Is this power just an estimate, or has it actually been dyno'd? That truck weighs probably 2xlbs more than the Z28 and is running those taller tires, which make those 4.10's not as amazing. Sure, it might have a little quick jaunt, but it'll peeter out before you know it, no matter what the red says.

Those top truck challenge guys have quite a bit of power, but none of them are quick - at all.

Keep the truck on the trail and off the track.

Just race him and don't ask silly questions. Makes us LS1 guys look bad. WIn or loose, its better than asking stupid questions. Don't need advice to race someone, just go race him!!!!!!!!!!!

If your worried about possibly loosing, sell your LS1 and get a Honda and put stickers on it...

SOrry, but these "WHo would win" posts are ******* stupid and reek of "ricer mentality"...

Just race, and post results...dont worry so much about loosing!

Oh let him have his fun. Talking about racing is fun and oft times we LRN interesting info by talking and hashing ideas. Think if men never talked, we would be racing on foot.

Not exactly man. They had cars running low 12's on 44" swampers with 700hp in their accel test. It's shorter than a 1/4 mile but they said it was damn close. That same car would probably be in the 13's. I personally had a 72 blazer with a 454 and 42" swampers that could hold it's own against an lt1 and could launch harder than anything due to having a locker in the rear. If he only has 35" tires then you are probably going to get smoked.

It should depend on his setup, his truck could be fast but if he has a shitty convertor it won't be able to put the power to the ground, and with 4.10's on a 496, unless he gets a good launch he will be spin city if he gets on the gas, senn it many times here in Jacksonville, friend has a 496, in a k30 and can't hook for ****, but before that he had the stock torque convertor and wasn't putting any horsepower to the ground, I beat him in my old s-10 blazer....you shouldn't have any worries.

i'm not racing. i am a friend of the owner of the truck with the 496. i am trying to give him advice on whether he should bet or not. i'm going to say yes. the numbers are taken as 50hp/tq less than what desktop dyno gave us. desktop dyno said 582hp/648ftlbs. you cannot input something things into DD, like roller rockers, so it could be even more. machine shop told him around 600hp, so who knows, i like to take the lowest numbers. i know that 4.10s aren't much with 35s, i am a truck guy (see sig) and i know that he's going to outlaunch the lt1 because of a detroit rear and 4x4. anyway, thanks guys.

Eh... I just have it out for people with trucks like this who insist on racing cars. I'm so used to these filth bags with their "built 350 with a three-quarter cam, punched out, 600hp cause the shop said so". Can't forget the nasty dual glasspacks either.

Bowtiered

You must not understand the ease with which you can obtain SICK amounts of horsepower from a BBC. ESPECIALLY A CARBED ONE. Don't go saying this engine doesn't got power. . . . i'm sick of people like you who think because my truck doesn't look nice it can't have a nice motor and be done right. i got news, my motor is newer than yours, and has more warranty left on it than yours. it's making close to the same power, WAY more torque and only cost me 1300. . . BRAND NEW. dual glasspacks? i don't like packs, but some do. i have open headers now, but am just saving for my exhaust, 2½" exhaust into dual flows. as far as this 496, it's not what you describe. if you you must know, i can post the specs and let ya'll run it through DD as well

again, go visit CK5 and you'll find many members with engine built WAY more than yours. . . which is stock. . . and more than most people's here. i love cars, i love trucks lifted or lowered, i like horsepower, carbed or injected. you seem to like your car, and your engine. well, there are plenty of trucks out there that could handle your car, and more that couldn't. but don't go raggin on a truck because you don't like one or two guys with a POS motor and a POS truck.

(btw, i like your car, and have nothing again you, not try to start anything, but i don't like it when people rag on all lifted trucks)

WECIV

Sounds like you got a cool truck. I think you and Bronc should race and video it.

Chill out man, it's cool. I never meant anything personal. I know my car is more or less stock. I know it's not the fastest thing out there. I know there are quick lifted trucks. I'm just going with the experience from my area. I live in a college town that's right next to a bunch of filthy hick towns. I've seen it all, especially since I work at a parts store. It's my racism of vehicles I suppose.

In all honesty, I want a K5 REALLY bad. I've always thought it'd be cool to throw tuned port on in and junk that TBI. I don't know if that's the best way to go or not, but I dont care. I don't want that truck to race people. I want it for the snow and the mud. That's what I think it should be for. Leave the racing for the Lightnings.

Ill race anybody in my truck ................................to the 60 ft mark...........

WECIV

I'll race any of you in my Probe, LOL.

Bowtiered

i think you'd win. well, i haven't gotten my gears in there yet. when i broke my 12 bolt i put in a 14FF with 3.73s and haven't gotten my 4.88s in the back yet. i start in granny now then shift to 1st, but with 4.88s i'll start in 2nd but idk how it'll launch. from 20-45 it'll ROAST a civic with intake/exhaust and some other miscelaneous mods. did that one day playin around. i don't like racing it from a dead stop until i get my driveshaft situation fixed. (got a bent tailshaft in my tcase and need a slip yoke eliminator and a HAD CV shaft, and my rear axle turned up 8*. as it is, when the carb is properly tuned if i am idling forward it will light the tires up if i punch it in granny, no clutch drop, and that's 39" mickey thompsons (essential drag slicks ) we'll race once like that, then again once i have the mods in my sig completed.

nice bronco BTW

z98

Race him from a roll and make him look really stupid.

Scratch that, he is gonna get owned pretty good no matter what.

The LT1 can NEVER LOSE!!!
