D150 with a RV 440, just to see what it will run

question: Would you expect an RV440 in a D150 with somewhat of a "stall" (2800 ?) and headers to beat a stock 5.9 magnum (4bbl/headers) in a full size '89 van with bed, table, and chairs, and a towing torque converter??? I promise you the van is WAY heavier.



The van will run 15.4's-15.5's in the 1/4, and 9.9's in the 1/8.

I’ll take the 5.9 magnum all day long and twice on Sunday.

In the heavy, much heavier van .... with much less converter.... ok ! :)
Maybe this will be the first test. Race it against the van ..... (I did put the eddy carb on the van since it's went down the track). Not sure if that changed any of the performance.
