Absolutely...the 5.9 you SHOULD have says CUMMINS on it, and only has 6 cylinders!

With a 5.9 gasser...I think I'm having relapses...bill collectors, debt notices...but I got a heavy fast car with too small a motor!

Personally, I'm glad its not me this time.

Has anybody been to the track with thier 5.9's? I havent been to the track since I sold my GTO to buy a house. Has anybody got in the 14's with a quad 4x4 without juice?
What do these trucks run stock?

AlabamaRam95 has a thread where he posted time slips before some upgrades and after. check out the 2nd Gen sectionand look for the thread "Went to the track tonight..."

I found this caculator which should give you an accurate et based on your trucks weight and horsepower, but I'm not smart enough to make it work.

ET= ((weight/hp)^.333) *.5825

I know you cube the division of the weight and horsepower but don't know what to do with the .333 and the * .5285.

Welcome to DF....unfortunatly there is a ton of posts on this, and in the 2nd gen FAQs it is also discussed.
I'm sure by now if you've looked over the site you have an idea.

HINT: It has the number 285 in the size

Cool I totaly understand, thank you. I have a 3in to a four in Flowmaster 40 single outlet. What would be a good choice in headers and what size collectors to replace the stock ones with.
