Just a wee small block I tell ya!! And after I got my tech refunded my idiotic buddies started circulating this photoshopped pic just to try to get me deeper into trouble!!!

WORSE! Rumors run around of course, and the first attempt to get through tech left me with two tech guys crawling around giving me a "list" of sorts- I had to pull the propane tanks, empty my water systems, remove my drawers, fasten the oven door shut etc etc etc. So I did it, all of it. I went back to tech, they let me buy a tech card, then someone from the tower comes running down telling me I can't buy a tech card because I won't be allowed to run. It was a Friday Night Street Drags. After some back and forth bickering the top tech guy comes over and tells me I can't run tonight, and a few excuses later he seems to stick to "You'll tear up the starting pad". LOL!!!!!!!!! I tell him it couldn't possibly spin, it's a dually rear, and it's only 360 cubes!! They wouldn't let me run, and refunded my money. I then heard through friends some of the tech guys thought I was a lot faster than I was "claiming". IT'S A MOTORHOME!! If I got 17s I would be rolling around laughing, I guess rumors were going around and getting my motorhome faster and faster in imaginaryland. I went back again with a buddy who knows the guys who run the track. Bought my tech card, pulled up to tech, the guy in my lane wouldn't tech it, the second guy comes over and starts more or less telling us he doesn't think I'll be able to run, as the first tech guy heads up to the tower. Ron Farmer comes down, tells me I had "better not of bought a tech card".... lol and tells me I can't run. We ask WHY??? He tells us..... "One of the tech guys watched you pull the wheels and it's too dangerous, you need to use something to limit the front end travel before you'll be allowed to try to pass tech." I then tell him I have BUNNY HOPPED my motorhome, and though it will pull the front end up very high, it's not an actual "wheelie", I have to bounce it to get the nose up. He shakes his head and says "Nope, the tech SAW YOU." LOL It does NOT "wheelie", but the front will bounce sky high, which is what he must have seen. He told me if I had a device to limit front end travel I could run. We stared at Farmer, stared at each other and I asked him "Are you telling me I need wheelie bars on my MOTORHOME??!" He said Yup!. Silly as heck. I've since had back and forth emails with Farmer and he said I could run it at the Truck Drags, which I might do. It won't pull the wheels from a standing start, and if it did it wouldn't be very high or for more than a foot or two, and it won't be fast. Might beat a few ricers, but it won't be running down any V8 cars or trucks!

I have no idea what was done to the truck to be honest, but it couldn't have been stock, the blower whine was loud. Maybe a loud gear drive, but it sure sounded like blower whine to me. I gotta go lose some more races! LOL!!! Bastards! I haven't been to the track yet, I've got people guessing all over the map, it will be interesting for sure. I have 3.08 gears out back so my 60 foot times might be closer to one minute than what you guys all do! I have a 440 Charger now too I'm gonna redo a bit and beat on at the track, hope to get it and the Jensen a few timeslips this summer. Don't know if I posted before but I took my motorhome out to Mission TWICE, and both times they refunded my money and wouldn't let me run!!!!!

Yeah, no... he got me!!!! He probably would have had me by 2+ lengths in the 1/4 mile... my Jensen feels pretty quick too but he was pulling on me.

Well..... I was out toolin in my Jensen.... and I hear a loud blower whine. I look around and I see a Ford Lightning pull behind me. I can hear his blower whine over my exhaust, it was bloody loud! He almost turns right, but at the last second gets behind me in the left turn lane, so I figured he wanted to run. We turn left, he gets beside me, and from about a 20 mph roll we hit it. I hit it slightly before he did, probably got a fender on him, pulled a little bit but then he started to pull me, we got up to about 80mph and my bumper was on his 1/4 panel. Pretty danged quick truck I think, though I've never timed my Jensen it seemed to pull pretty hard. Danged Ford surprised me!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your arm Chase, it SUCKS, but wow, sure love catching up on your truck!!!!!!! Can't wait to see what it runs! Looks impressive to say the least!

Hey guys!! Hahaha I've been on the road for almost a year, it runs pretty danged good. Pulls strong, drives better than I thought it would. Even goes half decent in half a foot of snow!!!!!!! And it doesn't drink fuel near as bad as I was expecting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NStpPLbRPL4 What has everybody been up to?!?!

YUP!!!!!!!!! I had some asshat in a grey Dodge Clubcab do the exact same thing to me while I was in my work van. He pulled into the far right turning lane so I let the kid in when we got across the intersection, being nice and all... then about 1/2 mile later he starts trying to tailgate the guy beside me, and 1/2 mile after that he swerves towards me thinking I'll slam on the brakes or something so he could get by... but I was IN MY WORK TRUCK. I just laughed at him while he's thinking he is all cool, then he fingers me, so I stick up my pointer finger and give it a twirl, as in "whoop-dee-doo".... Complete butt clown. If he stopped at the light I coulda let him know how cool he was, but oddly he ran the red light and was never to be seen again.... Probably 18 years old....

