the bottom line is there are no mid/high FI hp RC's out there right now... therefore, the 10% of us who i would consider "racers" (jack, jerry, rick, scott, justin, myself... i know there's more) aren't in vehicles that are even capable of this. when tony had the tt's on the black truck, i believe he went 11.2 BUT that wasn't on the big tune... so i have no reason to believe that truck wouldn't have been in the 10's... but that'd be with around 1,000 hp in a full weight truck with slicks... getting 3 tons to go fast isn't cheap:creep:
yeah, but i'm not willing to go through your street trim/race trim packages at all... i'm talking bolt on slicks and go... in a full weight truck...
First off, our trucks don't weigh 3 tons. Although yours might with the tool box full of tools but the rest of us are within a few hundred pounds of a stock L (4800 vs 5000).
not all engine mods run equal at the track. There's tons of variables, and with the RC there's the manual transmission. Trucks with my mods an an auto would be .5 quicker or close with a Properly stalled auto.
On another note, remember weight reduction. Lots of L's use it. Everythig from fiber glass leafs, smaller batteries, bogarts and the list goes on. I don't see many 10'a doing that. And weight Reduction is just one variable.
I would guess most racy street driven L's are around 4500 pounds. It shouldn't take 300 extra horsepower to put a '10 into the tens. Especially considering how easy it is to bring a '10 down to the 4800 range and still be 100% streetable.
How much do the ten second L's weigh?
