lookin to see if anyone has gone to the track with there caddy powered truck's stock or modified trying to get an idea of what this thing will run plan on taking it to the track when finished but need to see what to expect i'm thinking 13's to 14's hopefully it's all stock

I think we`re going to need you to tell us.

I would think at least 14s. Lots of torque but no real world horsepower (I would imagine). I'm sure they'd be hot worked over or at least with a little baby 100hp shot of juice.
