I've watched several clips of this on YouTube. These trucks are posting really good ET's like low 11's and high 10's. But even though, they seem to launch off the line really slow and then build up speed. I thought the torque of a diesel would get them off the line quick.
it takes a lot to get all that weight moving. and the wheels are bigger so it takes more to turn them so to speak. Everythings bigger and theres only so much you can do to get it moving!

"According to Steeda: Take 12 pounds off the front of your Street/Strip Mustang!;;;;Lightweight tubular design weighs just 9 pounds.;;;;50% less stiffness than stock swaybar. Allows much better weight transfer to the right rear wheel, for more traction.;;;;Maintains good street handling.;;;;Much safer than removing the front swaybar. Maintains stability needed when running soft slicks at high speed, and when driving on the street.;;;;Oversized pivot bushings reduce friction, for quicker suspension reaction."
"According to Steeda: Steeda's SuperLite Drag Race Springs use a longer front coil that stores more energy to lift the front of the car during launch, aiding body rotation to transfer more weight to the rear tires for increased traction. The right rear spring incorporates a progressive coil design that reduces the effect of axle torque, reducing body roll and helping the right rear tire stay planted to the ground during launch. The spring rates are tuned for improved traction at the strip, while maintaining good ride quality and acceptable handling on the street. Just like the name says, Steeda SuperLite Drag Springs incorporate the latest manufacturing technology to reduce weight. They weigh 6 pounds less than comparable springs from Eibach or Ford Racing.;;;;Ride height is about the same as stock springs. However, because the springs are softer than stock, ride height may be more affected by the weight of the vehicle than with factory springs. Full-weight street cars typically sit 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower than stock. Light weight race cars will sit a little higher.;;;;High torque cars can further minimize axle torque induced body roll with an optional airbag kit (sold separately). Fine tuning the air pressure inside the airbag can help the car go straighter during launch."

calculate horsepower with cars weight and et?
3300lb car runs 5.30 second ets in 1/8 mile drag race. how much horsepower does this require?
http://www.eldemoniorojo.com/calculator.htm
A 5.30 sec 1/8 time equates to a 8.27 sec 1/4 mile time according to the first chart. If you scroll down to where it says "Calculate Your HP from Your ET" for a car that weighs 3300lbs (including driver) it takes 1168 HP to do an 8.27 ET or 5.30 ET for the 1/8 mile. If you have or plan to upgrade your car to that much BHP I wouldn't mind taking it out for a spin lol. The sound of those big turbo Supras is out of this world.

“Harleys had roller lifters and I was impressed by that. I looked at the pros and cons and thought that a camshaft that could utilize these in a drag race car motor might produce a lot of power. I had this pal who was a hot rod circle track racer and he said to me, ‘Why don’t we build a circle car, you wrench and I drive?’ I said, ‘Okay, but I don’t want a flathead, everyone runs a flathead. I want an overhead valve engine, I want six carburetors, a 12-port head on a 6-cylinder Chevy, and I want to run what I’d call a roller cam.’”

It was 1949 when the first roller cam was manufactured for the performance automotive engine, and it was Chet Herbert Cams who designed and ground it.
