Playing around with some ET & HP calculators. I don't think those scales at the track are correct.

At 4,900lbs & 99.65 trap speed, I'm supposed to have 378rwhp? I don't think so. Engine is rated at 385 at the motor. The only perf mod I have is a true dual exhaust with x-pipe and the hated flowmaster mufflers.

If I back into the numbers using 310rwhp (385 - 20% driveline loss) I'm about 4100lbs. That sounds more in line.

???

I can promise you it aint 4100lbs. My truck weighs 4100lbs and it's a far cry from yours. The calculator your using is just that........a calculator.

Madman is working on an 08 right now and it is crazy how much heavier is was than mine. The newer the truck the heavier they are getting which is crazy. Wonder why that is???

Not a hijack. I appreciate the feedback.

I wonder if a lightweight front spindle/brake setup would help?
