I couldnt really find anything on the subject. Has anyone made one fast 12s, even 13s. Is the trans too weak even built up?
Are there any fast vans?

You and me both!
Heres what I'm looking at:
Weighed the van with a full tank of fuel(31gal) and some crap and me inside, 6180lbs. I'm pretty sure I can get it under 6000 race weight pretty easy. Loose the crap inside & pass seat, spare tire, jack, drop it to under 1/2 tank, etc
My lbz truck dynoed at 462rwhp/930tq. Emailed Nick, he said no problem getting the van to beat those numbers.
Just got a new(reman) trans in. Gotta get a few miles on it. Make sure it holds up to stock before I build it up some. If it cant hold the stock numbers, its getting yanked, again.
Called Merchant, might be putting an exhaust on it this week.
Get the tires to stick, and we'll see what it can do!

Thse motors aren't intercooled right? But I am asumeing you can break the 500rwhp mark pretty easy
I'm thinking it does have an intercooler. Might not be the same as in the truck tho.
Hmm my dad and I thought of making a fast duramax van, because he has always drove vans before he got a truck, and that would be awesome to have a fast van
