them diesel guys run it in 4x4... or some slicks... Im sure thats the only way to get that torque to the ground

yeah i feel like i let alot of u down. It def not the truck its me. That and it was between 99-101 degrees out. dont know how much that effects my ET's or trap speeds.

Not much happens until they get well into boost...you gotta remember that these diesels would have the horsepower of a small 4 cylinder without lots of boost.

A diesel is low end. That's all it has. And it would have the horsepower of a 4-cylinder only because they redline at like 2500 or 3K and horsepower is directly related to torque and rpm. Tell me 500 pound-feet of torque at 1600 rpm isn't low-end.
So I went to the track today and I have good news and bad news. The bad news being that no matter what I did, or how I launched, I ended up roasting tires, on one run about 1/4 down the track. The good news is that even though I couldnt get traction, I ended up with the same ET and trap speeds as I did before when lauching wasnt a problem. Once it hooked up it pulled so much stronger than before but my best time ended up being 9.3 @ 75.69mph.
I know once I figure out how to launch better, I'll be comfortably in the 8's no problem. Side note is I beat an S2000 by .2 although he was going 5 mph faster.
I dont know how those diesel guys do it with all the torque they have, guess its just gonna take some practice.
That's not true man. It might take a bit of suspension work but it most certainly can be done.
I have spent most of my life at the track. I see plenty of very high horsepower vehicles of all shapes and sizes leaving with low 1.0- 1.4 60ft times...and a lot of them are on leaf springs.
With todays tire tech, traction is not so much the problem as it is unloading the tires. If the suspension is set up right and the tires bite, which MT DRs most definitely do, then the vehicle WILL go.
I look forward to proving this next spring.

I was referring to the 5.7 Tundra with stock tires. I agree with your approach though, as DRs will give the 2WD launch without the losses from the 4WD drivetrain.

yeah i know but wut i was trying to say, its nothign with out its turbo
my buddy spent over 100k on his diesel, it wasn't worth it, i dont' think
here so pics
its got twin turbos 1200+lbs of tq maxed out the dyno i think it was pushing 750 or 800whp

1600 rpm is over half way to it's redline so that's not not "off idle" or "out of the hole" power. Over half of that 500 lb/ft is from the outrageous boost the diesel must run to get out of it's own way. I'm not anti diesel, as it is a more efficient fuel, I'm just not too hot on how heavy the diesel trucks are and how they perform off road.
You could get even the slowest gas truck, add forged internals, turbo, intercooling, proper compression, and tuning and it would flat "rape" the truck with 100K into his diesel engine at the strip running the same displacement engine and boost level.
This is getting too off track here so I'm done with this discussion.
