I wouldn’t put down $100 if I were you, he could easily be lying. I’ve seen and even raced a few REALLY nasty trucks. He could have a different turbo and you wouldn’t even know it. I’ve seen numerous trucks run in the 12s after that its starts getting more expensive to go faster but 12s can be done very easily in a Turbo Diesel. Most people don’t throw out money unless they know they’re going to win or there talking **** on the internet. If you accept and he backs out you’ll know he was bluffing if he goes through with it you might be coming home $100 poorer.

Good Luck either way!

He may get the jump having a 6-speed auto and of course, low end torque..but with out any supporting mods (injectors, catback, etc.) he will not be able to take full advantage of the programmer/box whichever he is using.
Tofu check out my posts on the first page man. Hes an 05 common rail with bully dog which respond better to the programmers than the 24 valves. I think we all agree here From a dig its gonna be a race but the higher the roll the better advantage to you. If he doesnt have at least an exhaust or even an intake to compliment that programmer your gonna take him as long as you can drive. But being a diesel tweaker I would in no way put down $100. If he can afford that truck he can probably afford a few mods besides a programmer, and like we said you'd never know. Race him but not for cash if you cant afford to lose it.
