I need big block combos and 1/4mile times! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tom · 02-17-2003, 11:38 PM

Im in the planning stage of my 427BB build up. Id like to see what everyone is running and their combos so I can get an idea of how badly Ill beat you in a race

Ok Im just kidding, but Id like to see about what Id run.

low 84 · 02-18-2003, 01:33 AM

so what is the question? do you want our engine combos, or BB engine combos for you or what hp you need to get a certain 1/4 time?

Big Paul · 02-18-2003, 04:37 AM

Hey Tom, are you gonna be comparing between others and the DD2K I gave you?

Tom · 02-18-2003, 12:21 PM

Low- I want anyone who runs a big block in their 73-87 to post how its built and what 1/4mile times they've run with it.

Paul, yup thats the idea

Im going to play with some different cams though and see if I can squeak out some more power.

low 84 · 02-18-2003, 02:01 PM

chris and jeff are the only ones running bb's off the top of my head, and neither one of their trucks are finished. there might be a couple outhers running them.

bigblock73 · 02-18-2003, 02:04 PM

Tom, no matter how much HP you make, I will always be faster than you!!

no really, I cannot wait to get the truck together...I am curious to find out myself! I am HOPING for high 12's, anything slower will be a dissapointment IMO.

**Captkaos** · 02-18-2003, 03:58 PM

You still know what mine was and the time it ran, right?

Tom · 02-18-2003, 04:04 PM

yeah chirs, I have that info saved. Your the top dog right now, Im aiming to bring you down. Since your going for more of a twisty turny truck, that shoundt be TOO hard
