So what kind of HP numbers are they making with these rules?

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?

No RUNNER intakes. you can run a side draft or some 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.

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
Taken from 3.0 rules
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?

Wrong.
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?
