Guess Rob is going to have to use tune #5 on his DSP.
I guess so. Always heard it has a little more in it haha
You couldn't be more wrong Pat... 2495 was the number prior to the bottles LOL :hug:
Congrats :thumb: Very impressive.
This is good for the sport.

:roflmao:
Impressive run for sure , congrats the there crew as getting a truck is the 9's is no easy task regardless of the platform !!
We are coming out swinging this year we'll see how we fair compared to the competition :nunck::box:
Congrats to all who are involved.
It is good for the sport and just makes others push that much harder to go faster.

Yeah i agree, spray or no spray, it tough to set up the chassis for a 9 second pass, you can have all the power in the world but if you cant get it to the ground it useless.
I have no doubt in my mind that Seth Sullivan wouldnt have already made an 8 second pass in the smitty racing truck if they could get the power to the ground.

It looked like the truck has lexan windows. If it fiberglass and lexan there must be alot of ballast somewhere. Maybe that is helping. Strategicly placing the weight in the chassis. What is the fastest fuel only ford. It seems any ford with decent #'s or et's has lots of spray. I hear how tough their motors are, but it seems most that you see are chancing it on a couple hundred hp of spray. It would be cool to have a fuel only class.
Nasty! Unbelievable that they do that on STOCK rods! Wild!!
Wonder how much faster, realistically, some of the top dmaxes could go on the squeeze??

I don't know. All I know is he came down to Texas for the NHRDA race last year and raced in Super Street (same as me). We were talking in the staging lanes. I don't remember the exact weight he said, but I want to say he told me it weighed somewhere around 6700 #s. I didn't see how it was possible being a regular cab pickup with a totally stripped out interior, but that's what he said. Oh yeah, I beat him in the finals too

My buddy had one and I couldn't believe his regular cab was heavier than my cc sb lbz i had. Without his gate and spare he was 7200#' and my lbz the same way was 7000#'s. Is he running drag radials in that video?
Helping out a friend of mine build a puller out of a new Ford and I can understand why they are so heavy. The Frames on those things are INSANELY THICK. They might as well have 2-3 frames worth compared to the 80's trucks.
