    Trans am race challenge

    This guys been talking mad trash about my truck and doesn't even take it seriously because it's a truck. He has a 1988 tpi 350 (355) with a mild cam a "racing" 700r4 trans 3.23 posi. Car is a pile and from what I remember they where kinda slow from the factory. I have run a 14.6 (3.08 gear) but since them have installed 4.10's I don't think he'll be a problem anyone else have any opinions on this I wanna throw some money down on this race. He has no stall and his car idols smooth so his cam can't be to wild he has factory heads and manifolds also...

    I'm not terribly familiar with your truck, but by the sound of it, you should hand it to him, especially if he is unsure of cam specs etc, because then its bought not built

    Ive owned a few of these cars and they are SLOW. I bet you at LEAST have a second on him. Most mullet car drivers claim they got a lot and its stock, if he cant tell you a cam size he cant confirm the 355ci either. When you suck the doors off his car he will tell you its cause he lost traction or it didnt shift right. Update us on this i have subscribed!

    I calls it like I sees it buddy. You'll never get a race outa him but that's cause he's scared to lose.

    What kinda rear suspension do you have in that truck and how much wheel spin do you get? S-10s are light but normally tire smoking machines.

    It's all stock right now but I am going to do a 4/6 drop in the future. As far as wheel spin at the track I air down to 18 psi and I can straight up floor it at the light and it dont spin it just digs (2.16 best 60') but on the street I have to be more carefull but its not to bad. But I can smoke em forever if I want to
