Well this truck is much lighter, has more mods and ran 0-60 somewhere around 8.5-9 seconds to runa 16.4

Fun with numbers

Very rough approximation but it helps ...

Theirs = ~5110lbs, 5.4 2 valve, UD pullies, intake, exhaust, 3.55, superchip. (Stock max bhp 260).
Still not saying the gryphon wasn't off, but I don't see how I am that far out. My chip with newer motor has to make up for some of what he has with his mods, the gears are going to help out the hole too.
My truck = ~5481lbs, 5.4 3valve, gryphon, 3.73 (Stock max bhp 300)

Torque numbers between the two are very close ( more important than HP at low speeds)
Gearing: 4:10's would help, but the difference between 3:55's and 3.73's is too small to count much.
Tuning - a little - both are predominantly just adding advance, - almost a wash for this kind of test.
Oh yeah - both have huge driveline losses ...
Yer likely in the 8-9 second range - depending on environmental factors, fuel quality (incipent knock will kill you by pulling timing), IAT's , available traction (tire compound, road surface), etc, etc...
Just sayin' .... and crap .. none of this 'OT' BS is helping the OP
speaking of which, where'd he go???MGD

Peak delta results in ~15hp resulting in a 8.3
Max delta results in ~56hp resulting in a 7.5
Both of those times are slower than what it told me, so I will say it again, you guys are right its not 100% accurate.
have you weighed yer truck lately, with all fluids and yer ares in the driver's seat? I think you'd be shocked to learn it weighs (a lot) more than 5481 lbs.

Oh well its all good stuff. Hell does not matter now, with those 295's I have now I would probably get smoked by a KIA.
