I know.
It surprised me.
Power comes in very quickly. I have been hot rodding since about 1960 and built a 530 hp 428FE for a 1972 F250 I once had. It has been awhile since I had a quick pickup.
Our Falcon drag car is set up with drag slicks, spool, trick suspension, and does not spin the tires unless the track has not been prepped. And that is with over 1000 hp, But again it is set up for the track.
So I was surprised by the lack of traction with only 480 hp. and 1000 ft, lbs of torque with our pickup.
I might be able to spin the tires with a stock tune, but most of the time I have my dog in the truck so I baby the pickup off the line and around corners, not to upset our dog.
When I said upset, I mean throwing him around in the back seat.
Slow to accelerate and slow to stop.
Any of you spin the tires, on purpose or accident with the stock 400 hp and 800 torque on dry pavement, in a straight line?
