Id be happy with a successfull setup with half that much power, meaning a tranny that would handle it daily, better rear end, and im sure he can still squeeze 18+ mpg out of that too if he is easy on it. Gotta love that motor.

It's definately an impressive truck, regardless of what's under the hood.

Hmmm,so, a throttle body spacer and a fuel line magnet along with an ATS window sticker and I'm in the 10s in the 1/4? Who knew? No, wait, I need 3.55 gears. Add that to the list along with Toyo wheel/tire combo.

Yea i do have to say, im pretty surprised about the 3.55 gears with 37" tires, i kinda like my 3.73s, with 285s (33s pretty much)

That is Richard's problem .... finding a tranny that will hold the power his cummins makes. He's broken the tranny input shaft a number of times... can't seem to find one that is big and strong enough to hold. BTW it is an ATS tranny.

Here's a video of one of his 1/4 mile runs where the tranny input shaft broke at about the 1/8 mile mark, and he proceeded to coast to an 11.69 @ 90.99 mph, lmao.

It's a funny looking time with the real low trap speed... compare that to Snow White's 11.79 @ 118 mph (which was on #2 only... Snow White normally runs on NOS and has run an 11.12 ). Richard was going so damn fast by the 1/8 mile that he coasted the second half to a time that was still a 1/10th quicker than that run by David. Mind boggling what that truck of his can do.

Latest hp numbers for Maddog's truck that I know of are 1080 hp (uncorrected) as of a few weeks ago. He always runs on #2 only (diesel fuel only, no NOS).
