hmm the video doesn't give me much info (such as an actual graph or slip, or video at the track), but it helps. assuming all of this is true. . .imagine the times he would be running if he actually put some real tires on that truck.

That truck was built by PSI racing. It is legit. They were also working on a twin turbo X-Runner. But heard they abandoned the project for unreleased reasons. I'm thinking they blew the motor.

First why spend thousands on your engine and not set up your tires and suspension.

Second His time slip says Dodge on it but his truck is Toyota.

Third PSI Racing site makes no mention of trucks. And if it is a PSI racing truck then why isnt he throwing a sticker up on it.

I could put my Saturn up there with a 10 second time and a Z06 time slip and a link to a company and people would call BS on me to.

1. With a 131mph trap speed that truck would be running low-mid 10s with a proper suspension and tires. In the pic below you can see the size of tires he's running in the rear.

2. It doesn't say his truck is a Dodge. The two names (Arrigo Dodge and BF Goodrich) are the lane sponsors, they have nothing to do with the vehicles.

3. I am not a fan of putting stickers on vehicles. Just because it doesn't have a sticker doesn't mean anything.

If you look at the PSI Racing myspace, in their photo gallery you will see pictures of the truck.

I still don't see the truck, as pictured there running 10's, but with slicks and the power he is claiming it is possible, I guess... Also the Dodge thing isn't referring to his truck, but the lane sponsor (some Dodge Dealership) at the drag strip
