Regular cabs and sports cars

How about adding more to the topic then just the same ol same ol typical drag race........
How about cornering, stopping, G's......things that really make driving fun. Now of course, a pick-up will never post up road track times a "sports car" will, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun trying to keep up......that's what I have plan for ol shorty

What's the very least anyone has gotten a RCSB down to and still been able to use it to some extent?

I believe you'd be able to shave a ton of weight off, including drivetain parts......the beauty of air bags, assuming you are talking about weight right?

Yes, weight. I know you could probably lose a lot off of the front swapping to something like F150 spindles and a-arms.

I guess you could back-half and still use the bed a little, but that's a lot of work for some weight reduction.

Yup....lose the metal hood, front and rear fenders for fiberglass/carbon fiber. Lose the heavy 10.5 Sterling axle for a light weight 9" from Currie or like company.....however, maybe not too much in the rear as its nose heavy as $hit anyway......maybe move the motor back a few inches, but thats alot of fab

If your gonna keep it streetable. Getting to 5500 is fairly easy with a short bed. Getting the weight off the front end is the hard part. There is more weight on the front axle of my truck, than most sports cars weigh.

If you are just tuned and deleted, you won't walk away from a new gt, or a new ss camaro, you might hang with them decently though. Something with a little more stank to it is gonna put the hurtin on ya. Hell, a pullied, tuned, full exhaust '03-'04 cobra is still a 120 trap speed car. I put the hurtin on one last night til about 100mph before he caught me lol. The street is a great equalizer, guy I know has a ccsb duramax that runs 8.0's in the 1/8th, with just efi live, exhaust, and a modded stock turbo..batmowheel, housing, etc. He is 2wd and with caltracs and stock tires he has gone 8.0 in the 1/8th and 12.7 on his only full 1/4 mile pass, but spun pretty bad. Should go 12.40's...anyhow, on the track, if he can get it to 60', he would be a good hard run for my stock motor 3v mustang gt..from a roll..we've ran from a roll..I steadily pull away as soon as we hit it.

I guess if you plan to walk a 110mph trap car on the streets from a roll, you're gonna need to trap 114ish due to the fact that most newer sports cars trap way high for given e.t.'s as they seem to be pulling harder midrange and up top. Running 12.9@103 mph isnt gonna do a lot on the streets these days.

well would gearing change anything on the highway? I dont pull much and want to use the truck as a DD. Maybe a 3.31:1 would be a little better for highway pulls. Or something higher maybe? Has anyone gone that high of a gear in a street diesel?

Jeff@Spartan · Jan 13, 2014

3.31 is the highest Ford makes I'm pretty sure. That's a tall gear though.

With 3.55's with a tuned and deleted 6.4 ccsb 2wd you can play with Camaros ss and some 5.0 autos but if they have anything done at all with a good driver they walk right away above 80. But if you keep a good tire under it and ease into it and let it hook it will take off like no 4wd IMO as far as tuned and deleted. You'd have to have JGon's power and 4wd to really put it on one. But you're still pushing a brick down the highway.

Who is JGon? What are his #s?

He has Spatel23's old truck. It's a 1000 HP truck fuel only

With a single cab, it would probably only take compounds and 210's or so, right? I mean, UNBROKEN used to always talk about waxing sports cars in a heavy ass ccsb with his Cummings.

Wasn't that close to a 900HP truck IIRC???

LovinPSDs · Jan 14, 2014

If your going from a roll, spray the hell out of it!!

Isn't there aroung 700-725 hp capable out of stock injectors on spray?

Mike@MPD · Jan 14, 2014

66 88 compounds and spray. Fast spooling. But you will need a lot of tire. Craigs truck will blow the tires off at 80

Man a 6.4 sounds good with a single.......

JAP · Jan 14, 2014

I don't know what he dyno'd... Just saying that it was probably over 7500 easily. If you could get a truck under 4000, you would need quite a bit less.
