I'm hearing hp numbers are on par with true bore 2.5 numbers. Right around the 950-1,000 hp mark.

So you have you cannot mill off the intake shelf on a Cummins and bolt a aftermarket intake plenum to the head?

Why can't you have a runner intake? Does it allow for some other radical change that wouldn't be able to happen with a side draft or other factory style replacement?

I agree the runner intake rule is a bit of joke as it doesn't affect power. It has always been a way to target the cummins engines. While the v8s can run whatever they choose.

I read that the rear can be solid. Is this like the 3.0 class or am I thinking wrong?

Also, will the tires be measured or will they go off the sidewall nomenclature?

No, I have not. 35x12.50 tires, on most occasions, won't measure more than 33 inches.

That is pretty close to actual measurements. The Boggers and regular TSL's (Bias ply) have shown as much as a 3/4" difference between tires. When you leave and the front wheels come up (in racing) this will mess with ya.

Once we figured this out, we always made sure to purchase twin sisters.

Taken from 2.6 rules
Quote:
25. The vehicle must retain the original factory wheelbase and track width. Maximum of 1 ton truck chassis only allowed.
Taken from 3.0 rules
Quote:
24. Maximum wheelbase 158” and 102” maximum track width (outside tire to outside tire
I have noticed a few of the 2.6 trucks that look to be stretched in some of the videos I've been watching. I didn't see a maximum wheelbase on the 2.6 class.

How stringent are the PPL techs when it comes to this rule? It appears the wheelbase rule could leave one brand dominant??

I didn't think the warhead retained the factory oem valve angle?

I think you are confusing the previous 2.6 slotted class trucks with what will be the current 2.6 smooth bore trucks. The new 2.6 trucks are the old 2.5 trucks, and I don't remember seeing any stretched trucks in 2.5. Maybe there are some?

The 2.6 smooth bore rule concerning original wheelbase is meant to allow factory crew cabs etc. Basically what used to be allowed in the old 2.6 class. I am always surprised that the hitch length is the same for all wheelbase trucks when they can range from 13x" to 17x". I never understood why a percentage rule wasn't used in this scenario?
