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

Nobody has mentioned it yet, but it could be spark blowout too.  I've felt that and its very much like fuel cut.

That seems a little familiar to me too! Pull like a beast to 4k and then fall on its face...

That is exactly what it felt like. Right before i shifted it just "klunked out" (if that's a word). It didn't stall the car ...it was as if the engine just said "enough" for about .005 secs

To keep up the second discussion in this thread... I was getting spark blowout after running too lean and melting the plugs pretty severly. With a gap so large you could not even measure it the spark was blowing out at around 4k. Lesson learned about AFR...
