|  $$$ Of Aftermarket goodies
I was looking at getting a different turbo for my truck, or go with the twins... One of my friends just bought a dodge and we where talking about me putting a turbo on and some other things.... Well anyways we started looking at stuff for his truck and there is a hell of a difference in price with alot of the cummins and duramax performance stuff?????

| Its a lot like corvette and other GM products using the same engine. Headers for a vette? 1200. Headers for a GTO with the same motor? 600.
Its all a matter of who the manufacturer thinks buys their cars and what they can afford. | |

The similar part for the Cummins is about half the cost!!!

| Ya you'll have that. The cummins is alot more simple and a stronger motor. The cummins has also been out for a while so they got that edge to. None the less you the Duramax has more power stock and could probably beat a cummins with a after market turbo.
A buddy of mine has a 96 Cummins with a ton of upgrades. Trubo, clutch, programer and a fewother goodies. I raced hime with my BONE STOCK duramax and he could barely keep up with me 
Still the saying goes "you gotta pay to play"
