Hey Orange. LOL

Listen to me...... When we swim with the sharks, it is best to stay well away from the chum.

As the chevy guy mentioned, there is some real talent involved in this thread, and they have every right to kick each other in the nads. Lets just watch and learn. K? LOL

Hard to say because all the true numbers are hush hushed and/or fish storied.

Plus, you have variation in how it's being tested. To put a 12V on a engine dyno is straightforward, but those guys can only guess at the driveline losses, so the wheel HP is unknown.

Then the chassis dyno guys, some run the el-zingo spinny dyno, and you can get all kinds of high numbers from those, but yet these don't dominate on-track as much as you would think, based on the numbers, so I have a hard time buying in on those.

Now there are a few neanderthals who run load-cell chassis dynos, which I feel are the most accurate numbers, but those guys all keep their mouths shut.

And then the age-old "getting it to the ground" issue. Both setup and driver.

So, this is just my opinion: you get yourself a 2.6 truck that hooks great and has a smart driver and makes an honest 800 wheel HP, you will do a lot of damage. You may not win every hook, but a formidable points runner you will be.

I have never worried about the guys with the biggest numbers. They tend to break a lot of stuff, even if they put on awesome runs here and there.

What I worry about are good drivers with experience and solid equipment.

3.0 = more fuel...........

you cant throw a 13mm p pump at a 2.6 charger

2.6 truck average what 800hp give or take

3.0 truck average what 1100+

regardless of more air or not, a higher hp truck is putting more stress on parts regardless of the temperature its at

13mm pumps are very common in 2.6. I'm running one and my truck doesn't even run that good LOL.

You must not get out much! You have no clue what your talking about.:bang
 
I got an idea. Why doesn't everyone come to the Sarver dyno day with their 2.6 trucks. Don't worry, noone can look under the hood :snoop: I want to see the numbers on paper, not a keyboard. Yes, I'll have my bomb there to see what it can do too. You eastern Ohio guys can come with trucks pushing 1000hp out of a 66mm inducer :charger: and shut me the phuck up.

Who are you referring to in eastern ohio that make 1k on a 66 wheel?

Well, I didn't think anyone further out would come. I've read so much about COTPC trucks floating on water, and such, I'd love to see the magic in person.

I suggest you come to a COTPC hook with a good running 2.6 truck and watch what happens.
I bet my truck hardly makes 500hp
