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

I was told 18 to 22% depending on what parts in the trans. Kinda depressing to know I will loose that much to heat production and to spin the added weight of the four wheel drive axle.

Waaaay back when mine was bone stock we dynoed it before blower install and the driveline loss was right at 24%. Of course, that is assuming GMs claim of 275 crank hp for a stock 2000 5.3 was accurate. It made 208 rwhp.

I got a old Chrysler product with a 511 inch Hemi with Stage 5 **** that puts down a little over 500 rwhp that I drive on the street (pump gas, can idle in traffic on a 90* summer day type deal). I can leave a stop light with the tires on fire, or the equivalent of around a 1.50-1.60 60' time. This is really what I consider a street car (not a 1000+rwhp turbo/blown set up that tears up parts, is temperamental and out right stupid at full throttle on the street).
Everyone's opinion of what a street car is is different and the debate will continue forever. So for me, my Chrysler is a street car and it's motor belongs in a 2wd car chassis.
Sorry for the derail. I took the car to a drive-in meet tonight, so I feel like talking about it. lol
