I have been looking around the truck boards here for a couple of days and I think it is funny
1st gen...mostly how to fix it and keep it running
3rd gen ...mostly how to make it look better cosmetics and such
2nd gen...a great mix of both plus how to get either more mpg or power

 

well, 1st gens are old and need to be kept running, 2nd gen well, we need power and mpg, 3rd gens are new and set like jets.

 

You run against any at the track? My bud up at the gas and repair has a totally stock5.7 that I can beat through two lights, but I understand they wind up a little higher. Just wondering if you've seen thier times.

 

I saw a hemi ram(dont know anything more about it than that) run a 16.82 at 85 my 74 satellite stock with a 2bbl 318 and a 3.55 gear ran 16.6 at 84 now I understand there is about a 2500 pound diffrence between the two but I would think they should be faster.

 

3rd gens 5.7's ...bone stock run betwwen 10.4 to 10.6 give or take a tenth in the 1/8th i was running a 10.3's with just 1.7 rr and my throttle body/open air cleaner and headers no gears yet ect............there are a few here that race at the track ......needless to say i toy with them all night long.......sometimes i sit at the light for a second and still pass them right before or at half track in the 1/8th mile then put my 4 ways on and hit the brakes right before the finish line (midnight racing here at the track $5.00 run as many times you want against anyone) im hoping i can get out there this friday night i still havent got any new times with the 210x and tune.......

 

That 210x is the bomb. That thing just pulls and pulls. I understand most of the concepts concerning lift, duration, and lobe seperation, but I don't understand this deal. Marty knows his ****. That Hughes1828 had a good shot at beating a jet from 50-100, but by the time you got to 50 a vw bug would have kicked your *** in the 1/4. The 210x kicks in for the first time and you smile and think.... but yeah, when is it gonna fall on it's face? Then it doesn't. You know what I mean?

 

yes this cam is just flat out the best cam ive had yet to date... i ran the hughes at 4* advanced so it wasnt to bad but nothing compared to this!..i love it on the highway with my ram air setup its just never ending power........i already found a track at my new duty station and its a 1/4 mile so hopefully in july sometime after we are settled in i can get some 1/4mile times
