[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1029121, member: 52972"] To give your truck enough HP for 11 or 12 second runs, you will likely destroy any roadworthy reliability. The truck is very heavy and would require all the possible HP mods you mentioned and then some to get the 500-600 HP necessary to move the truck down the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds or less. If you manage to get that much HP out of that 4.6 V8 you would need to replace the entire driveline since the transmission and rear end would never take that kind of HP...at least not for very long. I would think that 14 second ET's would be a more realistic goal and would be considered a pretty fast truck. Even that would be very expensive, but the truck could retain much of it's reliability and driveability on the street. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
