Not a chance..... The Hemi Durango is growing on me though.

 

and this is why I am not going to the performance side of the truck.
How'd I feel to spend a lot of money trying to mod my truck and getting it beat by something that spent maybe a 1/4 of what I spent.

 

So I was bored and found this post interesting so I decided to do a little reasearch:

I used a online horsepower calculator and entered in the numbers suplied on that time slip
and entered in the weight of 4950 lbs which I got from a magazine article for a RCSB Hemi Ram.
*Im just using this as a estimated weight*

My results:

weight- 4950 lbs
trap speed of- 99.05 mph
equals- 375.4 HP

this seems amazingly unbelievable to me, with his amount of mods.

heres the hp calculator site i used:

oh well, if thats what he says. I guess... lucky him.

 

the time is very impressive but why is he the only hemi with these sort of times, not calling BS but his times are close to a second better than any one else over there

 

thats exactly where i am at.

aren't those 5.7's dynoing at something like 250rwhp?

i will be watching this thread, i am anxious to know if it is true. i suppose if the DA was like -1500 maybe.

 

i think i saw in a hot rod they dynoed at 250 something too. Maybe it was Truckin. Any one think he snuck in a 50shot?

I did the hp calc at DSM and gave the Hemi the benifit of only weighing 4500lbs with driver and came up with 345rwhp. Thats basicaly 100 over stock. Im ready to throw the flag. There is NO way to get 100 more rwhp without something more than what he says he has.

 

I also heard that track where he ran has an inclination of 8* to his advantage. I wonder if that helps any?

 

wouldnt an incline mean he would be running slighly up hill?
maybe im just thinking backward.

 

Right... I probably had it backwords. It would be a decline from his point of view.
