Default ran a vortecmax

Ran one on the interstate from 70mph, he hits it when I am just minding my own business and puts a truck length on me, I end up getting him by a few lengths, and to top it off I had a load of lumber in the back of my truck.LOL Wife laughed at him when I come rolling past him.

I just dont understand how you are running those times with those mods in a 4.8. That 1/4th time estimates your RWHP at 314. I just dont see how that's possible in a stock cam 4.8

Weight reduction mostly. It went 15.1 with 20s and full weight though. He hit fuel cut off when I got on the side of him, then it was just embarrassing for him. I was like, ohhhh speed limiter, doesnt that suck.LOL. He was on some 22s it looked like, and had exhaust at least. But damn, I had a load of lumber and a passenger, and he initiated the run. He wouldnt even look over as I was coming around.LOL

What exact weight reduction have you done? Did you remove the body at the track and just run the truck with a frame and driver's seat? lol.


j/k!!!
