CaptainFab,
What is your idea of the limits of a truck 12 bolt, power wise??? Just wondering...

I talked to the owner of the "Farm Truck", years ago before they all became movie stars.
His pickup had run a best of 10.13 quarter mile pass, been years ago...Right up until they got their TV deal going the Farmtruck ran a TH350 trans...my jaw dropped, when he told me. The last time I talked to him he had just switched to a TH400, just for peace of mind, no other particular reason, out of Shawn's mouth...I am pretty sure the 10.13 pass was way before he upped the cubes in his engine.
The Farmtruck has always had a 2 piece drive shaft,and a 9" ford differential, (when I sw it run...) I have no idea about what he has run for drive train in recent few years (hollywood years...LOL)
