You are one lucky guy! That would not be the norm I can tell you that. I know that my lbz tow truck is good for a high 13 with just a programmer on it. And Im sure that if I put some sleeves on it I could go quicker,,, but its just a tow truck... the real truck is in the garage
Well, I dont want to argue with you, but I am pretty well informed on the workings of a automatic tranny... and teh torqueflite, while being a good tranny, is not any better (or worse) than a allison or the new 68re... and while yes, you could probably build a truck that will turn 12's on a stock tranny, it is for how long is the question.
The facts remain (and trust me I am not a chev guy, I just own one because the price was right) a duramax is still the dragstrip king up to about the 12 second mark,,,,, then you will need to start looking at some major modifications to the engine to make it last...
And yes a properly tuned EFI live truck will easily run 12's with stock turbo and injectors...
As for the 6.4, I have heard about these trucks putting out the big hp, but I have yet to see one personally (not saying that they dont exist, but just have never seen one) They should be able to work, with twins and a commonrail injection system,, still a little concerned on how long the heads will stay on them

Credability just took a hit on this one....
