Message:
Anyone been on KRC's web page lately and
taken a peek at the 471 hp rt. they say it only
runs 13.125 in the 1/4? That seems way off to
me. Using the calculator on bernds page that
thing should run atleast Low 12's and with all
that torque (700 lbft +) it should be under that.
Granted the run they quote is on street tires,
but still that seems way off!

take a look at the mph, that tells you everything. obvisiouly the truck wasn't hooking up at all. with that mph and slicks it will see low 12's with no problem.

They might be having problems hookin up all that torque its tough to even it out. Might have been a typo. Read about a Vette that had about that much torque and even professional drives who they got to drive it had trouble keepin all that torque under control.

That was 2.5 sixty footers, street tires, nursing it out of the hole until the 1/8th mile, and the hooking. The truck will run 11.50's with slicks. The 1/8 mile times were the equivelant to a 14 sec ET at 9.0. That tells you how slow I babied the truck out of the hole. Always ignore ET's, look at the MPH to see the power a motor is generating. ET is a function of the foot. Later!

The 2.5 60' time gives the traction loss away and the overall e/t shows the capability. Marty can build some pretty-damn-quick trucks. Don't underestimate his trucks...ya might have one coming up behind you (rear view mirror) someday. ;)

Congrats on that TQ monster Marty!! :)
