James, I've seen this "False" sense of empowerment many times. People who aren't familiar with true performance think because they can smoke the "TIRE" (Singlular one-wheel wonder or possibly both twin-spin) tires they think they have a Tiger by the tail. TRUCKS: Because they are so light in the back, come with a middle of the road gears between 3.42-3.73, all combined with street radials account for the false sense of power.
The choice is yours on how bad you want to embarass the driver of the truck! I didn't even mention the facts surrounding what a 330HP SBC has to do to pull/push a 4500lb truck down the track. If he could get low 15's in the 1/4 I'd be surprised. JD
