suck geting beat by a lil import.
i was going like 55 in 3rd and i floored it and it wouldnt downshift,if we where going like 35mph i think i would of had him.

but the lil 305 was crying lol

Search for threads on adjusting the TV "kick down" cable.
It should downshift at 55

Start looking for a Vortec 5.7 our of a 96-99 Chevy 1500 truck, Suburban, Tahoe. You can convert it to carb with a cheap Prof Products intake.

Don't feel too bad, the ricer guys spend tons of cash making those tiny engines produce power.

I think it's funny how those perf parts companys are getting 4 times the price
for tuner car parts compaired to traditional GM, Ford or Mopar parts.

if you were trying to race a pick up with a 305... then there are few imports you could beat.
If you were doing it on the street, as you kinda indicated, then I hope you get busted and your stuff gets impounded.

So, you have never street raced, not even one time?

[Longhorn Man]

maybe.
If I did, i wouldn't advertise it on the world wide web.
And if I did, then i deserved to have my junk impounded.

I doubt that impounding someones "junk" would really teach anyone an important life lesson.

It would be mo better if you had explaned how street racing is dangerous, insted of condemning him like that. You might have messed up an opportunity
to educate him because he is prolly offended now.

How about getting it crushed, then?

Keep it at the track

[heavychevy79]

Now that's a funny picture.

It won't make those guys stop, just more anger for the police.

The big citys don't like dragstrips, and usally have them shut down for stupid reasons like gambling, so until that changes, there will be street racing whether you like it or not.

Dallas was smart and has opened or allowed a privately owned strip to open downtown.

We need to educate the teenagers.

Damn that sucks oh well theres always next time. Now go fix your kick down cable and get your truck shifting better Not even going to get into the have you ever street raced discussion.

[68C15]

FYI; the TV cable (assuming it is a 700R4) is a very important part to have adjusted properly. too tight and you break stuff. too loose and it will burn up.

I'ma gonna toss my 2 cents in, Longhornman is dead on if you street race I hope you get your junk impounded, he doesn't need anyone to tell him it is ignorant to street race unless he has been under a rock, people get killed all the time, innocent people, so sorry if we don't sugar coat it for ya, STREET RACING IS DUMB, deduct from that what I think of folks that street race.

Have I done it? You'll never know, have I seen people die, yes, right in front of me in Tucson at the "Illegals" as it was called back in the day, is it dumb, you bet!

If 18 years ago, they had been cracking down on it the way they do now, I'd probably still be one friend richer. He didn't think it was a big deal either....until he ended up dead.

i dont go out and street race?
idk who u are your at a redlight someone pulls next to u and wants to race.
i very rarely go over the speedlimit,and you all out there now that u do it.
we all know its not safe,just like drinking and driving. sh%t happens
and when i do race my truck i got moroso(now pbir)10mins from my house

allso its not a 700r4 (wish it was) its a th350
and going 55 mph around 2300rpm i dont think it would down shift?

[dave2953]

I wouldn't go so far as to say that drinking and driving is "stuff happening". Street racing and especially drinking and driving are 100% preventable provided you're a responsible, contributing member of society that isn't using their own head to provide a free prostate check. And for what it's worth, I don't street race or drink and drive, and those that do deserve to be kicked in their junk prior to it being impounded.
