I own my own business in custom tuning these things, with simple bolt ons (exhaust, and lift pump) they can push 500+ RWHP. What doesnt help them is they weigh upwards of 7000 lbs. That however means very good traction off the line which accounts for the low (relatively) 1/4 times. These same trucks also get 20+ mpg on the highway.

so what you're telling us is that trucks are good for straight line racing, and hauling things....

try taking that car autocrossing and tell us how fast that is now

im not trying to be an *** but i know people with hondas that run low 8's yet they arnt fast around the track...
