Some non-scientific power data

[TruckZor]

Well, I raced my brother's G35 sedan last night. We were neck and neck with him just slightly edging me out at just over 120 miles per hour. The race was from a dead stop.

By my calculations 3200/260 = 12.3 pounds per HP (G35)

My truck weighs 6000 lbs so 6000/12.3 = 488 HP (Avy)

I have a lot of extra equipment inside and I had just filled up the tank. I don't know the actual race weights...I'm only estimating the weight of each vehicle without passengers. My brother did have an extra passenger but she's tiny.

If anything, it would need more horsepower than that to overcome the SERIOUS aerodynamic disadvantage. My brother's car has a drag coefficient of .26 and with the aero package he has zero lift at 100 mph.

I'm sure that the 45 degree air helped me more than him but one thing is for sure...my truck was making ridiculous power last night.

Glad to see she's spankin again!! Just put my 3.1 pulley on last night. Can you say holy s@#t!!! I don't have a boost guage installed yet so Iam not sure on the exact boost level and I am at 5400ft, but it is noticably faster than with the 3.4 pulley. I will have to get it over to a dyno shop to find out the exact specs. Never thought a 6500 pig could be such a blast to drive.
