Just want your opinion.....
RWHP & RWTQ #s dont seem right with mods.Especially TQ.
1/8 mile and 1/4 mile #s dont match. (if its same run) and his muffler gave almost 30 RWHP ?

Hmm.. My truck weighs in at 4040 with my butt in it... RC 2000 RT... 290 hp @ 325 ft. lbs.. with the same size slicks as he mentions (except 10.5 vs. 11.5")... I ran a best of 13.98 @98.5 mph... My best 1/8th mi is 9.05 @ 79.2 mph NA... Quicker than him (yet a little lower mph)... Based on what he posts in the 1/4 mi-- his mph is too high for the time... 335 rwhp? Terry Herrin is the fastest CC NA so far at a 13.6 @ 99mph and he has 336 rwhp w/4.56 gears.
So how does a lighter truck that supposedly make MORE hp run shower time, but that much more mph??
Doesn't add up.

He runs with the tailgate down. Once all the bullsh!t falls out the back,he gets lighter yet and gains speed.All that weight makes it harder to get everything going. That explains the slow time. He must have weighed the truck after the run! There....Explained!!!!

It seems a little heavy.
His 60' time sux, (I'm doing 2.08 w/o slicks) but it seems that it's a very strong top end. Unless he is running with sand in the bed I think he needs to reweigh it.

Im just impressed with the RWTQ #s. 428 at the wheels naturally aspirated. ????
and 30 RWHP with the Spintech. Maybe I`ll get 4 of those.
Maybe he just forgot to put down NO2 as a mod.

the entry says it's a club cab with a regular bed....
And he's full of crap. I am running 9.22 in the 1/8th at 75 mph. And that's with a 1.92 short time. He's getting 2.12 short times and running 9.17 at 80+ mph?? 5 hundredths doth not 5 mph make! I dont' even think wheel spin would give you those numbers (and especially not if you're running sticky tires). Something is fishy...

From his times it looks like he's going easy off the line them nailing it, if those times are true. That would account for the high mph vs. his times.
