12 seconds on 37's??

Alright im shooting for some 12 second passes last this year or mid next year depending on money. So far i got alot of things considered to buy but would it be worth me to run a 6 inch lift and swap to smaller tires or to just drop the truck back down after i reach my power level i want. I looking for 800hp also.

Mpi twins
georend billet trans
flux 3's
air dog 150
smarty
quad pressure
quad commander guages
Evil twin cp3 or another one if someone will help me out

Alright now later i will be making some post about what size turbos and arp headstuds to use

Thanks for ur time

First thing that came to mind was in order to put that power down, you are going to need some traction bars. I am sure it is possible, but it would be an easier goal to achieve if you drop the truck back down and run some smaller tires. Those 37 inch Toyos are heavy, and with the Drive train angles with that kind of power, who knows? Also to push that HP maybe need to look at a 5 inch exhaust? Should be a fun project!!

oops i have everything at my work to build the bars just no time. And the exhaust i should have mentioned that 7 inch mitre stack is on order now!

Yep the goal i know is more acheable with lowering it but i like being the outsider of the bunch

you'll be well under high 12's with all that ! My truck runs 12's w/ 6" lift on 37's and is a mega. You can only go so fast with tires that big though and any faster than 12, the 6" lift would have to go.

Not true. Drake posted 11.13 @ 121. He runs a 6" with 37's. I've seen that truck run 11's personally.

I didn't say it couldn't be done. Try doing that 3 or 4 times and I bet the tranny will explode, no matter who's you have. Just my opinion.

My point though was... with a 6" lift, the crank height is too high and a serious track won't let you run that fast.

Err no!

That run was with the lift out and much smaller tires.
Best I heard was he was 11.85ish with the 37's......And I'd say it took a lot more than 800hp to do it!

Why the 6" lift? You can fit 37s easily with a 3-4" lift(heck some guys are running NO lift)
Id just want to run as little lift as possible to clear the tires.




Another thing youll need to check is the speed rating on the 37s youre going to run(just to be on the safe side)

Oops. I guess I posted my "correction" in the wrong thread...

It was in the 11's with the lift and tires, though. IIRC Drake posted an 11.80-ish run on this site...
I was at the track when it ran the 11.85 or whatever it was. Looked like a scary ride at the big end. I can understand the desire to drop it.

Looks like a nice setup! Nothing like big diesel horsepower & Torque.
