How much hp do tons use up?
« on: Sep 03, 2013, 10:21:22 AM »
Thinking about building a custom set of one ton axles but worried that a I'd need a V8. I know guys run them with 4cyl but how much hp is noticably lost? My truck is not a DD at all so I'm not worried about that part of it, and the option of 6.17's is enticing.  :thumbs:

Gearing will solve any power issue.  If you don't need to drive on the freeway horsepower doesn't matter.  Torque is what you need.
