Anyone read the article In Hot Rod (October issue) about Night Stalker?
Jim Neuenfeldt took a 03 short bed 4X4 Silverado, installed 6.0 L engine pretty much stock,57lbinjectors,ARP rod bolts, a mild camshaft, installed a T76 turbo, 75 shot of nitrous. Replace the trans with a 4L80E and he's turning 10.90's on street tires! Says when he wants to race he just pushes the 4 wheel button and rolls!
The thing is a real sleeper! He's got plans for 9's with a 409 engine.

 

Thanks for the heads up
I will have to check it out.
There have been a few folks that have done similar with 4X4's.

It is amazing to me how they can keep all those drive train parts together.
I bet that steering wheel feels kinda strange when the front end gets traction issuues.

I prefer watching a conventional burnout and maybe a starting line wheelie myself

 

there is a video of it, i have it somewhere on my hard drive, i think i had gotten it last may or something.

 

He said in the interview, "for burnouts I shut off the 4 wheel drive and light up the rear tires"

 

he's on NLOC.NET under the name Parish. Theres a ton of videos of him everywhere.

 

Any links in particular? Sounds like a neat truck!

 

He was here for a bit.

That is one BAD truck. Looks stock. I saw videos of it then the Hot Rod article. That is more of an SS than Chevy every thought of.

 

if you goto a site at Fuelslut.net and register theres tons of videos of his truck destroying everything it runs. I'm registered over there and have watched all of his vids. Most are from the street races but they have the 10 sec track one on there too.

 

Im suprised you can even run the 4x4 on paved road.... The 93 Bronco 4x4 I had wasnt driveable on the road with the 4x4 switched on...any kind of decent turn would cause some serious problems

 

heres a BIG video of this truck street racing ........

I'm not sure what kind of quarter miles you run in your neck of the woods, but usually it is a straigt line where the binding problem of a locked four wheel drive is not a problem if diriven in a straight line.

 

But... I think he was talking about driving on the road, especially since the guy wants to have the fastest modern street-driven truck on the planet. He didn't even mention the quarter-mile...

 

Settle down children...theres probably 10 million types of 4wheel drive out there. Drivability issues arise when differentials start getting locked. Alot of trucks run 4wd on the street. But it needs to stay in 4wd HI. It transfers power to all 4 wheels, but nothing is locked. When it goes into low, the center diff gets locked. Makes it a bit harder to drive. REAL drivability issues arise when any of the front/rear diffs are locked. A turn at any speed on pavement will cause chirping squealing tires. Maybe thats when some of yall are talkin about, but that is not an option that chevy offers...so yes, a chevy truck could run 4wd HI on the street.

 

I guess if he only ran it at the track, and trailored it there.....but I havent seen one run personally. My Bronco ran in 4x4 High unless you switched it Low range.... normal everday driving on a paved road, which includes turning, was not possible with any type of 4 wheel drive engaged... it wouldnt just squeel..it would buck and sink...some decent vibration as well.

The only types I know of are the 4x4 High/Low ...and all wheel drive. All wheel drive being the only real street application.
