used, which always turns out as intended the first time.

I don't think it's totally the dodge and Chevy guys voting for poor choices for Ford. I think there about 20x more people that are stuck in the 7.3 and 6.0 days that will vote for those trucks then ones that will vote for the modern ones that actually have a chance.

Top 3 doesn't matter..... The only thing that matters is winning. I couldn't tell you who came in 2nd and 3rd last year. A 6.0 or 7.3 just aren't going to do it.

I guarantee that the reason a 6.0 was voted in was because that is what the dodges and chevy's voted for.... That is why a 6 speed 7.3 was voted in last year...LOL

That is probably why "Buck" got voted in too...LOL

Don't forget Beech won it when he brought his plastic butter knife to that gun fight. Enough guns misfired, and his 550 HP of fury took home the win. I guess what I'm saying is, in a perfect storm, a 6.0 could win it LOL
