E55 vs. SRT-10 supercharged ???????

Just wondering which will win? I think it will be close. My brother in-law and I are about to leave to go pick it up in Yuma. Its a 2004 6spd with a paxton supercharger with long tubes, high flow cats and magna flow muffler. I guess the guy did titanium gears with a high performance clutch to so what do you guys think? remember its 5000lbs and is has trouble with traction because its still a pick-up truck

Your worst nightmare...
Hmmm that will be a close call...I would give the advantage to the E because it is lighter. Is your Renntech a stage V? Please bring a camera.

Keep us posted on this... Sounds like that thing would be deadly from a roll.

E55 should handle it fairly easy. While the SRT-10 trucks are wicked fast as a truck their tranny, gearing, weight, aerodynamics etc hold back it's performance.

If it were a Viper then I'd have to go with the complete opposite of what I just said.

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
The truck will def out tow you, and has better ground clearance-so off road, I give to the Ram-
The E should walk pretty well on this-

Yeah the truck traction is an issue. It cant launch well because there is no weight over the rear axle, might want to do it from a roll to be fair.

ya did it from a roll from about 60 to 120 and it was pretty even. Sorry it was only us two so no one to film ,asked a friend to come with us but he could'nt make it. The truck dynoed at 620rwhp and 600rwtq. He will be coming out to the track with me when it starts to cool down a little. Hope to see you AZ guys there.
