probably not

why do you have Eagle rods but a Scat CAST crank??? Is it a stroker??? what are your piston specs??? Do those dart heads have the valves in stock location and angles? What rocker arms?? What is the cam specs of both cams?

The car in my avator ran 8.003 / 169.98 with a stock stroke 454 plus .030 bore-460 cubes -----I think on the run in the picture

I found out the problem guys my motor makes peak power all motor @ 5200 and on the bottle @4700. I was shifting @6000 and that doesn't make sense. I went to a new dyno guy today. The other dude was am amiture. But I should be showing my ass next time the track sees me. Thanks for u guys' input

Ok guys think I got the problem figured out. Truck make peak horses @5200 all motor and @4700 w the bottle. Ran it on a good dyno today with some people w some knowledge. My first dyno guy told me it made peak power at 6500 and I should of knew that was false because the 12.82 pass was in drive and shifting around 4500 I made 416rwhp all motor 565rwhp with the bottle and 637ft lbs. can't wait to get the next pass in

Big cam and crap heads. I agree with Ken. go to a set of Brodix race rite II heads with a single plane square port manifold and a 1050 holly.

I agree with others in that if you have the money you can do most anything. Drag racing a truck at 5200 lbs would not be my cup of tea. I'd take the money and time I have and lighten the load instead of just throwing bigger parts on there.
