Ricky is 5000 with the seats.....

Steelhorse has gotten his to 46xx with everything out, same with Randy I think

Fred told me his is 5000 with him in it with everything out....even though his twin at 5400 runs the same times with the same mods

I'm really confused

thats what kinda strikes me as strange, Everyone boast about having the fastest ram or qc, or 2wd. No one says what they have done for weight reduction. I can put a motor in a shopping cart and say it's a ram 1500 and i will only weigh about 900 lbs.

4782 lbs for an ST with steel 17's, 1/2 tank gas, vinyl floor, no power options. Add weight for mudflaps. 4600 lbs in a quad cab would not be street legal

My 2wd, rcsb is a st. 17in wheels, removed spare and tailgate, dr's in back
weighted 4700 lbs last year at this time at Las Vegas, race weight . Sway bar removed, with moes' slapper bars on. I weigh 275, was in truck, so how about 4425lbs for truck only. Will weigh again next week on same scales for race wt. again.

Don't forget, I am a ST model.:D

Just weighed it....steer axle 3600 lb...drive axle 1260 lb. Total 4860 lbs. Undoubtedly the previous weight of 4980 lb. included swaybar, rear bumper, and hitch assembly. So I lost 120 lbs removing swaybar, rear bumper, and hitch assembly. If I remove backseat, tailgate, and the 1/2 tank gas truck should weigh in around 4800...throw my azz back in and it's around 5,030 lbs.

Thank you for wighing your truck the way you did. Thats the way everyone else should too.

3600 on the front and 1260 on the rears give you a 65/35 front to rear weight ratio.....Ouch! That helps with my ideas on making a QC launch better than they do.

ST for me too with the same track mods except I remove the passenger seat and console, and I have a roll pan. So if you're truck weighs 4425 I guesstimate mine at 4310ish?

on the old site steelhorse posted he got his truck to 46xx something, so i'd assume fred and other californians with the same mods and et are the same weight.

I could go to the dump and weigh it, but I doubt how accurate it would be. Honestly I never really cared how much it weighs, just concentrated on making it faster and removing weight where I could. Knowing how much it weighs isn't going to benefit me one bit, it'll never be car light so why care....

dline
03-15-2009, 11:00 PM
cause if your truck is heavier and faser than you know your making some hp

and a weight can also explain why someone is fast too

it also gives you an idea how much weight your able to pull off by seeing others people weight

I understand that, but the point I was making is I can't take any more weight off without getting drastic so who cares. I doubt I make anymore power then anyone else with my mods, just the tweaks and combo with lots of track time. The launch can make a huge difference.....

Oh I'm not even close, I weighed in at 5630 in street trim (20's) no spare and no gas.
On 17's drag radials, stripped down as much as I ever got it including all seats gone aside from the drivers seat I can just get at 5000 with me in it and out of gas.
Now I haven't ever taken off the step bars, roll bar, hitch, overload springs.. or bumpers though.
steelhorse is the lightest I know of ,he was under 5K lbs just dropping the spare and tailgate and I'd guess he outweighs me by at least 50-70ls

I never would have thought the cam was screwed up when I had used the same company for 5+ yrs with nothing but dead on cams. Better then comp and crane(may they rip)

When I got the cam in my hands and seen for myself, I made a public apologie to Sam on DT. If you can't get over that. Oh well, grow up. I feel bad the whole thing went down the way it did. It's over,,, let it go.

Think about this, 4x4 Rumble Bee, 392 SharaDon Stroker, How ever much boost you happen to run on any given day. 50 and a 30 shot of N2O and you are still slow by industry standards, There are SRT8 Jeeps with Bone stock 6.1s, with the edition of a Vortech Super Chargers running faster with 10 LBS of boost and the weight is very close to boot. How you guys have bamboozled people into thinking you know what you are doing is beyond comprehension. Every truck you have touched is slow for it's mods or broken down. The Transmissions you have tried to build are junk, The valve bodies are a total waste of money. Leading the way in Hemi Performance. LOL Stick to what the industry has already done follow someone else's formula for goig fast and you might stay in business.
The cam is small potato's compared to the un repairable damage you two have done. Why I ask.. Ego That's why, The Bible speaks of it often

Everyones truck is capable of a lower time. That's the truth.

Brad tried a couple of different gear ratios in his 9in. Did'nt workout. (been there)

But we could also talk about Lou, 550 shot,,, WTF was he thinking. Jmatt went faster with 250 less nitrous on a stock 6.1..... No wonder the motor blew.

sawcut64
03-17-2009, 04:04 AM
see this is what i hate. your truck is only as fast as it is. if you run a 14 because you were on street tires. you have a 14sec truck until you go out and run faster. i don't car if it has 1000hp if you can only run a traction limited 14sec pass your trucks only capable of running 14s. The whole thing has to work together not just have the motor make power.


