    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!

    Be careful, he might just be reeling you in. Just because it idles smooth doesnt mean he doesnt have a hidden 150 shot going on.....

    No nos on this one I looked the car over, apears to be stock. He was going to take a buddy of mine for a hot lap and it died 20 feet from his drive lol. We planned on going to the track fri and it didn't work out, I was bummed cuz I really want a 13 sec pass and it was sunny cool and dry out would have been a fast night . I had a 14.6 pass with my 3.08 gear on a hot day and was hoping with good air and my 4.10 I could run a 13.99 my fingers are crossed heehee. Oh and kill that stupid mullet car lol

    Normally you only see this behavior from rice burners. Tell him he should go buy a civic so he could come up with more excuses when his vagina hurts and he'll never have to take his balls out of the glove box.
    Tires are a pretty lame excuse. Sounds like Joe Dirt realized his mullet car isn't a space rock after all. (If you haven't seen the movie I just called it a hunk of $#!+ )
