No, no, you got me all wrong. The truck was only to tow my GTO out. You know the TEXACO off 99. The one where the slow cars are in the 12's. Ill give you a head start that way when I blow past you youll get a Pan-O-Ramic view.

Re: Best Performance Upgrades Dollar for Dollar
i guess u can try with that piece of a gto. it better not have bigass slicks in the back though like a damn redneck mobile 
As for Thunger: Why? Why must you be soo full of hate. You do not have the fastest thing on four wheels. Its ok you are with friends here. Lets all get along and play nice. There is no way that your truck will beat my <font color="red"> <!--color--></font> red neck <font color="black"> <!--color--></font> mobile. Its O.K. You may not beat my truck. That also is O.K. just calm down, take your meds, and get out of the gene pool. :p
P.S. I also work at a High School and we need stun guns.

ok Golden, this might be hard for u to comprehend, but as a teacher i hope u understand... if u look closely at any of the post i made in the past, i never am the one to start the smack talking, someone else always does. they usually make a sneaky comment aboutt he 4.8 to where no one else really catches it. but u see, i can manipulate things much better than most people. so i catch these sneaky comments and react to them right away, thus making the impression that i look like the bad guy. u get it? theres ****** on this board that cant say stuff straight out and have to do it in a stealth kind of way, but i catch it. u just have to have a better understanding of the mind and how it thinks
and when u compare a 5.3 to a 4.8, u are comparing a fast truck to a fast truck. not- a fast truck to a slow truck. thats the best way i can put it
thank you and goodnight

thunder, why do you always have to act so childish? a 4.8 IS SLOWER THAN A 5.3. with equal mods, in fact....it takes many many mods to make a stock 4.8 as fast as a stock 5.3, just exhaust and a programmer and a upd wont make a 4.8 as fast as a stock 5.3. i know you'll come back and make some stupid remark but you are wrong, the 4.8 is...IS inferior to the 5.3 unless you mod the absolute hell out of it.

Re: Best Performance Upgrades Dollar for Dollar
I have a 4.8. I have modded the motor in an atempt to overcome the shortcomings of the 4.8.
THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT.?!
and what you call your uncanny ability to interpet the smack talking of others is called paranoia.
If the 4.8 was the best of the gen 3 motor then why does no one want to get rid of that big ol' heavy 6.0 for the lighter more aerodynamic 4.8.
The ONLY advantage the 4.8 is its very short stroke that could be used to make a high rpm motor. out of the box the 4.8 has shortcomings that need to be overcame to put it on the level with a 5.3.
The ONLY truck that has ever beaten my truck was powered by a 5.3. The only thing he had over mine was 3.73 other than that it was box stock. Now I think that if I swap in my 4.10 it would be a beter race. I have right now 3.42 with some very tall 31.25' tires on my 'red neck mobile' now being the smart man you are thunger you know that my effective ratio is something like 3.08. so the 5.3 did have some gear on me. BUT my 4.8 is comfortably modified and should have been able to overcome that "shortcoming" right..............
And Yes my GTO has some big slick on the back and on a good launch it will dangle the front skinnies.
How old are you Thunder?

Re: Best Performance Upgrades Dollar for Dollar
oh yeah...and the fastest truck in here isn't a 4x4, it's a 2wd ext cab with a smaller motor and no supercharger, big ole 20s and a crazy redneck driver. parish is the SECOND fastest truck...until mine's finished then he'll be the 3rd.
