the rpevious owner thought close to 400 hp... i'm not sure. i have wanted
to dyno it. the truck has had a best time of 13.6 at 106. so it has some
power... that could be another option. i know that could run me several
thousand... i may be replacing the clutch with a halfway decent clutch this
year and rethinking what i want to do and save some money. maybe i'll get a
new trans next year... i really can't afford that much now. i just bought
a house and am just finishing up redoing the bathroom... looks like there
won't be any drag racing for a while...
thanks..
