really? the truck ran 9s making only 300hp? :what:
Yeah but it weighed just a motor on a dolly.:hehe:

LOL
but in all seriousness if it weighed 3500 (very doubtful) then it would be making less then 600hp to run 9.9 :bang
4500 is a bit more realistic... to run 9.9 it would take 760hp
What are you talking about? No one said any 300hp truck ran 9's...!? I'm confused...
The link posted by the OP showed some guy on the ORG talking about making 800hp, then 500hp after he corrected himself. Then everyone told him he'd be lucky to get 300hp.
Now the high HP 7.3 IDI did run 9's according to everyone here. But if you read the link it says it made 1200hp.
So figure weight for it at 1200hp. This is under ideal conditions though. None of us will ever know how well this truck hooked and spooled off the line at the track...
:doh: when a thread gets as derailed as this one did i completely forget why it was started LOL
without reading the article in SEVERAL months i'd guess that they could have meant 1200 at the crank?
Yeah my point exactly, who really knows!? From the pics and the scattered details it sounds bad arse though.
Still trying to dig up more info, if we get enough, we might even try and do an article for Diesel Power.
