Domestic Truck in Champaign, Big Mouth, Small Truck Options

[TotalEclipse97]

This guy i see at work all the time rants and raves about being a "street racer". He's in his late 20's early 30's. I asked him what he ran. He proceeded to glorify his Z71 Chevy that was putting down 320hp to the wheels. I didn't want to make fun of him ( even though i should have ) so i asked him what/who he raced. "rice burners" he said...."little imports with big tips"... he went on (again) to tell me about smoking some guy in a ford v8 triton. I think this guy needs to race the right people...so if anyone's up for some fun here's the truck's description


Z71 Chevy XT
All-Wheel Drive
454 with Headers
Custom Y-Pipe
Stock Muffler System (no glass paks or anything fancy)
2.25-2.50 exhaust (dual tips)
Green on Silver
Tinted Windows (with little stickers)
Nothing flashy
K&N Filter
No lift kit,custom rims or anything just stock

and he said something about his throttle body but whatever. 320 to the wheels


have fun guys

I don't think it was fuel cut as far as the ECU pulling time due to too much air flow. I'd bet on a knock situation first personally as I can't see the 2.4/14B set-up pushing really being able to flow enough air to push a 2G MAF.

More of a 'not enough fuel' thing. I'm wondering if the 2.4 is able to swallow more fuel than the 450's are able to provide at 16psi on the 14B.

Not much other reason for knock on his set-up with a 14B. I'd feel better if it was being logged though when the symptoms were occurring to watch the ECU yank time via the logger though.
