    at some point here i mention that it isnt grabbing 3rd gear - and we had it rev limited to 5000. this was the first time the truck ever went down any sort of road test. its plenty fast.
    its made a fool out of many people who thought they could square up with it.

      ThunderHead289 what does it run in the 1/4 mile?

    • @ThunderHead289
      @ThunderHead289  7 років тому +10

      its around the 12.5-13 range. it was only ran 5 times for the numbers. kinda scary in big tires. i was in the rig for one of the pulls. i wasnt about to risk my life twice. its lived a mud bog life. - this was taken right by the "dismal swamp" on coastal virginia a couple years back.

      ThunderHead289 that truck does not run 12.5 in the quarter. tell me a real number joker. i have been racing for 20 plus years i know what it takes to run 12.5 and that truck wont do it. i bet money on it?

    I used to have a 71 nova with a mild built 383 and a 4 speed and I drove and beat that 383 like it owed me money for about 2 years all thru high school and raced the shit outa it almost every Wednesday night at the drag strip .. Best it ever did with 4:11s was a 11.8 and that was me ripping that motor and shifting at 6800 rpm all the time ... It never broke on me all I had to do in 2 years was a list the valves twice .. The day I sold it to a 35 year old man and his son, he took off in that car burnin rubber thru 3 gears I knew it went to a good home.. Just wish I knew where that car was today

      My dad had a 72 with a built l79 in it. He got rid of it when my mom got pregnant with my older sister, he definitely regretted selling it. We later found the car but it had been drag raced and stripped n cut to a shit shell roller.

      Wes Harris You have no concept of mechanics. If you think this is fast, stay away from the race track, there's enough Honda's and ten second shitboxes getting in the way as it is. This truck is dead slow. You need to get out and see the world. Leave mommies house and get out there. Don't be afraid.

    Goes to show you cant post anything without someone key board ninja hating all overt it. I thought that 383 sounded sweet. I had a 440 HP 383 SBC in my '66 Chevy C-10 pickup and this engine sounds a good 150 hp stronger at least. I bet its a blast.
    Those Bog trucks are heavy as hell and that little stroker was getting with the program. Most folks don't know that these trucks usually have 540 BBC or 572 BBC with nitros and the little 383 sounded healthy enough to jump right in with them to me. I liked it, thanks for sharing.

    I have one of those in my boat, and feel like it’s always needed a good carb tuning and the electric choke set up correctly. It runs good but know it could be better. Any interest in road tripping to Clear Lake and tuning the carb and timing up and setting up the electric choke. I’d gladly pay you! I know you guys are down by Ames. It’s a 383 with vortec heads, edlebrock 650 carb. Thanks buddy

    The truck sounds good, Id like to build a nice 10 to 1 comp ratio for my lil truck to keep it more 93 octane pump gas friendly.

  • @DeVoNmotorsports
    @DeVoNmotorsports 5 років тому +1

    bigger heavier tires make you alot slower.... taller tires make your gear ratio wider = less acceleration and more top speed in each gear, wider tires increase rolling resistance, road noise and make the clutch slip, wider tires increase grip ONLY on flat surfaces, wider is not always better

    What makes this thing rev so fast. I love that instant rpm sound.

      the power of compression! 12 to 1 engine on 110 race gas

    • @frigglebiscuit7484

      not necessarily the compression. it could be a solid cam engine with lightweight valve train components, balanced crank, crank oil scraper, small diameter converter, etc.

    Lmao. Kinda reminds me of my uncle’s buddy. He could light up his 54” Super Swampers on his street-legal ‘88 Silverado. Never really did very often though because it cost him 3,500 for the set. Haha

    Thats what you call power to the ground big tires and rims do the math. the weight@52 lbs. per wheel now that's, impressive.
