ok so my friend thinks his stock "extreme" s10 is gonna beat my new camaro.

i dont see any reason he will be a problem since i got the car running right.
but he thinks he will win because of his gear ratio (probably 373) on his stock truck.
and heres the funny part he thinks hes gonna take me in the 1/4 but ill get him off the line. sounds like some bassackwards logic to me if anything his 373 will produce more torque from the line and mine (308) will pass him down the track.
not to mention i got like 40ci on him
just as a test the other day i took it to 80mph in 4th gear and it was still under 4k.
and i know for a fact all s10s top out at 97.5 from the factory.
so id say hes SOL

basically just wanted your guys input and eventually im gonna postvideo of me smoking his ***.

oh and recommendations on how much $$ i should put on this.

 

I think your car runs about what a 4th generation 3.8 runs and I've had no problem taking down any truck with the 4.3 motor. And also your the first person I've seen other than me that has 2 15's in a camaro.

 

the bad *** mother ******* maro will crush it..........................

 

My bets on your camaro. Might want to pull the 15s out if your taking it to the track. Is your engine the 305 TBI or TPI.Both engines have agoodamountof torque over the 4.3. The TBI makes about the same HP somthing like 185HP the TPI makes a little more i think its something like 210 if im not mistaken.

 

By the way good looking car. My first car was a 88 formula i picked up for 2200 bucks when i was 16. Just a little 305 TBI auto not the fastes F-Body around but still more than a match for most V6 guys. I sold her four years ago and still to this day miss that car. SNIFF.

 

thanks cbr it still needs some work though
im gonna take some highres pics once its all done

good to know the camaro guys agree with me.
i asked my one friend if i should put 20 on it he said make it 100. so i think thisll be fun.

 

I think it's going to be a lot closer than all you guys think.

 

[sm=youreright.gif]It would be a good race. TBI is going to be close race should be good. TPI im thinking is going to pull ahead and keep pulling.

 

HEY, i've got two 15" jl's in the back of mine, soon going where the rear seats are and two twelves in the back, all easily removable for racing tho! That's kool to see guys putting 15's in camaros. I LOVE IT!!! my friends got a 99 zr-2.Granted the bigger tires slow it down a bit, my 3.4 gets him. But i also beat a 91 iroc with the 305... I'll agree with JD, it'll be alot closer then everyone thinks. Those 4.3 s10's extrremes are fast little machines.

 

TPI cars fall flat on thier face at 4500 rpm, the only hope they have is in the launch. The fact is a 91 TPI car is a low 16 high 15 cat AT BEST. and the truck in question is about the same. Just cause it's a V8 does not mean it's fast.
