- We're back for another test.
You guys asked for it when we did the tug-of-war.
This time we're doing a full out drag race
between the Arkon K350
and Custom Offset's flagship truck, the CO2.
One side, we've got the diesel.
It's turbo charged.
It's on a eight inch BDS,
and on the opposite side,
we've got a super charged six liter gasser
in the 2500 riding on a 6-1/2 inch BDS.
Should these trucks be drag raced?
Probably not, but you asked for it.
So, it's time to see which one will be the winner.
- [Narrator] And what better place to test these two trucks
than Road America, not only one of the best tracks
in the state but arguably one of the best race tracks
in the entire country.
Lined up on the historic front straight,
the Power Stroke Stands tall
with its eight inch BDS lift kit,
26 by 14 Arkon Crown series Victories,
and 40 inch Fury tires.
The previous tug-of-war champion lurks in the shadows,
equipped with a 6-1/2 inch BDS lift kit,
24 by 14 Arkon Lincolns, and 37 inch Fuel tires.
But where it counts this time is under the hood.
Freshly tuned, the Power Stroke puts the power
to the pavement with its turbo charged diesel engine,
six speed transmission, and our brand new drive shafts,
courtesy of Dana.
CO2 brings a Whipple super-charged six liter V8 to the line,
along with a load of confidence, bald eagle power
and a do to for Dale mentality.
At this point, it's anyone's race.
- So, Fuller kind of really embarrassed us
in the Super Duty last time with the tug-of-war
and breaking it.
So, hopefully, we redeem ourselves on this round.
At the tug-of-war, this was completely stock.
We've had some time.
We've now got EGR delete.
I've got a GDP EZ Lynk in here with a 200 horse smoke tune
that Brad does not know about.
So, hopefully, we can distract him with a little smoke
and win this thing that way.
We got a five inch exhaust, straight back,
no mufflers, no anything.
Got rid of all the emissions stuff.
So, we're making quite a bit more power
than we were before.
And then Dana Corp. Hooked us up
with new front and rear drive lines.
So, they're gonna be a lot stronger
than the one Fuller snapped.
So, in theory, there is nothing that can go wrong
other than maybe grenading this thing,
but send it, right?
- All right, as most of you know,
CO2 was victorious for round one.
So, we decided we have to have a round two
to embarrass them again.
So, we're back here.
This time, we're doing a drag race.
We're gonna go get set up here,
and then we're gonna do it for Dale,
rip some bald eagles and destroy this Ford again.
Hopefully, the Ford breaks again.
That'll be great.
(thrilling dramatic orchestral music)
(engines revving)
Whoa, baby!
Oh, no, oh, no.
- Bye, bye, Brad.
Not even close.
(trucks whirring)
(engine revving)
(trucks whirring)
Holy sh (beep).
So, I mean, we walked him.
So, we're gonna tell him that
we'll do a second run just to make him feel better
about himself, but we're gonna do a few things.
We're gonna hurt him even worse this time.
So, it's gonna be fun.
- I guarantee we'll run it a couple more times, though,
and then that'll break, and then we'll win.

- [Arkon Driver] Wah ha hoo!
- [Brad] Can I help you?
- I didn't see you back there.
- I couldn't see you either because of all the black smoke.
I couldn't see either.
So, that's why I was losing
'cause I had to slow down.
I couldn't see.
- Oh, oh, you want me to turn the smoker off?
- Turn your smoke shit off.
Let's race after the EPA comes
and makes you put all that back on.
Then we can race.
The only thing that I have to say is
although CO2 may have lost on the top end,
the first 100 foot, CO2 won,
and the first 100 foot, everyone knows,
that's a driver's race.
So, what's that say?
Who's a better driver?
We all know.
- We should probably go look at the black marks
'cause the first 100 foot, I did nothing but spin.
- That's poor driving.
That's all I can say.
See, CO2, you don't have to worry about that.
It doesn't spin.
You just go.
- That's 'cause you're not enough torque.
See, we've got like 1,100 foot pounds of torque in there.
What you want me to do, put drag slicks on so I hook up?
You wanna try it again with some slicks?
- You gotta modulate that throttle pedal.
It's all about the modulation of the throttle, okay?
That's what every, every good driver knows that.
- I'm gonna get back in.
I need to get to Chicago like right now
'cause I gotta get a wrap on that thing for SEMA.
So, I'm outta here.
- I don't have to do anything today.
So, I guess I'll go back to work.
Bye.

Fuller has plans sometimes, and he knows them,
but he doesn't share those plans with anyone else.
So, he just gets in and goes and drives around
and leaves everyone else clueless.
- [Passenger] What is that called, a red?
- Yes, that'd be a red personality trait probably.
- Fuller is straight red,
but we love him.
- Good thing we got that 200 horse tune.
So, that's the drag race.
Neither of us broke, so that's the big plus.
I don't have to do any extra work.
(truck engine rumbling)
(truck horn blaring)
- Whoa, baby!
Oh, no, oh, no.
(thrilling dramatic orchestral music)
Oh, boy.
Not even close.
(thrilling dramatic orchestral music)
We got him off the line.
That's about all we got.
