I saw a truck weighing over 5500 lbs run 139 Sunday. As far as I know, that is the fastest MPH a prostreet truck has run..... Thoughts?

Was that Jimmy Smith's truck? I heard that was one runnin' motha. Scheid power and ATS tranny, that's one pretty good combo, IMO....

It actually was the Stuckey Truck
The Smith's Truck was wicked quick, but they had some issues over the weekend. The 10.26 That Darren Morrison laid down was flat awesome. This was the first event with his new combo.

Jimmy's truck pulled a best sixty foot time of 1.66. His first pass was 10.7 at 130mph and his second was 10.5 at 132mph. Truck needs to shed a few pounds and he is still having trans issues. This is what I have heard. I'm just glad that he made it down the track this time without breaking. Brought a tear to my eye last year to see that block blow apart like that.

I ran one I found on Google...said 139.1 @ 5500 lbs is 9.8 capable.

Aren't all the calculators a little off with diesel engines due to torque vs. Hp differences as compared to a gasser?

Generally it seems so....but 139.1 is 139.1 no matter how you slice it.

They are. That truck may have had a 9 in it, but after it toted the wheels, it spun a bit. Remember MPH indicates HP and ET explains how well you put it to the ground.
