How do you build a fast truck?

I got a 13 spd .73, 3.73 rears on LP24.5's. 80 MPH is about 1700 RPM n yes, I can pull up a 6% hill no problem grossing 80K lbs in high range lol...I do it in high range grossing 140K lbs on a 7% hill. Pretty wimpy truck not to do it at 80K on a 6% hill...

 

my fld will hold the top side of the box on a 7% grade at 96k and its far far from a high hp truck

 

well,no little 650 horse b model is gonna do what I can!!

 

No one but you brought up a triple digit truck, the guy asked about what it takes to run 75-80.

If we are doing trucker stories, we used to have a K100 with a 3406A and a double over 12513, and it would run 108 rpm'd out with 4.33s.

 

Did the guy with the W900 with 3:55's & lp 22.5's not say he could go well over 100 mph ????

 

Have no need to do what you can I have my own truck to drive no time to worry about yours. I by no means claim to have a big truck but till you show me some tail lights I don't believe you have either. I have known a guy to sandbag or false advertise it goes both ways I have been shown tail lights on occasion but never without being told they had to work for it.

 

Hold on, I need to go get something before posting in this thread...

 

Speed costs money, how fast can you afford to go?

 

18B/3.55/LP22.5's'= 80.8MPH@ 1800rpm

feel free to double check my math, even on tall 24.5's its only 87 MPH, your set-up requires 2200 RPM to achieve 98.7 MPH, 2300 required to get 103.2. "Wrapped it up" is an understatement if you were really "well over 100"
