You will need a trans brake.... 550hp+ and 3:91 or higher gears and be as light as possible

Do it will being street able. Very unlikely

Or turbo. Turbo or any boost is always good

That truck is heavily modified underneath, not just a farm truck someone dumped a regular ol big block in. Pretty sure its a Merlin or Dart block, punched out pretty large, if I remember right.


Got a couple t76 turbo's and a t56 6 speed going behind the big block in my truck soon.....might end up a little quick, I dunno.

514" Caddy in a 73 Jimmy. Dyno'd at 497hp/565tq but had a very leaky valve seal and an intake leak at the time. All better now. No track time yet though. Need some gears, a posi and some sticky tires.

Oh, and a rollbar too.

Hate to break it to you guys but that '70 chevrolet "farm truck" sports a 502 base engine with serious upgrades and as of the last time I saw it, a huge twin stage plate system. I've heard that he has since upgraded to a 400+ hp fogger. It has a fully built 9" with a spool and a reverse manual valvebody. As far as the chassis it is relatively stock, just look at the way it leaves, kind of sloppy. If it had extensive chassis work done it would leave a helluva lot straighter. That man, although he has a cage under that camper shell, is completely INSANE. That truck has a 1/4 turn of play in the factory steering box. In no way shape or form is that truck remotely close to being a daily driver, it drinks race fuel and the only thing it ever gets used for is the occasional cruise night or messing with some kids on the street. It is a track truck and it gets trailered there. Oh by the way if you ever see him in person do not let him trick you into listening for a noise right under the drivers cab area, there is a 150 psi real train horn mounted right underneath the cab and he will air it out for anyone dumb enough to fall for it, I've seen him do that to alot of people.

don't have to check you tube, I have met the man and he lives within a 5 mile radius of me and you sir have him pegged, he is every bit of what you say.

Well a big block is to easy. Lol

My definition of daily driver is being able to drive it daily and not want to shoot myself in misery or taking out a loan in gas lol

Patc has 700r4s that hold 750 hp/tq
Ck performance has 200r4s doing race and street duty with 800tq big blocks and are currently trying to get the first 1000hp capable 200r4.

Don't beleive art carr they talk the talk and can't walk the walk lol they claim to have 1000hp transmissions and show cars making passes with them...once lol

Patc has a first gear planetary that helps the first gear ratio on the 700r4. This makes it quite possible to have a good street/race trans so now you can have your cake and eat it too

Well the patc trans sounds like the way to go, since the 700Rs got the wider gear ratio from 1st to second finally a lil change and more reliability

everyones definition of 'streetable' is different. My Trans Am runs deep into the 11's, while having all the factory ammenities.(A/C, Power everthing, full weight) But it still isn't my daily- nor would I want it to be...but I have driven it from AL to LA for work twice recently, and was comfortable, other than stop and go in New Orlean rucsh hr.(that sucked)

But I do plan to Street/Strip my 92 Silvy reg cab Short bed- and expect to hit 11's fairly easy...But I'll be using the 454, and TH 400 out of my dually in that truck, and lots'o'Nitrous.

I GOT IT! get 2 trucks. one for grocery getting and one for the weekends

[C-10 simplex]

Anyone running quicker than 12 seconds with a full size truck is certifiably insane. i'm not kidding.

The exception is those guys who took a new pickup with LS engine and simply put a turbo on it. That's impressive to me.

NOW i think your definition of insane is wierd. its been done in lighter apps totally insane the lighter like top fuel dragsters running low 5s, yet you condem a full size pick up from running lower than 12s?, but we cant do it with a heavy duty vehicle every day driver?
