what are you guys running on the strip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

supermaxxbasher · 10-28-2003, 05:20 PM

I would like to see what yall trucks can run in the 1/4. I plan on a 400 horsepower 355 SBC. what kinda time could I see with a 81 chevy short bed.

cochino12 · 10-28-2003, 05:22 PM

My times suck and still cant figure out why. 15.4 cant remember what mph. I guess thant mile high air really kills it.

gldevall · 10-28-2003, 05:50 PM

Check out my sig.

Dirty Dan · 10-29-2003, 03:08 PM

I'd probably run 17's or so, until I get a 502, and a turbo. Has anyone done that on a 73-87?

kevhill85 · 10-29-2003, 03:25 PM

i run a 7.91 in the 1/8 sat . i could not hook up . the track was cold .

LOHRTBT · 10-29-2003, 03:28 PM

If I get my truck back cheap enough I will let you know... I wanna run it before the year is over..but I will have to bribe the track officials...since I have no door handles.

yes they do . they gave me a hard time about it sat .

supermaxxbasher · 10-30-2003, 12:10 PM

would it be possible to get one of these trucks into the 13 second quarter.

gldevall · 10-30-2003, 01:02 PM

absolutely. I've seen street trucks run in the 12's.

Prerunner1982 · 10-30-2003, 01:19 PM

theres a longbed with a 505 here that runs 11s. a buddy of mine with a 400, runs 12s. so yes it can be done. if i were to run it would be about....... 18s..

whats the elevation out there? Wonder how much difference it really makes. As you may be able to tell I'm a bit disappointed with my e.t.s

gldevall · 10-30-2003, 02:14 PM

I'd say the track is at sea level. The thin air up there would have alot to do with it. You should be able to find a calculation to correct the time for altitude.

low 84 · 10-30-2003, 03:47 PM

i've seen a 9 second truck run on the street. its a early 90's truck though. and mark dirves his on the street and he runs 9's. so i don't thisnk 13's would be a problem

LOHRTBT · 10-30-2003, 04:02 PM

No offense to Mark but I seriously doubt his truck runs 9's, Its not even caged...I honestly think with SLicks, his truck would tear its self apart on a dragstrip without a cage. I could be wrong but it takes a MONSTROUS amount of power to put a 4000 lb truck into the 9's
Has Mark ever run it yet? DD does not count

low 84 · 10-30-2003, 08:50 PM

mark said he has run it and that it runs 9's. the other local truck that runs 9's is caged and on slicks though and he drives it all the time. and its a small block, lol. and a "little" no2

phantom dually · 10-30-2003, 09:01 PM

getting into the 12's should be easy as long as you have a good amount of torque. I recently made a 1/4 mile pass in my buddys stock ws6 and ran a 12.89 first pass.

*1FaastC10* · 10-30-2003, 09:47 PM

i've got a buddy who used to have a '70 C10 SWB completely stripped, 4.10s, ungodly stall converter, and a mild 406. 11.00s werent a problem for him. he sprayed it a few times, then had an N2O backfire and burnt the truck to the ground.

Russell · 10-30-2003, 09:58 PM

haha, if I were to take my truck to the track right now, not only would they not let me on the track for having such a crappy running engine, but if they did It would probally take me a good minute to get my truck across the 1/4 mile point :P She has absolutely no power right now due to some insanely messed up vaccum stuff

gldevall · 10-30-2003, 10:38 PM

It's about time to go back to the track. I think I will go on a Friday night this time when they have the bracket racing. I think with the cooler weather and opening the exhaust I should be able to get a 14.6?. But I won't be able to go until after Thanksgiving.

ocbaud · 10-30-2003, 10:41 PM

i guess a low 17 or high 16 w/ the 305

with the new engine i want to run mid-low 13's

In the 1/8 or 1/4? I would have to see some time slips to verify that he's running 9's in the quarter...

who mark or the local guy? if your talking about the local guy then it is in the 1/4. i've seen him race known 10 second ls1 on the street and hag right with it only spryaing his first stage. he has 3 stages. he is spraying around 500 hp over what the motor is making n/a. using a plate and fogger system. i have no doubt the truck runs 9's. dallas street racers don't screw around

C-10volvo · 10-31-2003, 12:40 AM

i dont even want to know how slow my 305 is. i bet you I will still be in second gear as i pass the 1/4 mile mark.

crackajacka · 10-31-2003, 01:48 AM

i have no clue about mine but i felt my old 305 at least had some get go in it

Tracy Focht · 10-31-2003, 04:09 PM
