Yes he has/had a very powerful beast! Somewhere around 1500 hp?
I noticed Justin mention the Striker heads and I remember you had those !Yes, the truck turned out really well.
I sold Dom the Striker-R (race) cylinder heads for that build. It made wicked power, with more in it for sure but the issue being the stock block, which is "squirmy" under serious boost.
Dom phoned me about a year ago, but I haven't heard from him lately. So, not sure where that truck lives.
No idea what the weight of Doms truck was , but it sure looks gutted heavily.You can plug numbers into this for comparisons: https://goodcalculators.com/quarter-mile-calculator/
As far as race-weight goes (with driver), the late Trainman's vehicle was 4400 pounds (which ran 123 mph, I think). It had a fair amount of weight taken off.
I'm not sure what Dom's weighs now, but say it was 3900 (with driver). It would take around 2100 hp to run that m.p.h. in a 3900 pounder'
The calculations are more for cars as trucks push a LOT of air which takes considerable power to overcome.
If you play around with the calculator, it is interesting though. The MPH section is the important one.

OMG!! That's incredible!I just asked Dom and he said 3750 on it's own, DRY weight (so no fluids, no driver).
Add 125+ lbs. for fluids and another 200 for the average driver.
Total approx. 4075 race ready.
So to recalculate, the truck was making north of 2100 horspower.
BUT, stay tuned !
The recent head mods and (?) have a new target goal of 3000 HP wheel!!
High sixes at over 200 mph if all goes as planned.
OMG!! That's incredible!
So i take it Dom still has the beast? It's really a beautiful truck
Go Dom! He's a character for sure.Yes and like the 6 Million Dollar Man, he wants it to be- Better, Stronger, Faster.
Damn ,, what heads or mods are going to get him in the 6 zoneI just asked Dom and he said 3750 on it's own, DRY weight (so no fluids, no driver).

How must boost is he running no and wondering how much more can the engine take …. 3000 hp is massive , plus the amount from 2100 hp to 3000 .The Strikers will produce the required horsepower numbers without issue and can also be ported for more power, if required.
So typically more boost with more fuel and...hang on!!
