Street Racing & Kill Stories - H/C Trans Am vs S475 Cummins Ram

Trans Am has heads, cam, FAST mani, full exhaust, 4.10, 3800 converter, and DRs. The truck has a S475 single turbo and fuel mods...

Both runs were 30 rolls,

Truck tried brakeboosting a little more the 2nd run and got a little sideways lol. Gonna run it back soon with DRs on the truck and Nitrous on both vehicles (E85/200 shot for TA and 2 stages on the truck)...

Had to use some crappy editor on my moms laptop so sorry for the poorly edited cell phone footage lol.

TA on rev limiter the entire time? Quick truck..

Alot of bouncing off the rev limiter.

Alot of bouncing off the rev limiter.

Word. TA needs to be tuned.

Alot of bouncing off the rev limiter.

Seriously though!

Quick truck nonetheless.

i was just waiting for that T/A's engine to blow...

Tune that t/a!!!!

truck seems to be quick . damn trucks .

So the truck is about 600hp? Good running 12v.

Good thing you didnt run from a dig or TA would have been in big trouble
Fast truck

Not if the truck was 2wd, mine at 678hp would spin from a boosted 70 roll felt like a gay fwd car! Lol just kidding Honda guys calm down. Now if it was 4wd... Bye!:drive:

T/A owner must have had a Honda before that...lol. That truck is haulin azz! Buddy of mine has a compound turbo kit on his and that darkens the sky when he is brake boostin...lol

Thanks on the compliments on the bucket (Cummins) even tho i got spanked ,The truck its 2wd btw

Nice race. Pretty stout truck. I also noticed the car bouncing off the rev limiter.

Et and mph on truck?

Hasnt seen the track....

Hp and TQ? What are the specs on everything? Injectors, dvs, ect. Damn good running truck!

I can't post videos for work right now, but if u click the "ThisIsFake187" YouTube link in my sig there are 2 dyno videos from Friday night. Not sure how accurate the #s are though, atleast for the torque...

Could barely see much but it looks like it says like 4xxwhp and 1xxxwtrq

S475 T4 with .90 back, full cut DV's n over size holders, no fuel plate, head studs, FBD 435 injectors aka 5x.014 ...other shit i am sure i cant remember...n a build tranny cuz dodge tranny suck balls am sure u already know....

Truck has nitrous but cant run it on my current pos tires

Could barely see much but it looks like it says like 4xxwhp and 1xxxwtrq

Couldnt dyno properly since that pos dynojet is not a loaded dyno...going by those #s with a curb weight of 6600lb would put me around mid to probably high 14sec truck...lol

Word. TA needs to be tuned.

Tune that t/a!!!!

Just spoke to him, TA was tuned @ Masport 4 years ago and tranny was rebuilt 2 years ago. Could use some touching up I think, I been telling him to let our buddy DSMLights work his magic on the tune... Think he is just waiting till he gets the spray to retune... He should be checking into the thread soon

lol at some of the comments, The T/A was purchased not too long ago, this is the 2nd run since on my possession. Was taken 3 weeks ago to the track, after the burnout in 2nd gear threw her on D and she was running in one gear the whole time, till I let off half way down the track, one of the techs noticed a tranny leak and that was it, I couldn't run her again, I took her to a tranny place and they said the main rear seal needs to be fixed, I wasn't gonna run her till that was taken care of, but pure pressure its a bitXx, she is a dog on D and manually shifting seems to have a good delay, still getting use to the auto coming fr0m a t56'd kb terminator

Were is sunrise fl? Id love to check out that Cummins!! My dad has a 100% bones stock '98 12v and I've been trying to convince him to at least do the 4000 rpm governor spring mod....lol

Id love to run that beast! :). No rev limiter hitting here!

What EGTs were you hitting on that run?

Rev limiter, It happends at times when Manual shifting. Got to know the car better or deff a tune.

Good Kill!!!

But that is a very respectable truck. :cheers:

What size pump? I had almost the same set up on a 175hp pump with a 66mm and 5x16s and did alittle over 670hp and 1400tq.

