you cant race without redlining otherwise youll just lose

 

Redlining and up-shifting is one thing. Redlining and staying there is another for a significant time frame is another. These aren't nascar motors.

 

very true but they will go through a lot more than ppl think.

 

Ok that just shows you can do 120,but doesnt show you can stay up with the srt8's..So untill you show proof that you can stay up with them,i'm still calling BS,BS on takeing on the srt 8's and the hemi's.but will give you credit on going the 120miles per hour

 

The internals are still stock but those are going to forged after I rebuild the tranny in a few months. I'm very surprised with how strong the little v6 is. The heads are ported late model vortec heads, underdrive pulleys, flowmaster/exhaust, t.b. spacer, ported t.b., cold air intake, ram air induction and a computer tune. Next on the list is a merc. marine intake swap to get some more fuel to the engine.

The abs and brake lights are on ever since I upgraded my brakes, I bled them and it threw of the computer, there's actually nothin wrong with them. And the engine light isn't on also. As for taking a vid of street race, that's not a smart thing for me to do esp. since I need 2 hands to drive (it was hard enough takin that one). btw my dad is a huge ford fan and I personally like olds, so it's not like I'm a die hard chevrolet guy

 

wow seriously? please time that and set it next to any v8 truck. I think you'll be surprised. That was also third gear, I didn't shift to 4th (or 5th). When I take the tranny apart I'll show you the busted bearings and gears. It's bad enough driving it on a broken trans. I'm not dumb enough to juice it in that condition.

 

but heres the problem i eat 4.3 for breakfast. s-10 or 1500. and obviously your gonna be slower than the s-10 cause of the whole weight thing. the only thing that might have done some good was the porting, intake, cold air, chip.that would bump you up prolly 30-40 horses. but i dont think that would still out run my truck.

 

I'm not saying my truck is faster at all. I posted a vid, and yall can get a time to see just how fast it is. That's all. I'm tellin yall the 0-60 is embarassing I never used spray for 1st or 2nd gear (but I blew 2nd gear up anyway) It also has gun drilled axles, NV3500 (which only weighs just over 100lbs). Take into account it's also spinning less engine rotating mass and the truck only weighs 4100-4200 lbs to begin with. Like I said before, it's no syclone or typhoon or lighting, and I've gotten spanked many times from stoplight runs. S10's with a similar N/A set up will run high 13's (remember stock s10s have the early vortec heads). So if you've got that beat then props to you.

But with spray on the hwy it's a whole different ballgame. All I wanted to do was find the friggin monster that ate up my truck and spit it out, I have a strong feeling the engine was supercharged but who knows

 

I counted 17 seconds from the time it came back up to 60MPH till it hit 110MPH. Lets say the truck is wicked fast off the line(for a truck) and hits 60MPH in 6 seconds. Thats a total of 23 seconds to hit 110MPH.

The other guy he was "racing" wasnt racing.

 

actually what i was getting at was i cant beat any srt. but i can beat an s-10 with a 4.3 in it. and my truck weighs right at 4100. what does your truck run in the quarter or eighth.
