I would recommend finding a 598 big block chevy, probably at your local scrap yard. Throw a big cam and maybe 3 or 4 shots a NOS, and then you should be making decent power.

Sell it and buy a Challenger.


These trucks are designed to haul cargo and other ****. Not haul ass, especially 4x4s.

Man, why do you gotta go and steal my ideas. I said that as soon as I read the title.

So it uses oil and requires a gallon of water before every trip. No Chevy here...

I don't like em either.

Yeah the new stuff is easy to build power, but what fun and challenge is that?

Plus they all sound like ass and sound the same. :flipthebird:

Well, how fast do you want to go? You can read my sig for all the "go fast" stuff that I've done to my truck. If I lined up my truck now to my truck a year ago, my truck now would win by a mile.

But, it's still not a sports car. If I lined up next to a stock Tuned Port 350 C3 Corvette, I'd get my ass kicked.