Sorry that just bugs me when people say that.

True you ran what you ran, just makes me wonder what it could have run...

proudhemi
03-17-2009, 04:05 AM
I wouldn't say much lower. I'll definately admit it had a faster time in it, but he always had problems getting that truck to hook hard. Going by memory he 60'd in the low 1.7s(on a good run), throwing more power to it will only make it worse. I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. With the power he was making N/A and as light as his truck is he should be 60' much better than a 1.7, and I think that's the best he ever did even when everything was working right. So say he did hit it with the 300 shot with a good rearend, it's not gonna hook. IF he did some more suspension work it would, but if's could go on and on and on. Nothing away from Brad, I always liked him..

Brad is a good guy, I ran the n/a times and dont care who built the motor. Like everyone said the truck never hooked, I hooked pretty good one time, I think it was like a 1.64? Been a long time. It was still on the stock 9.25 and it needed to be a progressive shot. On spray if it hooked, yeah I know "if", the sharadon truck better up the boost and spray. Yeah, you SHOULDA started with a lighter 2wd. It is what it is though, yall got him even with the big weight disadvantage, so good job?

Jerry and I both like the fact that his truck is faster then everyone else with the extra weight. It proves, to even the most dim witted. We are making more HP.

There is no magic...... LOL That truck is slow for what it has done to it period. In case some didn't pass their math class a 392 has more cubes then a 6.1 liter. Glug Glug Glug. Have another drink...

Transmissions that didn't last..

I know there are a lot more, But these are the for sure failures....

If I had to guess I'd say the little yellow Rumble Bee has a few smoked transmissions that came out of that piece. I'm sure you all will deny any and all of what I have said. But most of us know this to be true....

Funny how you guys bash other vendors, Diablo and anyone your in direct competition with. The best part of it all is you two cater to the younger group of truck guys. Manipulate and use them to do your bidding.... You two guys are truly a piece of work. Your the one calling the shots, I guess this is the way you like it.... Lies and deceit..

Brad seemed pretty happy that his stage 2 trans lasted so long with the abuse he put it through. He also broke a hard part and he has been the only one to break a hard part. Matt smoked his trans with a smt6. So your left with a guy who built his own trans and 2 guys who have run trough a few stock trans too.

Meanwhile...There's at least 3 turbo trucks making way more power then those trucks that are running fine. All those trans's were installed at Sharadon though.

Try again

Well Brad absolutely NEVER did downshifts with that truck, he said that many times. Lots of guys toasted their trans with SMT6/PSC-1 not knowing any better. The problem I see with using Jerry's truck for R&D is it's unlike anyone else's and it doesn't get street miles to speak of. They say that their transmissions can hold up to his power, therefore they should hold up to anyone's. What about lots of part throttle miles and normal driving, Jerry needs to put a good 5000 street miles on his trans with a decent number of drag strip passes before they give it their seal of approval. Something tells me that part throttle driving puts some ugly wear on the transmission when tuners/mods and such are involved........

The sharadon truck is not impressive to me. Nothing to be cheerleading for.
And my buddy smoked a built trans way to fast, the stock lasted 10 times as long with more abuse.
This is not me bashing sharadon just stating some of my experiences. Nothing that has come from the inertia shop is worth cheerleading for either. Yall proceed, lol

Let talk transmissions.

Matt, SMT6 and negative #'s caused overdrive to go away. When the truck came up to us. I changed the #'s to positive and all the gears came back. Yes, there was damadge to the overdrive clutches. But what would you expect.

Gadier killed one with B&G. It's no wonder he's not useing B&G.

Brad broke a hard part.

Ricky,,,, He has something going on with his PCM (ask him) He recently PM'd me on DT and is changing his pcm because everytime he goes into 4th WOT his trans fails. Same thing he did to our trans. ( I still have the PM if needed)

Derrick. ASK him. He also changed his PCM. Magic... no more transmission problems. I told him to change his PCM before driveing on the last transmission. He didn't listen. It failed.

Yet it's our fault.... Get all the facts.

