You're getting on my nerves.

Why would I lie about something like that?
The burnzilla doesnt bullshit.
Its a beatup old sander truck thats just used to sand car lots.

If youre crusing down the street (about 25-30mph) and you mash it, it will light them up. Its a 454 Big Block.
An LS1 has 50-80 less ft/lbs.

I know trucks. I have put more miles on trucks in my life, then cars.
This sander truck had more power, and at less rpms.
Have you ever rode in a big block.

I have did it before a couple times, the sumbitch will turn right around 180 degrees.
Its the same exact motor they put in SS Camaro's in the 70's, with tires just as thin.
The sander does not effect this truck at all. Its a 3/4Ton. All 454's are 3/4 tons, but you knew that right?

Fucktard.
_______
I had to edit my page cause Im a lil ticked.
I googled an 1987 Chevy 454, they have 250hp/385 ft pounds.
The truck has a 750 Holley 4-barrel, and modded exhaust.
Do you know what a big block reacts like when you dump 4 barrel's of gas into it at once?
It stutters for a sec, then it just roars.
___________
If someone posts something youre not sure about, or dont believe, It is possible... I know I know, you know so much, but it is possible you just don't know.
Kind of takes the fun out of messin with people doesn't it?

Not trying to stoke the fire's of hell, but....
First you said the truck with a 1500 pound sander could light the tire's at 35 mph, right?
Those were your word's, more or less.
Then you implied that the sander was empty when the truck spun it's tire's at 35 mph.
Now you've changed the speed.
25 to 30 mph.
By the way, 454 work truck's are very common and I have been in several.
Don't mean to tick anyone off, but there are time's when it's unavoidable.

352 ci engine's were only put in pickup's as far as I know.
I should of added that when the guy said "352 4 bbl", I asked if he meant to say 351.
He replied, " yeah, I meant a 351".

That was a typo.
Someone else caught that. Its around 500 lb.

25 to 30 mph..
5 mph difference give or take, and your giving me rap about it?
Youre kidding right?


______
Listen...
Its no big deal.
I have read some things on LS1Tech I thought were just outrageous, until I found out they were true, or they happened.
I can understand if you find somethng to be a little on the iffy side, but were talking about a truck that barely passes inspection, is 20 years old, and is used for work. Nothing really special. But the motor runs just dandy.

I have several years driving trucks, and a 454 will light'em up just as easy as my Camaro.

People are so full of **** these days. I used to satisfy the curiosity of people when they asked me what my car runs, how much hp it makes, etc. After getting tired of someone always telling me some BS story of someone else with something faster, or that made more hp, and alot of the times I knew the car or person and the **** was WAAAAY off, I now just say, it's pretty quick, it ain't bad, or something like that.

Unless it's my friends or a true car guy that's not full of ****, then they're gonna have to take there 9 sec, (in reality 14 sec) car and find out the hard way

Yeah, I hear what your sayin' BriancWS6.
When they ask me what I run I say that I don't know as i have yet to go to the track.
When I tell them I'm pretty sure that I'm into the mid 13's they laugh like it's the funniest thing they've heard all day.
But then again, they've yet to produce just one of those street monster's they keep telling me about.

i outran TA's all the time in my 3.4L V6. like on the highway when i would pass them in the other lane.

i know a guy at work that says the same stuff. he has a turbo passat that he swears will whoop my ***. he hasn't taken it to the track because "he doesn't need to take it to the track to know it's fast". he won't race me though. he's one of those "nah man" gangsta asian kids that talks like he's of a much darker tint if you know what i mean

turbo passats run mid 15's

They were put in the old Thunderbirds prominently. They are of the FE blocks, which can make some serious power. My father built up an FE 352. Punched it .60 over, to to tune of about 400 cubes. Seeing as how the FE heads were some of the best heads Ford ever built, he just did a valve job. Edelbrock intake, Edlebrock 750cfm carb, nasty *** cam, longtube headers, glass packs, 3 speed transmission. He put it in a '67 Ford F100 that was originally a 6 cylinder truck. Kid that bought it from us put a lockup rear end with 3.08's and clicked off a 13.20, lol. It apparently has embarassed alot of people in the area.

I have kids tell me their old trucks run 9's after they ask what my camaro runs. When I tell them 10's on motor, they look funny, think for about 5 seconds, and ALWAYS either have a car or have a friend with a car that is faster...ALWAYS....never fails.

Its just a kid thing. I don't get upset, just say "wow, thats fast, you should bring it out on the street and make some money with it".

When someone over tha age of 25 says that, then I jump their ****.

People don't realize how much a second or two is in the 1/4. This dumbass at work told me that two guys with Mustangs and the "exact" same setup but one has CAI and the one with the CAI ran 11s and the other one was in the 14s.

I asked him who they were, and turns out I know them both! The one with CAI is actually a 5.0 car with exhaust, 3.73s, and the "CAI". This guy got RAPED by my buddies mustang that I raped (vid in the street racing kill section ) and the other car is stock except for exhaust and it's actually a 4.6 vert.

Same cars huh I told this guy how far off it was, cause I ran low 12's and they stood no chance against me. Turns out he was repeating what he was told, but ****, what a bunch of dumbasses. I hate people like that

My next door neighbor's old Ford Torino that he had when he was 20sunthin keeps getting faster and the engine bigger every year.

It used to do 180... when I had the SVT Cobra and it's top speed was 152. Now it did 225 that I have a corvette with a topspeed of 185....

Of course, he is short and a Saints fan... So, I shouldn't expect anything less.

I think I am going to twist his head off the next time he tells me how to clean my pool filters or tells me a obviously made up Torino story.

All this b.s slinging is true and funny but when i used my 68 for a daily driver i cannot count how many times someone knows someone or they have a REAL car to run me in. Several occasions I has just sitting around and some scutum juggler comes up wanting to run for titles. even if i had quickest street car i wouldnt cuz **** happens and the slow car can win. anyways, i would bs with them for entertainment and this occasion we wants me to sit there at the park while goes home and TRAILERS his race car over. and yes, the older they get the faster they was. goes for alotta other things too as i used to run track and cc in high school.<off topic, i know but relevent none the less.
