Watch this new truck move out like a boss!!
"Stock motor and transmission, Whipple (supercharger) 2018 F-150 running 9.99 first pass off the trailer. Second pass it ran a 9.94 making it the first 2018 F-150 in the 9's as well as the first F-150 in the 9's with a stock motor and transmission."
Also,they are running on a 1/8th mile track,not a 1/4 mile track.
I knew when I saw the title it could not be 1/4 mile. The best time for a stock Challenger Hellcat is 10.56, and I suspect it has a massive power to weight advantage.

One of my personal all-time favorite You Tube videos is of a brand new Hellcat drag racing a 61 Valiant stationwagon with a slant 6 on a quarter mile track,and the slant 6 eats his ass UP.
I think there was even something wrong with the engine in the Valiant.It sure didn't want to run very smooth at idle. Seemed to have a miss. Who knows how fast it would run if the guy would tune it up and get rid of that miss? (G)
BTW,both cars are the same shade of green,and the same guy owns both cars. He had just bought the Hellcat,and wanted to run it against his Valiant just for grins.

MoPar had a Power Pack kit for the 225cid (tall block) slant six, with duel carbs, long runner ram induction intake manifold, tri-Y headers, and if I remember corretctly even a super slinky thin head gasket that boosted compression a hair.
Those things ate up the Ford & GM sixes in the junior class sanctioned racing, 1962-64 or so, to the point they were banned.
I'm one of the few folks that love a straight six, they actually run better than V8s because of the physics. Each rise/fall/fire/discharge is perfectly counterbalanced by opposite action in mirrored cylinder. No heavy crankshaft counterweights are needed, as they are on crossplane V8s.
