Around 450-480rwhp.

The S10:
carburated small block
Spraying a small 150shot cause it might give me a chance.:(

nice runs still. I'm not a big fan of Nitrous though. A 1.3l turbo vs a v8 with nitrous.. i think you did well.

Black Hearts 09-22-09 06:06 PM

agreed. i like the second run how the shift light lit up his face lol, reminded me of when i was young and my parents used to put the flash light and say the cucuy (Mexican bogeyman) is coming.

FDSeoul 09-22-09 06:22 PM

YOU GOT owned:) great video man. All in all you still drive an FD and that dude "WHAT".

DRIVE safe.

93rx74lyfe 09-22-09 06:59 PM

That sucks man...

sinned2545 09-22-09 07:11 PM

that truck is bad ass.... when he purged the nitrous you must of been like "WHAT THE F@!K" lol

Gohan3rdrift 09-22-09 10:10 PM

He's a friend of mine so I knew what was coming.
He runs high 10s on motor and high 9s with the 150shot, so I had no chance either way.
I'm always down to race, whether I'm gonna win or not.
I don't get butt hurt, cause I know I'm one of the slower guys.

FDSeoul 09-22-09 10:23 PM

1 question comes to mind, what set up would the FD need in order to take and beat the Beast???

Lsx with a 100 shot :P

used to have a buddy around my area with a SBC in an old s10 with a 75 shot. he figured we were going to race so prematurely he upped his shot to a 150. he beat me by a car but rod knocked it in the end. nowhere near the built engine as your friend tho

1SWEET7 09-23-09 11:32 AM

That truck is quick. Nice try though. I love to race even if I am gonna lose too.

hondahater 09-23-09 02:30 PM

That last race was close. I'd take a 450-480hp FD over a shit truck any day of the week :icon_tup:

TpCpLaYa 09-23-09 04:54 PM

That was awesome man. I applaud you for sharing a loss, with a video none the less.

Gotta admit that the bug inside you has probably been stirred up a little bit...ha

BTW, how much boost were you running and I bet that S10 is light as hell

x2
and I would rather lose to a faster car than crush a slower car

G's 3rd Gen 09-23-09 06:02 PM

Did you try to brake boost? He still would have pulled you eventually I think but might have made it more interesting. Nothing like being taken out back to the woodshed! Good runs and nice rides. G

Beast From The East 09-23-09 06:18 PM

Throw a turn or two into that race and run it again. I doubt he's done the suspension work needed to do anything other than a straight line.

20B is the other way to go if you want to just stay in a straight line. Speed costs money - how fast do you want to go?

Slow Rotor 09-23-09 10:25 PM

Look on the bright side, im sure your car would have felt alot safer at that speed

Gohan3rdrift 09-23-09 11:01 PM

Thanks guys.

I was running around 20psi and that s10 is a fully gutted race car.
It's built in every way to go straight, and done so very properly.
He's gonna beat me no matter what so I wasn't butt hurt at all.:D

Yeah I was brake boosting on both runs.
You'll notice on the first run that it nose dived while brake boosting,
my fuel map was a little too rich causing it to fall flat on it's face once i got to full boost at such a low rpm.

We all know stomping V8s with a stock 1.3 on straightlines is more gratifying.:lol:
I would just go the LSX route if I didn't want the challange.

Holla!!!

just startn 09-24-09 09:53 PM

:scratch:

66 impala 09-24-09 10:28 PM

damn an s10 with a sbc swap? Thats NEVER been done

ihavetwins 09-29-09 01:36 PM

haha strange race.

F1blueRx7 09-30-09 09:43 PM

Do you have a dyno sheet of the power your car is making? If he was spraying a 150 shot on a carbed stock cube 350 you should have beat him with almost 500 HP. I'm willing to bet you're not making as much power as your butt thinks you are.

Gohan3rdrift 09-30-09 10:53 PM

He has run a best of 9.99sec @132mph with that small 150 shot.
And he also ran high 10s on motor alone so, I'm pretty sure he's got me.
My butt dyno is a little off calibration too, but my trap speed tells me I'm high 400hp.
Actually I think the track was downhill....for real...

darinn 09-30-09 11:18 PM

idk sounds like you are granny shifting....you sure you know how to properly drive that car of yours?

Gohan3rdrift 10-01-09 12:08 AM

Granny shifting...not double clutchin like I should.
Ask any racer, any REAL racer.
Doesn't take much skill to roll race.

I prefer digs but he's already beat me there too...lol.
No video of that though...thank gawd!!
