Well i went to the strip help me

Hp calculator puts me at 811 to the flywheel on et or 847 on mph. That sucks was hoping to be higher than that. What do i need to change to get me closer to being in the 6s
 
I dont have anything bad to say about them as they are trying to help me and have sent me quite a few revisions trying a few different things.
 
Ill just start off saying, it is way less expensive/easier to make a race truck go fast than a daily driver. A 6.70 is pretty quick, that is a mid 10sec quarter mile pass. While it is 100% attainable with a full weight daily driver, it will be pretty expensive if you want it to last round after round and drive it home every time.

Right now you are at a point where you need to either be happy where you are, or get ready to spend some serious money. You will need about 1200hp to run 6.70s at full weight, that HP gets you into bigger singles that arent the nicest on the street, and will require a restall on your converter. You will also be on the ragged edge of your stock rods, so plan on buying billet rods and if you do that you might as well go though and just rebuild the engine, go to a larger cam, better head studs, fire rings, ported head, etc etc.

Im not sure what trans you have, but at 1200hp you will need a serious 48re with oversized shafts. add about $4000 to upgrade the converter, and over shafts if you dont have them already. And you will also need a cage installed if you plan to compete.

This is why most people start looking for a race truck... You can expect to spend around $20k-$25k on the low end, to make your daily go 6.70s. OR, you can go buy another running truck for around $10k and swap the parts, putting your daily back to stock and HP parts on the other, gut the **** out of it, and go 6.70s with the same parts you already have at 900hp. (5500lbs @900hp should do a 6.70).

When it breaks, you winch it on the trailer and still go home and make it to work the next day.

Om trying to figure out how theres so many in ohio with this turbo dynoing 900 to 1000. And mine is only around 800. The truck that broke a 1000hp had smaller injectors and was pretty much setup identical to mine

Do you have headwork? Cam? Pretty sure the truck that made 1k on a tater is far from a stock long block.
 
Umm it says right on there video it has 12v shot peened and hardened rods. And a stock ported head thats it. I am aware of what im getting into guys and if i do go with a 476 it will get either billet or shot peened rods put in it and get freshened at that time. It isnt something that i am gonna do right now. It will be left the way it is for now. I have a 79 ford i am looking at possibly putting on a regular cab dodge frame and putting this engine in and putting a stock back in mine. I have firepunks stage 2 trans in my truck. I would like to go a little faster and i think tires and messing with tire pressure will help. I am very happy with everyones advice. I dont plan on going to much farther with what i have at the moment until i do get rods as i know i am getting close to stocks limits. I do want to get into the 6s but its not something that is going to happen tomorrow or next week or even in the next 3 months. I do follow your build thread speedshift it is a good one and keep up the good work. I do appreciate the advice and that is my plan to find something else to put my engine in
