You're not going to get one specific answer that you can point to and say, "Hey my truck does the 1/4 mile in ----seconds at ---- mph until you take it to the track and drive it yourself. The numbers posted on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt, especially those on "forums" with no track slips or videos to back up the claim....

Even car and truck magazines get different numbers on the same vehicles......

There are alot of factors that will determine your 1/4 mi time. Your launch is the biggest factor. are you going to drive it in 4wd or in 2wd. what is the stall for your TC? Don't expect to go as fast as some people do. Expect your truck to be a little slower than what people post up. How much drag racing experiance have you had?

or 2wd wich gives u more power to the 2 wheels

depends on whether or not they have traction issues...
i lost to a diesel ram that ran 12.15@110mph. running 4wd. it was sick. but he said he has to run 4wd or he cant hook it up...he said hes been in the mid 11s...the 12.15 was on 40" tires.

Actually, my truck has all wheel drive, five speed automatic, 3.92 axle ratio with limited slip rear end. I was only looking to get an idea of what my truck might run in the quarter mile. My local dragstrip won't be open until about April. We already have snow on the ground.

Thanks,
Rick
