Good lord....
Here are the stats. Racing is 95% HP to weight ratio....
2006 Honda Accord V6
244 Base HP
3415lbs
That is 14 pounds per HP.
1996 Dodge Ram 5.9L
230HP Stock
4530lbs
That is 19.7 pounds per HP.
Using basic math, if you were to equal the HP to weight ratio the Ram would need 323HP (100HP over stock)to have a comparable run to your Accord. Then you also have to factor in age. Not knowing Indy's mods, he may be experiencing higher than stock drive train loss from an oldertranny,gears, ect.
Congrats, your 10 year newer lighter car can run with the modded Ram, to bad it can not look as good doing it.

Wow, that math sucks for me, 8800lbs @ 320hp w/ mods = 27.5 lbs/hp, to get to a reg 5.9 engine I'd need 450hp, but I can still win against a regular 5.9 dodge i dont get it? what about torque?

RE: 14.40s @ 94mph.
^^Your correct, torque more important with a truck than hp
In 01 when my 5.9 was bone stock (all bolt ons/no boost/bottle) ran a best of 13.99 et(3860lbs race wt). Software was estimating 250/335 at the wheels. Dyno 3yrs later with 52tb, m1, rt+10 cam, 1.7rr made 270/303 at the wheels yet ran 2 tenths slower (14.18/3800lbs even approx)due to less torque. Most of it was off the line. Before avg 60' of 1.95 (1.91 best) w/stock 5.9 but modded it slowed to 2.05 avg (1.96 best)

RM, Im having trouble locating a 2800-3000 converter, 11" preferably. Any idea who makes one? TCI has one but not lock up. Unless you know if the 47rh converters are interchangable with the 46re?

Yup APS makes a 2800 rpm stall and a 3000rpm stall for these trucks. I can't like you as APS's site keeps APSprecision.com at the top the whole time but go to that site then highlight products and in the drop down menu go to transmission products then torque converters. Click there then scroll down on that page to see the prices and options.

Yeah I don't know what the size is on that one from APS I just know Wanye was great to deal with when I dealt with him. I also don't know what prices are good or not I just thought I'd show you that since they had one.
