Competition Am curious, what would my truck run if....

[JBlackwell]

I had what I have in my signiture, but a built transmission and 500rwhp? Or what about 600rwhp?



I was wondering if I already have a pretty good setup for the track? That being a 2wd with skinnies on the front and 33x12. 50's out back. I know this has to be the lightest truck you can get with a Cummins in it since it is a 2wd reg. cab with no power windows, locks, and no carpet.



Also curious if I would end up having an advantage over 4wd trucks overall. I know a 4wd can pull better 60 ft. but would the overall less weight of my truck pull harder at the end?



I appreciate any feedback. Getting money saved up for built transmission and a twin setup.

At 6600# w/driver and 4WD @ 530hp went 13. 27@104 in Vegas. DTT trans w/ 93% race converter... TCC lockup in 3rd and 4th.

2WD vs. 4WD

This coming year should be interesting, as there haven't been a lot of 2WD's really set up right for traction. So far as I know, all the current fastest trucks are 4x4.

My truck must weigh between 6500-7000, rwhp is 467, DTT w/89%, and fastest ET is 12. 68 @ 104 in 4x4.

I have a feeling there will be some 2WD's giving us a run for the money this year though. Remember, all the power in the world won't help you if you can't stick it to the ground...

2wd-x cab long bed mid 12's. Looking for low 12's by our first race in 3 weeks. Too bad you guys are so far away.

I appreciate the comments guys/gal.



That is awesome if I could get mid 12's with 600rwhp.

I would think I could get even more with a 93% race converter and some slicks. Wish they made some 33" tall slicks to go on the rear when I get it done

you can get 34 inch slicks in 16 inch

Talk to the experts before going to a tighter converter...

SO what does a tighter convertor mean? Is that the stall or the endplay?
