Challenging one to an autocross wouldn't be fare. Just like challenging me to an offroad race wouldn't be fare.

I will be dynoing next week. I haven't been at one for over two years now since I street tune. I'm right around 18psi normally right now and for the track can go up to 23. Not much by truck standards though...

Actually they're both internal combustion platforms that use a combustable fuel, who would have known?.........

And I'm glad you have it so easy, you must be super cool since you drive an automatic diesel truck. Take it to a track (a real track), and see how you fair in the driving department. You'll see there's more to life than pushing one pedal to go fast and getting 15mpg.
