Re: Anybody running lower then 12s QM?

It seems that 12s in our trucks is using motors that usually have passenger cars doing 11s.
Weight and aerodynamics play into our factors here

A fiberglass hood and a tonneu cover can help a lot as well as just getting rid of meat all around. Our front "girder beam" suspension is built to destroy anything it hits but is also a good 250lbs! Our bumpers and hoods are silly heavy and the tailgate is 80lbs itself. No consider we are shaped like a brick hous or the side if a barn. The odds are against us. Our engines have to be bigger and stronger. A chipped newer silverado will give us all a run for our money these days.