Breaking 120 mph too.... impressive to say the least! Congrats!

It depends on the individual cars IMO obviously..... We have a solid 12 second Skyline at our track, it's pretty impressive. We have a few low 12 second SRT4s. The modified SRT4 cars are pretty crazy. Most stock SRT4s are 13.9 to low 14s here (Mission Raceways) I've seen guys who have bragged about 12 second imports time after time and they come out to our Friday Night Street Drags and they run consistent 16-17 second 1/4 mile times.... many guys who have never been at a track have strange views of what they will run. One night at the track and they gain a whole new perspective.... We have a Datsun 240Z that runs in the 11s regularly here, it's the most impressive import that runs regularly here, for me at least... My Jensen will be in the import class when I take it, not domestic. LOL I'm sure my buddies will all be laughing at me!

Pretty danged quick! My buddy's ram is probably a high 14 / low 15 second truck from my seat of the pants calculator.... Are those new rams supposed to be low 14s or something? I saw two guys claim high 13s on a MoPar forum, but that's pretty quick for a stock truck I figured.... maybe a downhill track or something.....?

Surprising to me, my buddy's truck is fairly quick and we were driven away from. I would think 5-6 lengths pretty easily, and we didn't go 1/4 mile. It's the first time I've seen a brand new ram actually floor it. I don't know how quick my buddy's truck is, but it feels decent..... It's a quad cab 5.7 with some kind of fairly loud exhaust.

I just re-read the original post and can't believe my eyes! THREE HUNDRED AND NINETY horsepower on a chassis dyno?!?!?!?! That ain't stock by a long shot!!!!!!!!!!!

WS6 TransAm vs a completely stock truck??? I would think you got lucky, I've got a few buddies with LS1 and LS2 cars, they are pretty decent even at 60 feet out....

I don't know what is done to your truck but we raced a new one when I was in a buddy's 2006 Hemi Ram quadcab and it beat us pretty soundly, my buddy was surprised, he thought it would be pretty even- his truck is stock except he messed with his exhaust, the other truck looked stock to me...

At our track most WRXs I have seen (non-sti) run low 14s with some high 13s, but not many. We have quite a few mid to low 13 stis, and some modded cars are pretty quick. Am I the only guy who cannot stand the sound of the flattie Subarus? I plug my ears when they go by, worst sounding car I can think of! Quick, but the sound.....

I like the TBSS, they are quick even dead stock. Lots of guys are getting surprised at lights all over I bet.

I've actually seen a few guys claiming high 13 second slips for the new Ram R/T trucks. I have yet to see one out at the track though. I have never seen a stock Toyota under 14 flat, and my bosses kid has one that's a four door with the 381?hp engine that is about as far from impressive as one could get. He has had it for a couple of years+ and when he got it we all thought it would be quick, but it's not that great.

I find there is a lot of quick NEW muscle running around. Lots of late model cars that run 11s or 12s, many of the older musclecars need an owner/tuner that know what they are doing or they aren't as quick as many think, quite a few times anyways.....? Have you guys seen the Dodge Magnum that ran a 10.07 on Pass Time? It has gone 9.7? or 9.8s already and it weighs 4700 pounds!!!!!

I think straight comparisons to many vehicles as far as acceleration goes is a compliment in itself when it's a full size truck that can be used for work AND play... It's like guys who compare Japanese sport bikes to cars as far as I'm concerned... it's EASY to go fast in something that is cheap and lightweight, getting a 5000 pound + vehicle to run alongside sports cars ain't quite that easy..... Keeping within 2 lengths of a car that runs 11.40s is no small achievement in MY books... Great run!

I know what you mean, a Stage3 SRT4 is way faster than they have a right to be. LOL 11.40 is a pretty quick time though, nothing to hang your head about! Pretty danged quick! To stay within 2 lengths is quite an accomplishment for a full size truck IMO.

LOL I know guys with musclecars of ALL makes that hate SRT8 Jeeps.... nothing sucks worse than having a "STOCK JEEP" beat ya, whatever you are driving... They are just weird...

I just don't like the Subie sound, maybe it's just me. The sti's are quick little cars, but the exhaust sound goes against everything my ear drums represent! Good kill for sure IMO.

I only saw ONE 2010 Camaro SS last year run, it was an auto and mid 13s. 13.5 or 13.6, I can't remember. Guys who know how to launch and run these cars will get some much better times I'm sure.... ;)

I've raced a ton of late 1980/ early 1990 5.0 Mustangs, most when stock were mid-high 14 second cars if in LX form. Tossing a bit of timing at them and a lower Tstat would drop them down near a 14 flat. The GT was a bit heavier, but with even mild mods the car should be in the 13s IMO. A car running racing fuel would be a little more modified IMO, so I think you did pretty decently myself. If it had any mods worthy of the race gas it shoulda been a 12 second car, or danged close... Good run IMO to keep up to it.