THANKS Brother, i'm still learning the car and the whole manual shifting deal, i'm more used to my ex-03 kb cobra t56 6speed manual, this is the 3rd time i take her out for a spin, on these runs i was going from 1st to 2nd and then 3rd :argh: ,
i was talking/texting to the O.P which he also has an auto fbody and gave me few pointers and how to just shift from 1st to Drive and how the shift selector is different, he's got a 98 and his got 1,2,D,OD and mines a 2000 with 1,2,3,D and how the 3rd on my selector its actually D and D its OverDrive, :bash: i'm glad i didnt went D while running the truck, but rather 1,2,3 thus why hittin the rev before i got a chance to shift soon enough

That was funny, I was confused as hell trying to think WTF could possibly be wrong to make it feel like it had less power in D than if u were manually selecting 1/2/3...

"Hey when you race do you shift yours manually or leave it in D?"
- From a dig I just leave it in D
"Bro my car feels like a laggy turd if I get on it in D"
- You have it in just "D" right? Not "OD"?
"Yea, it just says D"
- WTF? IDK man, it shouldnt be any slower... HOLD ON! Im pretty sure we have different shifters, mine goes 1>2>D>OD, yours is 1>2>3>D right?
"Yea"
- LMAO, yea my bad bro try it out in 3, hell yea mine feels like a dog if I put it in OD or your D lol!

I had to laugh at myself a bit there...

215pump...i also had a 66mm before i put this big boy.....

Not trying to hijack the thread but since we are talking cummins vs LS here is my old truck vs my buddy's heads and cam vett.

No problem, post all you want lol... Thats a bad truck, what tires were you running? ^ Picazo needs to get some DRs so he can start spraying again with the new turbo

Gotta be putting out alot more than that to hang with a h/c t/A. It is a regular cab 2x4 tho....

this..

285 think they were some crap brand I couldnt break boost it would just spin, you can here me fighting for traction in this video vs a WRX not sure on his mods but he said he was "built". I was about 550hp in this one.

As far as slicks, I was able to run 15s on my first gen. For my second gen I bought a set of 17" steel wheels off a 06 base model and had them widened to 10" wide and ran a 315/50r17 which I think is a 30" tire.

good runs. i'm not a diesel fanboi, but that's cool shit seeing an oil burner hang with a modified pony car.

i do think the excessive wheelspin and rev limiter on the ellis juan car's part plays a big role as to why it looked like the truck hung so well. shit that car at the track is prob giving up 4 mph with that bs.

my auto bolt-on car gave up 2 mph from a laggy 2-3 shift. i can't imagine what it's doing to the car in the vid. i say those gears, traction, and a proper shift put that ta out a couple cars.

strong ass truck, no doubt.

Thanks for your input, This is the 2nd time i take her out and opened her up, i tried the "D" before but was told last night "D" on my 00 T/A its actually OverDrive http://vinylnation.net/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif
shiift selector goes 1.2.3.D while others say 1.2.D.OD, go figure, i didnt know that and no wonder thought my car on "D" was a dog
and yeah even on 3rd she's a bit laggy going from 2nd to 3rd

Gotta be putting out alot more than that to hang with a h/c t/A. It is a regular cab 2x4 tho....

It has two wheels?!

Took the T/A for a test drive, this time in 3D and went wot at 30, the 1st to 2nd shift its good with the trans shifting at 5500 rpms and falling to 4200 on 2nd gear , but on the 2nd to 3rd shift she seems like over revs delays ove revs again and goes into 3rd, any ideas? theres a small tranny leak by the main seal so tomorrow i'm going to ck the level and add accordingly, hopefully she is just running a little low and it didnt f'd up anything.

If you just bought it, do it right: Drain the fluid, replace the seal, add fresh fluids. Then test it.
You don't know the last time it was changed, and it doesn't hurt to change it.

What sorta cam is in that T/A btw?

God the T/A driver is inept...

Did you even read that even the tranny in 3d going from 2nd to 3d is hitting the limiter, and i just bought her? GTFO

Its the car not the driver, like he said he is coming from a big blower + spray M6 cobra, trust me he can handle a 400whp automatic lol... He just bought the car recently, so he is finding the bugs that need to be worked out each time he drives it. For instance he was told the car had a 4.10 gear, after he told me what speed he was hitting the limiter at in 3rd, we figured out the car actually has a 3.73... Bugs will get fixed, things will be added, and the car will haul ass in due time...

that truck is a friggin monster damn!!

the ta needed a driver mod but the cummings was pretty sick. those trucks are heavy
