O.G.
If I'm not mistaken he should take you off the line like up to 30-40 mph because of his torque but then you should be able to walk pass him after that. You might try power braking to help you have a better launch to beat him off the line too.
Good luck and represent!

YOU SHOULD EAT HIM FOR AN Early morning snack
Don't even waste your rubber. Just put it in D5 with no powerbrake and see how that goes. You should pull pretty hard in 1st and 2nd.
Thats one heavy truck! Big V8 yes, but its still a heavy truck.
I heard they are pretty fast...
Btw VORTEC AND VORTECH are 2 totally different things. Vortec is like VTEC and comes with GM/Chevy's motors. VORTECH makes superchargers for mostly domestics.

GM's Definition:
The term Vortec is derived from the "vortex" (the physical
phenomenon) and advanced GM engineering technologies. A vortex is a whirling mass, much like a tornado. GM engineers harnessed the power of a vortex within an engine's combustion
chamber to achieve more power and greater efficiency.
