This is RM_Indy's website: http://www.rm-indy.com/

He has a 360 in his truck but you can sort of gauge how you will do compared to him. If you scroll about mid-way down the first page he lists his times and modifications for every year he has had the truck, so you can see what type of time you can expect to have compared to his. Like I said though his is a 360 so no matter what you will always be a little behind, unless you go for a 408...............[sm=happybounce.gif]

cut some weight. on a huge heavy truck, its very easy to lose a few hundred pounds. remember, you're in search of that elusive low power/weight ratio...

yes... it will get you going in the right direction. setup the flowmaster to be dual 2.5" out from a single in. Yank off the intake manifold and do the intake mods to it. what you need is top end flow, in getting there you can kiss your mileage & low end torque good buy until you get a different setup. upgrade the K&N filter to something up to the 6x9 filter

edit: you dont say what your truck configuration is... 4x4 2x4, std cab qc etc... it helps to know.

Short or long bed....oh and what gears does you rear diff have (PLEASE DON"T SAY STOCK) cause its good to know.

BTW, I won't recommend a single mod that I haven't tryed myself and seen some benefit to. Oh and keep in mind you are racing a nose heavy barge with the aerodynamics of a loaf of bread....

How is that even POSSIBLE?? V6 beats V6 + 2 cylinders ...

You got a tool box in the bed or something ... filled with concrete?

Seriouslyt ... something's not right. You got a Death Flash on that bad boy?
