Update

Quick update...
Ran the truck last sunday at our last chance 1/4 mi tnt.

Truck still spins a good bit like it did the last time I raced it 6 yrs ago. Im convinced I have the wrong tire on it and wwill be trying a radial next spring.
It ran a 10.30, 10.31, 10.38 and 10.38 @132-134MPH.
The convertor is pretty tight (4000) and the best 60' was 1.54.
Felt great to be out testing w though

Not exactly the 9.90s I was hoping for but I think if I can get it to 60' itll be easily in the 9s.
Not bad first outing IMO for a 3800lb truck on OLD dot tires, pumpgas and thru mufflers

Heres the best part....


It gets driven whenever I want!

Thanks for the update and I think you have a 9.90 in it !

That's all well and good................... But will it haul all your winter wood?

I have a hidden receiver hitch I used to have on it when I pulled my modified to the roundy round track several yrs ago.... thinking I may put it back on so I can pull a lil enclosed trailer w. all my tools w me out to the racetrack

That's crazy fast for a driver truck on pump gas and thru the exhaust!!

Put some firewood in the back for traction. NASTY street truck FOsho.

No doubt in my mind it'll hit the 9's. Fast firewood haulin ford.... Freakin killer truck!

I luv this truck, thoroughly enjoyed reading about the build, and glad to see the updates and videos...enjoy it, well done Awesome build, keep the updates comming

Something to note....we sit at 2700ft elevation and typically have 4-5000 ft density altitude. Theres a few tenths right there if were to race it near sea level.
Hoping to get a chassis cert this winter so it can be a regular 9 sec player.

Thanks for all the support guys

That is a damn sweet truck and to run low 10's ... WOW !!! Well done

I know most cars that run 132-134 MPH run 9.80 to 9.90 ET's so yes if you get the 60' down it will run the number you are looking for, 60' needs to be 1.35 to 1.40 to get there, drag radials or ET streets should do it

Awesome.

You have way more et in that there thing with more stall and some good tires!!!

Just saw this post on here. Truck looks good sits nice and low and the wheels fit good up front with the new front suspension. I was afraid they were going sit in too far. Pump gas street trucks are where it's at.

Bad ass ride for sure

Great work, You have the mph to get you where you want keep up the work looks good

looks great man !!!

Went for alil drive yesterday before the next snowstorm hits....damn I love this truck!
The chassis is getting certified in Jan and I got a new pair of MT 275 pro radials waiting to go on. Cant wait for the track to open again!

Sweet man. Truck sounds good and has nice response from a pretty low rpm. Those tires should help a ton.

I took my truck out Christmas Day to figure out if I fixed my nitrous issue. It ended up being the microswitch.

When does your track generally reopen?
