Hmmmm. I might be a tiny bit wishful on the HP,
it might be like 385, so I guess 6200 might be
asking a little much of it. If I figure 6 grand
and I use a set of 3.08s that I have with those
same 26.5 tires, that should give me 153 and
change. Maybe I'll just try that and see if it
pulls the 6000. If it pulls a little more like
6200 or 6500, I could see 160 - 165 mph.
Thanks Keith,
