Ordered an up-to-date Snell helmet. Amazing how fast 10 years goes. Also, ordered some BB header gaskets, and threw in another gasket just to get my free shipping. Almost always go through Summit, but this time Jegs was the winner.

 

[TT5.9mag]

That would be fun and that's generous of you... but I think we are close to 6 hours apart.

I don't think I've ever mentioned "off the trailer". Others have and I've always said best run of the day. Trying to get the 440 a fair opportunity to show us whatever it is it may have... LOL

You can run it as many times as it takes to get to the 16.9.

Hey look I’m finally at the top of a list!!!

What helmet do you like? I need to get one also.

This is the first time I’ve ever been 1.6 seconds faster than anyone

Yall might wanna look up the curb weight on that truck. It's pretty light.

Mine is 3640 with a half tank of fuel.

Sounds about right. The book info says 3800-4200 GVWR, but that includes a full tank and all the bed can hold weight wise.

Cheapest they offer.... for the few times I go, I'm not buying a 500 dollar helmet. If you select white, the price drops 20 bucks. So i gave 153.00 https://www.jegs.com/p/Zamp-Racing/...5D-DOT/13572247/10002/-1?defaultItem=13461232

Meh .... not with all the bed can hold. I think the average long bed with a small block would weigh about 3800-3900 with PS, PB, spare and a step bumper which was pretty standard.

They vary greatly. Gladys for example, has a GVWR of 8100 pounds. Her curb weight is somewhere between 6500-7000. She's a heavy girl.

I think there is two GVW's given. Front axle, rear axle. I think mine still has the sticker that would tell.... I could look

 

[318willrun]

All this about weight, I think I'm at about 3600 now, by itself. I did so many changes I'd have to weigh it again to get it exact. Should be about 3700 with the BB, making it about 3900 at the start line. It's no 2800 lbs race A-body LOL

 

[jrc4y4]

Maybe I overshot it with the 15.3. I’m hoping that rusty cylinder leaks power lol.

 

[Turbo440Dart]

The anticipation is killing me. What time does spring start over there, about 5pm?

 

[Garrett Ellison]

After doing some more research on what one of these late motorhome engines put out on the dyno with only an intake, headers, and a 750 brawler, this is starting to get really interesting... The 60 foot and eighth mile potential is looking really good here.

Usually three. Front, rear and total. That's how the data tag is on Gladys.

 

[fishmens67]

What has the research found?

What research?? ... Oh, above. START QUOTING PPL !!!

 

[RustyRatRod]

Here's some of it. Same engine with a 202-206 @.050 cam, intake, 750 holley and headers.

 

[fishmens67]

START QUOTING PPL !!!

Aye!!, Aye!!!!, Sir!!!!!!!

 

[Garrett Ellison]

Ask and Ye shall receive! Dyno results at the 2 minute mark. Stock cam and pistons .155 below deck, fresh guides and valve springs.

These figures start making it look like a near dead heat with the magnum.
