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.

Me,too. I am leaving the flat 6 in my 51 business coupe,and adding a 3 carb intake,cast iron headers (if I can find them,split manaifolds if I can't),and a finned aluminum high-compression head (if I can find one) to go along with the 3/4 grind cam.
These things sound really nasty with a hot cam,split exhaust,and glasspacks.
I'm making plans on doing pretty much the same thing with my 33 Dodge 4dr that is getting a 251 DeSoto flat 6,and my 42 Dodge business coupe that is keeping it's original 30k mile 230 flat 6. Already bought new Edgy finned aluminum heads for both,as well as the intakes and carbs.
The only negative about the flat 6's is that hi-po parts are hard to find,and you have to buy them when you find them no matter if you can afford them or not right at that moment. I missed a deal on a finned aluminum high compression Edmunds head and matching 3x1 intake from a guy on the HAMB by trying to get him to hold it for me for a week instead of just going ahead and putting it on my credit card. Been two years and I haven't seen a head for a flat 6 Ford since then.
