Re: Th350 and 12 bolt gear help

Speed costs money...How fast do you want to go?

Your truck, assuming it is steel bodied and a long bed, weighs in the vicinity of 4000 pounds.

To get that amount of LEAD into the tens will take approx 750 HP....great traction and a specialty trans and rear gear.

Check out this link to an online calculator..

You have a choice...nice cruiser and tow vehicle...add a 4L60e trans and controller...

or build a race truck...get that weight down to around 2000 pounds and you only need 400 HP to get down to 10's...you would still need a beefier trans than a 350...think race prepped 400... and a stouter rear end...
