Both get traction your woned and you know it. Thats why you won't run the guy at a track more than likely because you know better.

Also the newest setup that makes 9's easy as hell hasn't been out long.
haha its all part of racing i wont race him at the track cause he retired that slow *** truck after he got that spanking .why didnt he ever come back and try again cause he was owned and he knew it.oh yeah and i added a power adder two just to keep it fair.this is what he looked like after i beat himhahahahaha

Lol, hey i'm glad you won. I hope you beat many more. But in the end if i want to go faster than 10's it won't be with a Chevy.

At least not to date anyway.

Did i miss read one of your post or didn't you say this guy ran 11.90's at the track?
If he did then you woudn't win at the track anyway because a cammed 6.0l truck won't break 11's simple as that.
Street traction...well that can ALWAYS be a differant story lol.

Again i may have miss read your post about the 11.90's.

You know as well as I do, that it is easily possible, just the right people haven't put their mind and money toward yet.

I know it can be done. But there isn't a setup out there that is proven to do it out of the box again and again and again.
Hell noone has even done it yet at all.
Possible yes. Has it been done. No.

I agree, if that is what is being done then they shouldn't have bought a L. But some of the ones I'm talking about are in the 9s, aren't gutted, and don't use a Turbo. They are all boost using 3.4 Whipples.

With the new blower out you don't need to do that. Simply purchase the blower and parts to go along and ahve a built motor.
Leave the truck itself alone basically full weight and 9's can be had.
I like Chevy i also like SVT not ford lol.
I'm just saying times have changed and a very fast street truck is easy and possible. Just cost a little coin.
Which is something i don't mind doin since i love spending money lol.
