  So let's hear it. What's your best ET and mph at the track? Was it eighth-mile or quarter? And were you in a Ford, Chevy, or Dodge? Feel free to let us know your mods, year of the truck, and its weight (if you have it)...

6. 99mph? That a typo?

7. No typo, that's my best estimate. No boost launch to save my single disk clutch, then row the gears, and when I pass the traps I glance down at the speedometer and it was right around 95mph, figure in oversize tires at that speed is an additional 3.8mph so 98.8mph I rounded off. No time slips where I'm from, I call it a brush race like you guys call brush pulls. They just write the E.T. on the windshield and you guess everything else.

8. That's crazy!! You need to get to a dyno!

9. More specifically, I need to find a load cell dyno. None are really close by though. On the last inertia dyno, I made 378hp at 38psi boost. Not enough load, I was hitting 65psi on the streets at the time. They said the rollers only weighed 2000 lbs.
