I thought maybe you driving his truck like you stole it would be a big difference. Lol
I think the main reason the high powered trucks have trouble is driver skill. Brad (Love this truck) is a great kid, but little experience drag racing. Back in Oct, 2009 both Brad and I were at Fontana. On the same day, same heat and within minutes of each other Brad ran a 12.47 @115 and I ran 12.45 @ 111. Brad had a dyno sheet of about 655 rwhp and I had laid down 502 rwhp NA. My truck had both seats and stock doors at the time so both trucks were close in weight ( I was minus my tailgate). Brad had his full slicks and I was on drag radials. So there is a good comparison, same track, same day, same time and 150 HP difference , and close in et. Biggest variable... Driver mod.

man sounds like a bunch of women trying to say which tampon is better.
want to know who is fastest? figure up a central spot , and everyone meet , an race.
wait, I forget, most will not drive over 50 miles from there house for a gtg or run a 1/8 mile track because they depend on hp to win over driver ability to get off the line

I'm down for a Mid country meet, I really wanted PCB, I think my truck would kick ass, especially 1/8th mile. Not to brag but I cut some good reaction times. Or redlight,lol
456 gears,6 speed manual trans and at 2000 rpm I'm over 600 lbs of torque at the wheels in a truck. That is not the best combo for drag racing. Thats why I road race it. I've said this before. If you want to drag race get any car and a nice big V8 and have fun.
Anybody in the Portland area I'll be at PIR on Monday Aug. 1st. I get 5 20 min. sessions on the track. Bring your helmet and I'll take you for a ride.
LOL we will see next year, talking with bobby about a 1/4 mile track for all the whiners
I drag race my wifes SRT Jeep and all 3 of my kids raced jr dragsters. I love drag racing. But I also love trucks. I have drag race my truck but all I did was break parts. So one day I went road racing and the truck is way better on a road course. So now when I want to play its on a road course.
Buy a 350Z ? No thanks. A Viper or a Vette. Maybe even a M3. Was at the track yesterday and the fastest cars where 2 Vettes,2 Porsches and a 2010 M3. They all pasted the 1 370Z that was there.
It don't bother me either way, I don't bullshit at the track,1/8 or1/4 mile. Looks like a lot of builds going on, hopefully not a bunch of dyno queens that don't run. JK
