Street Race result; X5 vs Raptor

[MagicMtnDan]

Street racing a 6000 pound 4XX HP 4WD pickup truck running 35" tires and Fox shocks designed for high speed off roading - why that makes perfect sense

the gear ratio makes a difference with the uphill i remember my tahoe and my buddys f150 are dead even and one race involved a little uphill part and he smoked me up hill in his fx2 with a 3.47 i think i don't know but my tahoe has a 3.08 so i'm just assuming the 4.10 would help a lot with uphill

my duddy's - 2011 BMW X5 sport, bone stock

mine - 2011 super crew, AFE stage 2 intake, Stainlesswork lightning style exhaust, 90 permance tune from 5 star, 35" nitto trail tire with 18" fuel rim, and mid perch (probably perch mod doesn't matter).

0 - 40mph

1st run - mine in 2WD, X5 was just lil faster, i burned tire just lil when i started.

2st run (slightly uphill) - mine in 4WD, i killed my buddy.

i always thought 2WD is faster than 4WD but i guess i was wrong?

any idea?

Have any pictures of your tires and rims?

Isn't it bad for the rear differential, the tranny, and the driveshaft when placed on a stress level like this on pavement especially when the "ELD" is on our trucks?..correct me if im wrong..and If you are to race another truck/car from a dig. What settings did you use/switch on for maximum engine power to the wheels...

i would think ORM and TC OFF(hold the button down till TC flashes)

See those X5 around here a lot...usually a Women's car...so we're you racing a chick or a dude?

They have dual exhausts...thought they must be fast....
