Seems like Parish got outta the game and flaco's trucks are stupid fast plus we all know white trucks are the fastest :lol:
Are flacos trucks street legal, also I havent ever really seen any street race vids of his.
Parish sold his truck forever ago, Flaco sold lil sis but still has hayhauler. Love parishs truck but I think flaco would win.Quote:

His trucks are indeed street driven and street legal in the sense that they have valid tags. hahaQuote:

Is this flacos only street race vid?
correct if i'm wrong, but didn't the truck end up in mexico?
parish never got in the 9's, flaco is in the 9's and 8's.
of course there's all kinds of racing, parish had 4wd/awd right? street racing, roll racing, drag race, top speed, etc.
both trucks are badass.
Parish's truck and Lil Sis are in Mexico.
lemme guess they are both running drugs now? :lol:Quote:

Lil Sis went to Tamaulipas and Parish's truck went to Sinaloa, I think they are over 15 hours away from each other.
Yes parish truck was sold years ago, and there's plenty of flaco street racing.
With the kind of power and speed these trucks are packing I bet they could cut that trip down to like 7 hours and if they meet half way like 3 hours :lol:Quote:

The new setup made big numbers then split the cylinder. New motor dropped in then truck was sold shortly afterwards. I ended up with the cam out of first motor and a healthy cam was tossed in with the twin 72s
if you want to compare the fastest true street truck then we need to bring Jared [stock48] to the plate as he still has the title of that
What's the best definition on "true street truck"?Quote:

look into Jared's truck and that is the true symbol for "true street truck" o btw its sports a KBracing turbo kit!!!Quote:

His S10 is a true street truck with heat/AC subwoofers and everything. This year he's going to a 408 with around 18psi and trying to get his weight to around 3800lbs. It's a nasty truck for sure but the cage keeps it from being a sleeper.

that truck is deffently badass and still with a form of 4l60e trans. Jared is close to 5k lbs and traps higher then most race trucks doQuote:

I know flaco has a profile on here, is he coming up with any new projects?
Because he sold it to someone in Mexico. Go check PT.net, it's in there somewhere.Quote:

I will look into Jared's truck because I'm curious to what this definition is of a "true street truck" is.
Can it have a fuel cell or does it have to retain the factory gas tank?
Can it have Ca-Trac's as long as it has factory leaf springs?
What other do's and don'ts are associated with keeping a truck a "true street truck"?
It really doesn't matter what others or ourselves thinks a true street truck is. We all have definitions and they are never going to meet in the middle.
If I can drive my truck on the street, it's a street truck right? It's "inspected" and registered, doesn't over heat, etc etc. End of discussion.
I think the more features you leave on the truck, considers it more of a "street truck".
The only way would be to enter a competition setup by a recognized group that establishes the definition, then we all race and that determines who has the street truck.
I think reliability plays a big part in the definition, that's just me.
I would think a true street truck would be taking the truck Allen used for the 100 extra hp dyno thread, and dropping parish's motor in it along with a 4l80e, and some traction parts/cal-tracs, drag radials, drop kit.... I think once you get into all the super weight reduction, ac removal, wheelie bar, slicks, tubbed bed, parachute...etc, thats when it becomes more of a track truck...
I always feel like I have started a good Thread when I see Allen on it putting in his opinions...lolQuote:

You brought up a good point, which made me think, it's not all about hp and the 1/4 mile times. We've done a few trucks that I swear they are some of the best daily driven trucks, which would put them in the group I call "True Street Truck". There's actually a point where to much hp isn't a good thing. Lot's of ppl say, "i'd love a 1000hp street truck", but it's actually really dangerous. Not that I care about that either, but driving the vehicle becomes a chore.
Two trucks that I love driving when they are here for upgrades or retunes are the Red one, it runs a high 10sec now, is lowered 5/7, has just enough hp and will stand it's ground against a lot of vehicles on the road, even beats most bikes on the open highway.
The second truck is the bigass turbo we did on this crewcab. 408, oversized thumper garrett, lowered. This truck doesn't make anything near instant boost, which is good for the street, but get it going and it won't stop pulling.
I know there are a lot of other trucks just like these, so they'd fall into the category as well. Just posting what is a good street truck imo.
Oh, and one thing these two have in common, RELIABILITY! You can run the dog crap out of them and not be working on it the next day.
Now my truck, the old farmtruc, it's not fun on the street anymore. It's only on 16psi, very low compression, so the engine is hardly working, and forget anything under a 90mph pull. If I take it up to high boost around 22psi, forget it. I know there are ways around all this to make it street worthy, but i've decided to race it at the track and not the street. Even though it'll drive across town and back and still gets really good mileage, considering...
hahah, just saw the above posts while typing my previous one, :tacos::hyper2::chevy:
I think around 600hp is good for a daily driver... Turbo hp, not naturally aspirated hp... big gas difference from what I hear...
I bet you get some looks driving that bitch across town.
