Just wondering...

What do you guys think it would take to trap 110-mph in a truck, all motor? I see a lot of the 5.3L guys with cams, some with ported heads, sratching @ 105-mph. A quick e.t. is definetly included in this question but, I think mph is more interesting because we all lack it.... Yes, I know why

How radical do you have to get to trap 110-mph and/or, can it be done?
Do you need a 6.0L? Could a 4.8, or 5.3 do it? What sorta heads? How big of a cam?

I do see 2 on the list almost reaching 110mph, and Blacksheep in the 116mph range.

Interested in everyone's thoughts. I have my own opinions just like most of you all have your own, I'm sure.

 

I dont see a 5.3 much less a 4.8 being able to do it N/A. Id be very doubtful of a 6.0 doing it. I guess with some good stage 3 heads, a good sized cam, and a real nice stall it could be done with excellent tuning in a rcsb.
Im no expert though.

 

I Think With A 6.0 It Can Be Done.i Have Seen An X-cab Run 107 With A 6.0 With All Bolt Ons And A Tb Converter 3 Angle Vavle Job And Shaved 20ths With 4.10 Gearsshifting @ 6500 Thunder Racing Did The Tune.so I Know A Rcsb With 6.0 Could Do It.(i Will Let You Know Soon)

 

A heads and cam 5.3l could do it in rcsb 2wd. The right gear, tire, suspension, and engne parts along with a nice trans.

 

110 would be in the lower 12's I would think the truck would have to be gutted and on small slicks cutting 1.7 60's and then the perfect day

 

Not true. I've trapped 107.5 in the low 13s.

 

Yeah, you can have a **** poor launch (and ET) but still trap high MPH. In fact, I've often seen higher MPH when I've had a poor start.

110mph is going to take a big agressive cam, good heads, free flowing exhaust, intake, and tuning. A 6L would be my starting point and I'd be shifting in the high 6000s. Oh yeah, a light weight truck.

 

Your turbo is definetly helping out your trap speed. Sierra's comment is legit when referring to an all motor pass.

 

You would need to be making 470 hp to the rear wheels to do 110 mph. I'm speaking from experience!

 

Could you give us a few details about the setup? How much did your truck weight?