Well Brad absolutely NEVER did downshifts with that truck, he said that many times. Lots of guys toasted their trans with SMT6/PSC-1 not knowing any better. The problem I see with using Jerry's truck for R&D is it's unlike anyone else's and it doesn't get street miles to speak of. They say that their transmissions can hold up to his power, therefore they should hold up to anyone's. What about lots of part throttle miles and normal driving, Jerry needs to put a good 5000 street miles on his trans with a decent number of drag strip passes before they give it their seal of approval. Something tells me that part throttle driving puts some ugly wear on the transmission when tuners/mods and such are involved........

You bring up some very good points Sam.

Its a 426 on spray. In a jeep which is a totally different animal.

My point was the 426 is being swapped out after a year for a new 426 but the 392 has been taking an ass whoopin for 3 years and it just keeps on ticking

Okay didn't know that, BUT how many miles on the 426? Jerry probably doesn't have 5K on that 392.

The jeep ran 11.1. Its an impressive jeep no doubt but its like comparing a car to the truck they are completely different animals. Until there's another truck going faster with less I don't think there's much of an argument. A 5000lb truck running low 11s regardless of what's done is pretty damn impressive.

If you listen and look real hard you can hear the tranny slipping all the way down the track on the N2O run. Shot size was a 200 using a fogger, Now he has a builder Bill Nag1 so the tranny issues will not be a problem.

He first used a 350 shot and ran slower, Fuckin tranny. So he called me over and we dimised a better combo for the shot size and ran it once I believe.....

It's not Diablo that blows tranny's it's the user. And it looks like we have another brave one behind the computer.

Lets see three different pistons at three different times and it's not SCTs fault or SuperChips. Ok then it must be your fault. Somewhere in all of this is a big lie.

sorry david been working 12-16 hours a day all damn week. the lightest i have ever gotten it is 4690 at ennis. that was no tailgate, no spare, no step rails, no back seat, no passenger seat/console, no jack and 17's. oh and i did the shroud delete. now that was less than 3 weeks after the nationals and they are supposed to be certified for those events. a couple of weeks earlier with the same weight reduction and a couple of other things i used a cat scale and it said i was 4860. after talking to some people i was told that because of the way those scales are set up they are not accurate at all on passenger vehicles. and since randy's weighed the same at both ennis and houston i would have to say that the ennis scale was correct. with just my spare removed and my tailgate gone i wiegh 4990. hope that helps. i do plan on trying to get down to 4500 in the next couple of weeks just not sure i can i can only think of about 125 i can lose without removing a/c components and power steering stuff. sorry i took so long for me to see the tread but i'm here now and thats what counts.

So did anyone come up lighter than Mike (steelhorse) ?
Think he weighed in at 4630 last Sunday with him in it.
Which puts his truck at about 4350 with no driver an very little fuel.

Should be interesting next Sun. He's planning to do more weight reduction and maybe get close to 4100 lbs curb weight. That will put his race weight, him in it at hopefully less than 4400 lbs.

Wow thats lighter than i will ever get my regular cab 4x4.... He should get 12s for sure then.

If they can get that light why hasnt anyone got 12s yet?

what besides the obvious (tailgate, spare, center console) is he taking out to get that low?

RandTx
04-21-2009, 10:16 PM
His truck is light to start with.
We both:
take out back seats, console seat, passenger seat, tailgate, front sway bar, both running torque tubes no cats basically no exhaust.

(my truck in that form is about 5K me in it 4825 curb weight. That's with bumpers, hitch, roll bar, bed rug bed liner, step bars.)

My weigh that day was 4950 in time trial with the roll bar removed (had to replace the back glass and hadn't got it back on yet)
End of day 12 passes later after the finals and a little past empty I saw a 4910. (burned 40 lbs of fuel in 12 passes)

Anyway back to Mike's.
He takes out his bed liner. removes his step bars, used to take off his hitch and bumper but has a roll pan now.
That's probably 150 lbs of the 425 lbs difference. most of the remainder is just the difference between an 05 and 06
Although, I do have some options he doesn't.
Lets see I have power pedals, a 34 gallon gas tank, elec slider.electric seat, sirius unit... beyond that I think all all other options are the same.
There might only be about 300 lbs difference between the model years equipped the same.

randy how fat do you think i am or is your calculator broke i only wiegh 230 on a bad day and usually 225. that puts my curb wieght this past weekend at 4400 lbs. i have about 150 lbs i know i can drop or at least think i can drop so that would make this next weekend 4250.

Mickey doesn't weigh 280 lbs does he?!?! No way, maybe 230...maybe, if so his race weight was 4400 lbs.

I had a question for the light weight guys-with all the weight taken off of the back of the truck(tailgate,spare,rear bumper),is there any issue with not having enough weight over the rear wheels or any weight distribution problems? what i am getting at is-would that create a traction issue?

