Re: how much horsepower does your truck have

600 hp from a 327.. either lots and lots of money and spinning it to the moon, or lots and lots of money with boost.

right now im about 350-370 wheel and about 440 crank. upwards of 440-450 wheel tq though.

first gear stands no chance with radials.

and no you dont need fat meats to hook up.. and a 4 link properly setup will hook just fine with a 275/60/15 drag radial.. which is proven that runs in the 7's now. no im not saying these old heavy trucks can run that fast with the small tire, but they work.. and will work for what im going after

will be putting in a mild built 350 with forged pistons and for now, a holset turbo off a cummins bus in the truck. should support 500 wheel, then ill be upgrading to masterpowers 76 series turbo hoping for 600 wheel on 93 pump!


classic dreamer, im also wondering what makes ya think that a twin turbo setup isnt practical? minus the price? extremely efficient, able to run better mpg out of boost than a NA motor set up correctly. and you dont need a big cam to make power.
