How many RWHP does a 5000lbs truck needs to run 6 sec in the 1/8th??
 

Hey guys, as the title says, what kind of rwhp does a 5000lbs need to run 6 sec in the 1/8th of mile??
what are your real world personal numbers??
I have a 4900lbs 4wd rcsb nbs running 7.30 @ 10psi 630ish rwhp..
I still have a 14psi boost level that I havent had a chance to try AND 75hp shot of nitrous on top of that..
Please share your times/rwhp level/ weight..
​​​​​thanks guys!

Use this calculator.

6 seconds flat or 6.99?

I weigh in around 5500lbs, I made 956hp/1178tq to the wheels and ran a 6.7 in the 1/8th at 108 with a shitty 1.756 60ft. I'm a full weight 4x4 2011 ext cab.

6 seconds flat..
Thats a cool calculator.. pretty accurate, I typed my curreng rwhp and weight and the number came up pretty close to what I ran..
Holy cow 956/1178 and ran 6.7?
I guess the main thing keeping us from going faster is weight..
My current setup is in my RCSB 4wd silverado, and I bougjt a 2007 RCSB 4wd GMC Canyon with the intention to swap everything to it and do some major weight reduction.. right now as they are, there is a weight difference of 1350 lbs, I just dont know if its worth the swap

At 4900lb-ish I made roughly 1100rwhp-ish and went a best of 6.05@115 with a little luck. Tried like hell to get that 5.999 but turbo was maxed out and only got 4-5 runs with 4 slicks until the trans gave up.

Yeah that was before I locked the converter and got the truck to 60ft good so imagine it would be a lot better now. Still though weight is a big factor with our trucks.

Damn thats rolling!

4wd truck probably has 20 to 25% drivetrain loss?

Yep.....
