Egg rolls with that rice?

[crazy longhorn]

Had the longhorn out for a spin today, & my little bro loved driving the old truck. On the way home,I get this little ricer buzzing me.....well, i drop the hammer & lite it one time. Next light, the kid is asking "whats in that truck"? I told him , 383 with a 6 spd richmond behind it. he says, "how does it run".....not too bad for a heavy truck......he tryed it! I was impressed, he stayed with me for 10-15ft of the 1st gear After 2nd was about 1/2 cranked, it was time to back off....nothing more to show! Now we see the american steel/ricer fight all the time, but the kid wasnt the butt head to put down the stuff I grew up on, & was impressed with what a heavy truck could do. The little booger sounded good @ 7500-8000 rpms......but just didnt have the tork/power that a stroked sb did @ 5700 rpms! we all give these guys hell, but they are still playing the "hotrod game" that we all love My hat is off to the guys running the 4cyl "rods"......its a new game to many of us. The ones that run down our old american steel are butt heads & will piss us off......but many are just having fun "playing" like we all have ......just a little different "twist" to the game. crazyL
