Smile Whats the est. horsepower to the rear wheels for this truck?

Its not mine, this one is my brothers..

Its a 99" F-350 XLT 4x4 4-door (single rear wheels)
with a 6.8L Trintin V10 (gas)
dual exhaust
35" tires
and AEM short ram intake

An another question, do you think i could take him at the 1/4 mile?

I have a 1993 F-150 XLT 2WD standered cab, short bed
5.0L V8 on 93octane
flowmaster exhaust and K&N intake

Because my truck is considerably lighter, do you think i could take them at the 1/4 mile? We both have automatic transmissions.

Even though he is heavier and has larger tires, I still think he'd beat you in the 1/4 mile. A nearly stock 5.0L is a dog and the 6.8L's can move. It'd be a fun race to watch.

I think he will beat you too!

I had a 93 F-150 5.0 and my brother had a 97 F-150 with a 4.6 and he would kill me! lol

Why are you running 93 octane? Do you know how to adjust the base timing? Factory is 10° BTDC. Set it to 12 before the race. Don't forget to unplug the SPOUT connector when making timing adjustment.
