i do have a z28 camaro (13.1)et that i love but i also have a truck

ok its a dodge but it is cool its a 1988 dodge ram 150 4x4 short bed with a 4 inch lift with 31x1250 procomps

it used to have a 318 that ran 19.3 in the quarter, hey stop laughing

well i pulled that motor out after 250 thousand miles and put in a 440 big block with headers, msd, edelbrock intake , carb . it feels alot faster then the 318 but i made a mistake when i bought the 440 , it has 8.1:1 compression ration with .425 lift cam i am going to gateway next tuesday and am hoping for a 16.8,

when i get the body work done and my camaro to run low 12's i am going to rebuild the 440 with high compression pistons big cam edelbrock heads and prabably a 496 stroker kit. sound cool?

well my question is will my truck beat a lowered fullsize longbed 97 v6 vortech stock truck, i have a case of bud kight beat on this so i don't want to lose, LOL what would that truck run

will get back after gateway with some et

if you are a good driver you might get a high 14 et. my bet is low 15s with those huge tires

**camarolvr69** · 06-22-2006, 05:51 PM

lol dont worry about that 97'

hes only got 180hp

those things do the 1/4 in 16.0. go whoop him up

**silverz28camaro** · 06-23-2006, 10:02 AM

my truck is an auto and the 440 was rated at 260 hp with 360 tq stock, i do have headers performer intake 750 carb and msd distributor ,maby i am at 300hp? the truck only weighs 4500 and it has 3.21 rear gear ratio so i don't think i will run a 14

really think a fullsize truck with v6 4.3 will do 16.0

well i will post my truck times next wednesday

**silverz28camaro** · 06-23-2006, 10:04 AM

what did you run 15's in camarolvr69

**camarolvr69** · 06-23-2006, 10:05 AM

lol i didnt run 15's if you look at my original post it says that im guessing YOU will run 15's because you have huge tires on your ram

**camarolvr69** · 06-23-2006, 10:09 AM

i used a 1/4 mile calculator and it said you will run around a 15.1

not sure how accurate it is ... but keep us posted

**05gtoautoX** · 06-24-2006, 03:39 PM

I have an 84 ram 150, 4 inch lift, 4x4, 15 in. centerlines and 35in M/T baja claws, it too has 3.21 gears and a peg leg, I replaced the 318 after 400,000 miles and swapped in a 440 out of a 77 cordoba, I rebuilt it stock at first, and it ran a 16.87@83, and now it has edelbrock alum. heads, comp. cams cam, thorley tri-ys and .456 gears, took her to the track last month and she went 15.4@92, but the holley carb I have is only a 650, need to get the 770 truck avenger, and should get into the deep 15s, also I live around 5500 ft. , hope this helps you

**silverz28camaro** · 06-26-2006, 05:58 AM

it sure does make me fell more confident that on what time i will get since we almost have the same setup

**silverz28camaro** · 07-18-2006, 10:03 AM

well the truck ran a 16.3 at 82mph with a 2.3 60 ft on a hot 85 degree night and i beat the lowrider by 4 lenghs the next day

cant wait ot see what heads, cam, gears, and and stroker kit does

**05gtoautoX** · 07-18-2006, 08:20 PM

that's really good, what elevation are you at? yeah the cam really woke mine up, if it's gonna be a race/street truck look into a stall converter with those gears, it'll help alot

**silverz28camaro** · 07-19-2006, 10:10 AM

i live in missouri and the track is gateway, elevaton? i would have to look it up the get the number

i am worried about the stall converter being to muck punishment on my transfer case and rear end, i have the new process 203 and heard that the like to give way under stress and the parts are discontinued, a guy told me a new process 205 is much more stout and is the way to go

do you think a chrysler 9.25 is worth building, the ford nine inch is tough but i would rather have all chryler parts

**05gtoautoX** · 07-19-2006, 04:19 PM

definately, but the 8 3/4 rear-ends are a very stout piece, properly built they'll hold up to 5-600 hp, you have the NP203?? wierd I have the 205, I think if you put some good axles(moser, richmond, strange etc) and some good gears like 4.11+ also(moser richmond etc.) then put some good U-Joints (spicer) and you'll be preety well off, one thing I would do before all that is add an aluminum external transmission cooler if you already haven't, it'll save the tranny. let me know what you end up doing
