Default ran a vortecmax

Ran one on the interstate from 70mph, he hits it when I am just minding my own business and puts a truck length on me, I end up getting him by a few lengths, and to top it off I had a load of lumber in the back of my truck.LOL Wife laughed at him when I come rolling past him.

I just dont understand how you are running those times with those mods in a 4.8. That 1/4th time estimates your RWHP at 314. I just dont see how that's possible in a stock cam 4.8

Weight reduction mostly. It went 15.1 with 20s and full weight though. He hit fuel cut off when I got on the side of him, then it was just embarrassing for him. I was like, ohhhh speed limiter, doesnt that suck.LOL. He was on some 22s it looked like, and had exhaust at least. But damn, I had a load of lumber and a passenger, and he initiated the run. He wouldnt even look over as I was coming around.LOL

BlueCajun can vouch for the truck. He saw it run at the track and their are others here that have checked the truck out.

What exact weight reduction have you done? Did you remove the body at the track and just run the truck with a frame and driver's seat? lol.


j/k!!!
