Place your bets...

My best friend is buying a 2002 Chevy 1500 Regular cab short bed 4x4 with a 4.8 V-8. Who's gonna win the race? It looks stock, except for a Flowmaster exhaust. I'll have an answer for you on Monday...

Lose the boat on the trailer and you might have a chance.

I think he'll take you by a length. Might want to renegotiate lengths for the second run.

The boat won't be attached for the race. Wish it was nice enough outside to even attach the boat. And you think he'll take me? Even with my EdgeAccelMSDK&NFlowmasterDenso'd truck?? I don't know what gears he has, but I do think that his tires are smaller than mine.

I don't know what your outcome will be considering it's 4x2 against 4x4. All I can say is that my old '99 4x4 with 4.6 and would always get trounced by my friends '99 Chevy 4x4 with the 4.8. These were practically identical trucks, reg. cab short beds etc. Every once in a while I would have a chance when he broke traction and did nothing but spin, then I would pass by. Good luck!

Well, I'm hoping that my mods will recoup for my bigger tires. And the Chevy has 130K highway miles on it, so hopefully it has low gears for the highway mileage...

Haven't had a chance to race him yet, but, it'll be a good race.

My buddy has the same style truck. He has 33" Buckshots and dual Flows. I am stock except for dual Magnaflow. His is 4.8 mine is 5.4. He beat me by 1 length. I had some wheel spin off the line, so I might have been able to keep up or keep w/in 1/2 truck lengths.
