RE: Modification suggestions?

I get ya. Sounds like fun actually. If I didn't have a quad cab, I might think about trying it... the Q.C. is soo heavy and long I doubt it will do much.

A truck spinning the tires doesn't reallysay toomuch. Our old inline 6 fullsize blazer can do thattoo, butthat run 18's on a good day.

Stock we're barely trapping 80 mph. 235 HP+4900 lbs=struggling in my book.These TRUCKS do have a nice torque curve though which makes it a good towing machine. But that's about it.

RE: Modification suggestions?

Wow, I have no problem getting to 80mph with my truck. Hell, I haven't had problems getting to 90mph. I'm surprised I haven't gotten any tickets since it runs quiet and smooth. There are times I just didn't realize I'd hit 90. I could probably hit 120mph if I wanted to push it, and I have AWD which makes the truck a little bit heavier.

Um, they hit 115 for sure... but your nose is really bouncing at any small bump. I do not suggest it to anyone... I wanted to see what this baby had, and I got scared and pulled out of it at 115. My 'stang will do 155... and it is stable at speed. Gotta love a supercharged 302 bored .040 over. lol

And that 155 is not a guess, we have a dakotadigital guage pack in it. digital guages are the shizzle.

the stang will run 10.20's consistent. with N20 it hits high 9's. I would have to dig up a slip to see trap speeds.

Remember, these trucks weren't meant to be dragged raced, unless you do your own mods. They're mostly meant to haul and tow stuff. Since they can haul over 6000lbs, I'm not complaining too much.
