    buy a ticket to race at your local track. Measure the weight of your truck, make your passes and then go online and enter your times and weights to see what the calculators tell you the HP is. Dynos don't mean anything, its what you can put to the ground that is the most important.

    g-techs are pretty worthless...i used to have one.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    +1 but don't guess on the weight if you really wanna know the HP.

    Not even close to the results you would get in the real world. Honestly just go to the track, get weighed and run. Plug your time/weight into the calculator and it will give you the numbers. Like stated ^^^ they are dang near dead on.

    if you want the real weight, just drive your front wheels onto a bathroom scale...that should get it perfect!
