so i decided today to pull my truck out and let it run for a while cuz i haven done that in a coupple weeks. so i figured as long as thee was some snow in the driveway, i might as well do a coupple of fishtail runs out the driveway for the hell of it…so i backed down the driveway ok, and once i started goin, i got stuck. so i trued dropping it down to first and not even get on it at all and it still wouldnt go anywhere. so finally i decded to back all the way out of the driveway into the street to get some traction and just hit it, hoping i would have enough speed to make it up the driveway (can mayb fit 4 cars in it, so its not that long)…well this worked, after about 5 tries.
Edit: the only snow in my driveway was the 1/2" hard-packed stuff the plow doesnt scrape off.
o yeah and i also had like 150 lbs worth of weight of stuff i was storing in the bed. and my tires have about 80% left on them. so, moral of the story: Goodyear Eagle F1s and ~300 rwhp + snow = not goin anywhere
im just estimating…figure the R/T comes with 250 and after the mild mods i have, i used one of those G-tech timer things on it and it said i had 300, but i highly doubt those things are even close to accurate. its the only figure i have, so i jsut used that… its prob actually less, but for conversation sake…im getting it dynoed in the spring after i do some more mods, so i will post up the dyno sheet and then i will kno for sure.
drivetrain loss would drop it alot tho, it prolly has 250hp stock at the crank, prolly like 230 at the wheels, im a rwd guy to and i get the same thing
