How much horsepower would it take?
By Jay - 05/02/2004 10:19:12 AM; IP 207.69.139.9
I have a 68 f100 shortbed with a fairly strong 390. This truck ran 13.90's in the quarter literally smoking the tires all the way through first gear. I had to get in and out of the gas to keep the spin down and that was with 17 lbs of air in the tires. Just curious if you guys new how much HP it would take to make a truck of 3800+ lbs run in the 13's. I honestly think with slicks I could of gotten in the low 13's. Just curious.
This thread, so far...
