I have run a 99 Ford Lightning truck in stock a few times back in 01-02. I ran it at my local track a few times with the tailgate up, then down. It ran a little faster with the tailgate up but I really didn't see any difference in et.
Just for the record, bone stock with a computer chip change, it would run a couple tenths under the index. I bet a real race car version of one of these would be a killer if someone was inclined to race something like that. Of course, raising the supercharger boost would be another discussion.
