Duramax and 6.4 Ford guys will always want to pull WS if the rule states no modifications to a stock turbo. They already have a much larger turbo from the get go. Only way to make WS perfectly even is to make it allow a turbo the same size as the biggest stock charger, which usually is the Duramax turbos. Not sure how they compare to the "twins" on the 6.4's. All these trucks have huge fueling capabilites, the great equalizer is airflow.

What was going on with the traction bars?? They looked like they were dragging on the ground??
We went to a pull a few yrs ago.. They said run-what-a-brung.. We got first.. and then they started complaining.. if there are no rules.. (some brush pulls..) how can you be cheating...

Exactly... I wouldn't even THINK about trying to pull WS at an NADM event... I know they'd laugh me out the tech area!
But the rules around here let my truck into WS... So I pull WS.
Ain't cheating if the rules allow it. Also... My truck IS STILL a work truck. I can still tow a decent load, and can drive from here to wherever I want.
Alot of other 2.6" trucks can't say that.
