SO Hurricane at drag strip

[HSKR R/T]

This guy is running at the 1/8 mile track I work at tonight. Running 9.0 in the 1/8 mile so far.

How does that compare with a Hemi in the same trim?

I’m not familiar with 1/8 mile times. All the strips around here are 1/4 mile only.

For reference, the fastest I ever went with my 2020 Hemi was a 9.3.

He's at 8.9 now. That would be a low 14 sec 1/4 time.

I was corrected on Facebook. High 13s

Not bad for a heavy truck

What gears are in that truck?

I didn't ask. It's a Bighorn, so probably the 3.21

 

[spyder]

So 3.21's are better and faster than 3.92s? Got it. Thanks for confirming!

What? Not sure how you even came up with that. I'm guessing on what gear ratio it had, and there wasn't another Hurricane RAM there for comparison

Not at all...

3.21s will be faster but not quicker

If you're talking theoretical maximum top speed then yes, but there might be additional limitations that ultimately keep it from being faster at the top end.

Higher numbers are always better for drag racing (lower quarter mile times). Back in the day we ran 4.56 or 4.88's. Gas mileage sucked though!!!

3.21 will be faster for a roll or top end pull from highway speeds, 3.92 will be better from a launch. There is no free lunch in rear gearing you either give up low end or top end. Can’t have both.

I don't believe you can get 3.21 with the Hurricane.

This. Unless you put huge tires then your final drive ratio is lower

yea just 3.55 and 3.92. Seems like most trucks are showing up with the 3.92's.