I asked that question becuase I have ran in the past with dr's and the infamous spring clamps(track only) with no wheel hop issues. Would keeping the tailgate on,but in the down position help a little?

steelhorse5778
04-22-2009, 04:28 AM
well to be fair in ansering that question i'm not so sure. i know i've personally taken alot of wieght of the rear end and have not noticed a big traction problem. part of that is because the QC have more wieght on the rear wheels especially on launch. now at the same time i have noticed that my truck spins the tires all the time on the street without me feeling a thing. next time i go to the track i'm going to chaulk my tires to find out for sure if i'm stickin or spinnin. oh an i have spring clamps on all the time.

let me re phrase, they are heavier and longer they are the more stable, is that better? i mean if the wheelbase was different on 2 EQUAL weight vehicles than it would make a more substantial difference, but since the QCs are heavier wouldnt that mean they have more weight on the rear axel? Seriously id like to know?

I found a page a few weeks ago that listed curb weights per axle on the trucks (not axle ratings) The QC models had barely more on the rear than the RC with most of the additional weight on the front. I will try to find it again.

Hehe sorry about that...
swore I guessed 250 and you said 280.
only 150? Again thought you had some wild look in you eye when said under lbs next week....Just as well cause I don't see how you are going to get that and still get the truck back together for the next day.

Finally got the roll bar back on last night after much aggravation and multiple trips to home depot. Still didn't' get the switch lighting done so lights still no workie.
Think I'm going to race at about 5150 lbs Sunday sure hope we have good air that's going to cost me a couple of tenths but I'm also thinking of using up the last few passes on my old smaller DR's so maybe it will balance out. Unfortunately I didn't make the track last night and have run those DR's a few months. Hope I can still make em hook.

I did a 4 pt scale at the track of my QC in street trim me in it year or so back

Front left: 1667
Front right 1532
Rear left 1224
Rear left 1210
Total weight 5628 lbs
Total fronts 3200 (57% of total)
Total rear 2498 (43% of total

Adam did his RC same day , I think his came out to something like
total fronts 3400 lbs 72% on fronts
total rears 1200 lbs 28% on the rear.

Now I think he was tailgate off and a roll pan, vs I had tailgate on tonneau cover, roll bar, hitch ,and bumper.
All that is on the rear axle, but those items are only total about 300 lbs of the difference

yea ok. you have no idea what you are talking about. ive been through 4 different types of tuning, 3 transmissions, more broken parts then i can count, 3 sets of heads, 5 or 6 different exhuast setups, and lots of blood sweat and tears.

wish i could get my 4x4 brick wall as low as a 2wd.

i did see you asking about power to get a 4900 pound truck to a 12.99

its been done my 4800 pound truck did a 12.99
HP = Weight * (MPH / 234) ^3
= 421.40hp

i dynoed 343 rwhp on a dynojet, with my cutouts open and shortbelt i'd probably be 361rwhp, and yet that'd be lower than most dynoed, and i'm still faster lol

1/8 mile calculators don't always work either:
8.33 @ 87mph for me 1/8 mile (same as others) on the 12.997 @ 104 1/4 mile (faster than lots) hp and 4.56s rock, revving 6600 rpms all day long

sorry dave didn't mean for you to get dragged into this. the point is the timeslip is a direct result of effort. he wants to compare me to others and thats fine i got big shoulders. if i wanted a setup like everyone elses i woulda been in the 12's a long time ago. the whole point in us coming to these sites is to go faster who gives a ratz fat ass how we get there so long as everybody is getting there.

Boy I sure hope you're not directing that at me. My weight reduction consists of.....

Roll pan
No spare
No jack
No center console and passenger seat
No heat shield on my CAI
No tail gate
No bed cover

Removed front sway bar

And you can ask anyone that's seen my truck and they'll tell you the same thing.

Its must be those awesome FRI heads you have! the same ones that you have to drop 500lbs to make up for all of that power they gave you!

Ricky ran 13.28 with no heads with the same cam at 5000 lbs. You dropped 500 lbs and added some heads. and ran .15 faster. Good Job! They must be working wonders. You should of stuck with some proven heads.

i could care less about how much weight someone drops to get good times. But for you to say you have more blood sweat and tears in your truck then anyone else, is ridiculous.

I would have to say anyone that installs their own shit has more then you. I have nothing against you, but i am just saying pulling the inside stuff like seats and carpet and all the weight reduction stuff isn't like changing cams and stuff.

I installed everything on my truck BY MY SELF. With no lift. just hand tools and a jack.

