I'd say the truck can hope for mid 7's... which would translate to 11-12 in a quarter mile. That would be pretty good!

You can usually figure an 1/8th mile time as about 2/3rds of the quarter mile time.... so you're talking about a truck that can turn 8's and 9's in a quarter to do a 5 in the 1/8th.

IDK about that, those diesel trucks can really rip without much work... a couple of years back there was a guy who would run his 4x4 service truck at the local 1/4 mile... it was this horribly ugly faded red '93 dodge with the cummins turbo diesel engine and a 5 speed stick... we talked to him, he had some work done to it, he did'int want to go into detail other than turning up the stock injection pump and straight piping it, but he was running consistant 10.90's with the damn thing, and this was with a compressor, welder and tools in the back!
