It was a great weekend, I used A LOT of gas but it was a great time.

My truck put down 265 horse and 308 torque... which was pretty dissapointing. There was another guy with the same truck as me but he has a spartan cam... he put down 300 hp and 300 torque. The dynos were done on a loaded Mustang dyno...




Enyoy!!

i'm glad some of you guys think my numbers were actually good... makes me feel a little better..
AF- where did you get the stock number of 245 to the wheels? is that just a calculation with the drivetrain loss? you gotta get your truck on a dyno... i wanna see what that thing puts down..

yeah 245 is just a calculation based on the drivetrain loss. To be honest, no two trucks are the same. For whatever reasons, two identical engines might put down 20 crank horsepower difference.

I'd like to get on a dyno, but there isnt one anywhere around here. I'd estimate a little over 300 to the wheels though (prob not more than 320ish??). Its really hard to say

Your numbers are not bad. If you use the typical drivetrain loss percentage that is used on these trucks of 28%, that would mean your truck is putting out 368hp (about) at the crank.
