Anyone with a similar set up (2005 FX4 CC SB) know what the curb weight of this truck is? I can guesstimate the adds for wheels, tires, etc but need factory curb weight. thanks...

I would guess that the factory curb weight of your truck was 7700-7900lbs.

Now, I bet its over 8,000 pretty easy. At least I know my 2000 ccsb lariat is and its a similar size.

Mine with no spare and hardly anything in the truck with my bumper and me (210) weighs right at 7950.

Don't use ET to calculate. Use trap speed. Its usually more accurate.

Jap the calculator I used takes both et and mph. Not sure how an 1/8 mi calc stacks up to a 1/4 one but who knows. I'd like to make a 1/4 pass to compare the two

I'm guessing 8.3

nope...that's the weird part.

8.6 with a 1.9 60' @ only 78 mph. I could only launch at around 10 psi...any more and I pushed through the brakes. it was only my 4th pass with this setup but it was 105 degrees and I hot lapped 3 passes so I let it rest for a while...then started drinking so didn't race again. I know with a few more passes it'll get to the low 8's but I need better tires so I can cut a faster 60.

here's the hp calc I used...not sure how it came up with 558 but that's what it spit out. I think that number would be alot more realistic with a 8.3 like you said.