Try doing a cam, 3000 stall and everything else in my sig on a 4x4 by your self, then you can compare who has more blood sweat and tears in their rig.

I do give props for getting such a good time, not trying to start and pissing contest just stating some facts.

i could care less about how much weight someone drops to get good times. But for you to say you have more blood sweat and tears in your truck then anyone else, is ridiculous.

I would have to say anyone that installs their own shit has more then you. I have nothing against you, but i am just saying pulling the inside stuff like seats and carpet and all the weight reduction stuff isn't like changing cams and stuff.

I installed everything on my truck BY MY SELF. With no lift. just hand tools and a jack.

Try doing a cam, 3000 stall and everything else in my sig on a 4x4 by your self, then you can compare who has more blood sweat and tears in their rig.

I do give props for getting such a good time, not trying to start and pissing contest just stating some facts.

the point i was trying to make with that statement isn't that others don't put in alot of effort into thier trucks. my point was he tried to make it sound like all i did was remove some wieght and get a good time. the fact is in the last 6 months i've done headers, rollpan,heads, cam, lots of body work, numerous track preps, lots of tweeks, a torque converter, and alot of other shit just to get faster. and of course sam did my heads and cam but i was right there with him the whole time learning all i could and doing as much as i could as we went. but to have him come in and dismiss my times that i worked really fucking hard for is bullshit and i felt the need to put him in his place. there was no disrespect ment to anyone who works hard for what they get.

and i agree with you, no matter how you get low times, they are what they are low. I guess i missread your posts, or the meaning of your posts.

ok well maybe you should rephrase what you said... "You didnt put alot of blood sweat and tears into your truck, you just put alot of money" :Tup:

I prefer to do most of my work myself, but give the guy a break, ya gotta learn sometime. Sounds to me like he is trying to learn so he chose someone to do the install who would help teach him. Knocking him because he didnt do the install is just petty. I think its safe to say that at one point in time, you had no clue how to do anything on a motor either....and that you learned somewhere/somehow. I'll also be willing to bet that he knows a skill that you would be absolutely clueless about...so who gives a shit?
Seems like you're just trying to pick a fight now. Lame.

all that blood, sweat, tears, and all that experience you keep talking about, yet still in the 14s? here's a :dance: for ya. i see no problem with stripping a truck, i did it as well as a lot of other people have done it. why does nobody hate on gadier, jay, or brad for stripping their trucks down? is it because they are the fastest, or what? who cares what he takes off to go fast, not everybody has unlimited money like you seem to have matt, yet he is still a full second faster, what gives mr. pioneer, have you ever done anything first?

well fist of all dunb shit i have done a cam actually i've done 6 one in each one of the motors i've built from the block up. the only reason i didn't do mine is that i was told by multiple people that the cam in the hemi is a little different so i chose to learn what was different. all the motors i built were fords so i figured i'd listen for once. now that i've helped do it yeah it was a little different but not much. could i have figured it out you bet but why gamble. as far as heads go those are easy only reason sam did them is because i bought them from him and he was already taking shit apart. but the truth is i really don't give a fucking shit what your stupid ass says because you obviously don't have a fucking clue what you are doing or you would at least be in the 13's. hell i did that stock and have witnesses and time slips to prove it. wheres your's.

yea ok mike i see how intelligent you are.... what you said makes you look real smart. good job! i ran 14.1 at 5300lbs with tq converter, SC, intake, and cutout on 22s, Im sure my truck is well into the 13s by now. spedly was there to whitness it so there is no speculation. My truck was blowing the tires off that day. I have nothing to prove so there is no need for me to go back to the track. i like my truck for what it is but ill call b/s on someone that has to cheat to achieve the same times that ricky or lonnie or dave achieved with the same mods. sam i understand you stick up for mike bc you did all of the work on his truck but the fact of the matter is that there are alot faster trucks out there then his hp/wt ratio. But what do i know im an idiot compared to the almighty steelhorsey? :cheers:

Gadier built my tranny which im sure none of you could do. i removed my tranny had it rebuild and reinstalled it myself. if you guys are really so jealous ill shut every one of you up come this fall when i put your times to shame.

and heath i dont give a fuck what you say you gay little homo fuck. take your truck to the track and then talk some shit or are you afraid of gadiers times? gadier is the most honest dedicated guy on this forum. ive hung out with him numerous times and his truck would put even jerrys truck to shame. its a shame mike had to drop his truck to gadiers weight and still runs slower times. im done with this gay forum and all of the guys sucking dick around here. so peace out. once again i have nothing to prove.
