My buddy bought a 93 new and it went 15.11 right off the showroom. Now it runs low 10's with the factory A/C blowing and still looks stock except for a cowl hood and chromed stock wheels. It is rare to find one running faster than 13's though.

PS When it was still stock we were at a muscle car shootout and got in on a dyno challenge. His truck made 224rwhp bone stock and my car at the time was a bone stock 89 turbo trans am and it made 230rwhp. I remember his disgust when I told him he was only a K and N away from making the same power as a stock V6 !!

A 4.8? Is that a transplant?

i believe some of you are thinking of the 454ss , which is a legitimate truck in that it actually has a 454. the 400ss is a NBS truck... sold mostly in mexico

i think they do only sell them in mexico, but they sure are real nice looking though, but hey I am pretty sure there is alot of people on here that can help you make that 4.8 go really fast!!!

Sould be a good race.Get the jump and have fun. Don't bet much.
