BigDan3131 · 11-04-2011, 05:37 AM

How tall are the slicks? How big is the convertor 10" 9" 8"? Just plain leafs are did you add cal-trac bars? What is your torque peak?

*REVERE49* · 11-04-2011, 09:47 AM

you have the power to weight ratio to run mid to high 12's with good traction/ and no wheel hop

69GMC910 · 11-04-2011, 10:51 AM

Well I hope to run 11.5 or better with skinny's up front and stickies out back... I am putting the fuel cell at the front of the box because I would hate to ruin usage of the box if it were at the back... I have considered the "spare tire location", but with the possibility of reloacting leaf springs in the future, I doubt they would fit with the tank there...

My goal is to keep this truck as stock appearing as possible, minus a cowl hood and a roll pan... Any suspension tips/weight savings tips would be MUCH appreciated!

dukcaln · 11-05-2011, 11:21 PM

buddy has similar set up as you. He is 11.7-11.9 depending on conditions

68 C-10 KID · 11-06-2011, 01:16 AM

Properly geared and a 13.5w tire with a correctly matched converter, a 700Hp motor should run 10.90's to 11.teens in a truck that weighs in 3600-4000lbs
