track times?

[05Gibbs]

i have a 85 shortwide and i may be putting my 383 in it but im wondering about how fast people are getting these trucks to go my engine is putting out about 450hp and i will be running 4.10 gears and a 3k stall and possible cal tracks or something like that just if anyone has any thing to add i would help im not sure if i want to put that engine in the truck or a old striped grand national that i have but i would rather do the truck but if its just gonna run hi 14s im prob not gonna do it

[05Gibbs]

and the engine is suposed to be putting out close to 500 but im gonna stay with 450 because i know that it has that

That setup should get you past the 14's all together. But if you point is to go the fastest possible, then the GN is always going to be faster due to the weight. If you still have the turbo v6 in it though, I would never swap the engine on it.

[05Gibbs]

yeah the v6 is long gone lol my uncles brother sold the engine and trans so he could make a drag car...he is pretty dumb what kind of track times are you pulling? ive seen your truck on many videos i know u will have much more engine than me im just wondering how fast will they go i plan on running et streets or slicks

[flamingbig10]

you might be thinking about this truck http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=301788

[05Gibbs]

yep i thought that was him...sorry i just read the rvg trcuk thing lol

[Low84]

Yeah, that's a good friend of mine's truck. He's been fixing the bugs lately but should be running by the end of the month. It's a MONSTER!!

That setup will get you 13's easy.

With a relatively stock small block, 4.10 gears, and trackion...I was running 14.6 at 92.

I now have a 468 BB, 4.10's and cal-tracks...I am hoping for 12's

I doubt my truck would break 14. I have another car if I want to go fast the truck is just for tire smoking LOL. Although I am pushing around 275to300 horse on the engine with my given setup.

Well damn this mile high air!! My old 85 w/zz4, 2500 stall, 410 posi rear, would pull 15.01 but I couldnt get it to dip into the 14's. I'm hoping to get my k5 into the low 13's after the head swap this summer

[tvblazer78]

I have only ran mine in a 1/8th and it was running 8.3's about all night. I hope with all the new work on the motor it will do a little better then that.

[vern350]

I ran a 15.2 with a mild 350, 3.07 gears with 29" tall tire in 1/4.

[05Gibbs]

well i should be pretty good then i know im between 450 and 500 i just hope i can get it to scoot pretty good its going to be lowered 4/7 with ralley wheels and 295/50s on the rear and i plan on 4:10s does this sound good? or should i go lower? this truck is not going to see highway at all so thats not a problem

[bigblock73]

4.10 is as low as I would go unless it is for strip only. Just my preference
