A 700hp, Sled Pulling TerrorIn the sport of sled pulling, raw horsepower and torque are often seen as the best way to claw up to the coveted number one position. Joel Gooch, co-owner of J&H Performance in Redding, California, sees things a bit differently. While his '01 Dodge 3500 makes good power (about 650 to 700 hp at the wheels), it often finishes ahead of pullers that have hundreds of horsepower more than his green monster. How? Joel has spent a lot of time ensuring that his truck builds plenty of ground speed during the pull. While horsepower might help at the very end of the track, a smooth start and plenty of momentum are perhaps the most overlooked elements of a good run.inline_mediumwraptextright27439025/features/dodge/1005dp_2001_dodge_ram_3500_green_monster1005dp_01+ diesel_power+2001_dodge_3500+sled_pull.jpgTrue
