71 Chevy Cheyenne vs. Nova video. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*bskylerj* · 10-10-2006, 04:26 PM

Here is a video of my 71 Chevy short box Cheyenne super with a supercharge 454 in racing a nova yesterday. I was still trying to tune it in. The smoke you see at the end is some oil spitting onto my header. The motor with the supercharger built up so much pressure it blew my dipstick tube out and sprayed some oil.

Awesome

Werewolf · 10-10-2006, 05:20 PM

What kind of power are you pulling out of that engine? How much boost are you running?

*72CSTC5* · 10-10-2006, 06:51 PM

What kind of times are you running in that truck?

CPNEJR · 10-10-2006, 07:14 PM

damn sweet truck

Ole Blue 68 · 10-10-2006, 07:22 PM

Sweet!

What was the No-Go running? BBC?

drink2mny · 10-10-2006, 07:22 PM

Silly little truck.. I have a hose clamp you can use to secure the dipstick for next time...

Hey Bryan.. I'll let this video stay for awhile on the server.. I am hoping to get a program to convert vids to SWF flash video's.. like youtube and google.. so it loads alot faster

Maybe not as fast as your truck.. but faster..
What was your final time of the day.. i only stayed from 11-1pmotherwise I would have more vids.. i took a couple of my other friends 65 and 72 chevelles..

Love the pic and the vid. That thing is BAD. Hope to see it someday.

**Ron 586** · 10-10-2006, 07:39 PM

Talk about cutting the tree down at the stump. Either you nailed it or he was so late he needed a wake up call. Good show. I keep a throttle return spring on my dipstick to keep it from blowing out.

QKENUF4U · 10-10-2006, 08:15 PM

such a nice truck. like everyone else is asking what kinda times ya pulling ?

*bskylerj* · 10-10-2006, 11:42 PM

Sorry for the delay guys. Just got done coaching the kids Pop Warner football.
The No-Go or some may call it a Nova dialed in a 12.70. I Am not sure what I ran this run as I got mad and pulled in and parked and did not go by the time shed to get my slip. My tranny would not shift out of 2nd gear unless you let all the way off the gas then it would shift and then I could get back on it. I built this truck to SHOW and GO. I wanted the best of both worlds. You do not see that alot. Normally it is one or the other.

I built this truck to run in the high 10's or low 11's. Ron586, I ran a ..5 on the run before this so I had the ax out chopping down the tree. This Nova was running good but not good enough for the broken C-10. I was loosing to much time and having to let off the gas. There was alot of trucks that day out there and I will get those posted here shortly. I already tore the tranny back out and am going to tear into it this weekend.

I do have to say that once I got the air pressure down in the ET street slicks it hooked as well as expected. That run I started in 2nd gear to see if it would shift better that way. It did not and did not launch as hard as it should. I ran a 1.74 60 ft which is launching hard off the line.

drink2mny · 10-11-2006, 12:13 AM

Not meaning to take away from his truck.. F'n bad ass in person..
But..

I have one pic of another truck, don't know who owns it.. the pic is when he saw green for go...
Plus 2 videos of my buddy and his dad .. Oldman drives the 65 buddy drives the 72.. Both with 11.3 something times in the 1/4

This truck is from Montana and I thought I heard he was running 10.25. If flat out moved. It was a sweeeet truck.

I have a turbo 400 with a hughes 3000 stall. I had this built last summer and did not use till I put it in the truck. The guy was refered to me by many but I am not happy with it.
I am going to do it with a manual valve body now.

CAL 58 GMC · 10-11-2006, 01:47 AM

Really nice truck bskylerj!

Ole Blue 68 · 10-11-2006, 10:31 AM

Well your ride definitely shows AND goes.

drink2mny · 10-11-2006, 10:45 AM

Even people in the crowd were saying it was the nicest truck they have ever seen and the nicest in the area..
The old guysa next to me usually hit the cruise night at a local place and have seen it there and at a couple local shows.. They talked about it the whole time from staging to end of race...

Now if that doesn't give Bryan a big head nothing will

alemck · 10-11-2006, 01:49 PM

What have you done for weight in the back?

*bskylerj* · 10-11-2006, 10:55 PM

Nothing at all. I was wondering how it was going to hook up with the air ride but it transfers fantastic.

*bskylerj* · 10-12-2006, 05:59 PM

Did you get any video's of the burnoff's. I have some but do not know how to post.

*bskylerj* · 10-14-2006, 03:41 PM

drink2mny, How do you post the videos? I have the other trucks on video from the races as well and have been trying to figure it out.

drink2mny · 10-14-2006, 10:13 PM

I shrunk them with windows movie maker and uploaded on to randy's server for his website..

I guess you can join youtube or google video and upload there as well
I am trying to make the videos a swf file so they load like youtube instead of havning to download it first

Cost money that i don't have
still looking for a video to swf program thats free
