I will send a link of the best 4x4 stock body pull. This truck flies into the dirt rim way past the full pull line when I connect to a charger. You will take these words back considering the fact this is a huge supercharged, turbocharged, 2 stroke detroit with 30 feet of leverage. Physics knowledge instead of all go and long gears is the smart way to win. This link is the holy sh*t way to win after edit

I felt so good I would laugh when I heard it. How about a Detroit 6inline71 in a Crown School Bus and the engine was "straight piped". The 6v92 in a truck and the engine is straight piped. I can also imitate the engine in a bus with an automatic transmission too.

thats what you can accomplish with a high torque engine in low gear and plenty of traction, no wheel spin required there

This is true. My friend found a orange long bed Dodge d50 from 81 sitting in a field he inherited from his dead uncle. He even had the title an keys in the house. We got it running. It had a slant 6 Plymouth engine in it from 1971. It was louder than 2 gay bulls having a hook an beller. Could hear it coming for 5 miles away. It was oddly really good on gas. Ran perfect constantly, and we dubbed it the lil general Lee. An before we even both put 100 miles on it, my buddies girlfriend painted Lil Bastid General Lee on the eggshell white roof top. It was a solid straight bodied normal lil truck. Til ya see the roof. An then ya hear where it got such a name. Even with 2 mufflers and a new set of 3 port headers with new pipes, still loud as hell an blows any and all guts outta mufflers within 2 weeks.

It doesn't look or sound like too many modifications were needed to the truck or even the engine itself for a pull like that. It was absolutely impressive and what could be seen and heard was impressive. The one who was driving the truck knew exactly what to do.

This might be the most fuel efficient Run of a puller at all times!!!! Showing off what a real truck is really all about... taking a load bringing it home and it doesnt matter where the road leads trough. No wheelspin just pure traction

I was there when the General Lee truck did this pull. Even went a 2nd time for a encore. Took place in my hometown of Mt. Carmel, Illinois.

They're all "supercharged" but not in the way you think. They have roots type blowers for exhaust gas scavenging,almost no "boost". Also,it's rather obvious this engine ain't turboed.
