Is that a "fake" one piece front end? Now wonder it lifts completly off the ground. Not to mention the godawful amount of torque that thing probably has..

Yeah, if it had stock sheetmetal, he prolly wouldnt be out of the 12's.

Your kidding yourself if you think a 200lb. (at the most) difference is going to take this truck down over 3 seconds in the 1/4

I have personally saw this truck in action @ WFC8. It's amazing

If ralph had some more stock sheetmetal I guarantee hed still destroy a mass majority of the Gen2's that are out there. Make no mistake, its built to drag race.

IF his best is a 8.5, adding 400# of sheet metal would put him near 8.9

(Rule of thumb, or folklore is every 100# deducted removes .1 from your 1/4 mile time)

L-menace, I agree, or at least that is what I hear, never actually put it to the test though or knew anyone that has.

Thanks for posting my Pic Leeann. I appreciate the kind words Guys. It has been a long time coming for me & I finally got the truck dialed in to run 8.5's & 8.6's every pass. That pic was taken in 3rd Round of Qualifing @ WFC last weekend. The Truck went 8.590 @ 158.54 mph on that pass with a 1.24 60'.
Thanks Again Guys & Stay Fast!

Ralph Voorhees
