Was watching the rest of the drag week videos on www.1320video.com and Parish went 10.08 or 10.06 in the heat the other day. If I remember right he's only using a 75 shot to get off the line too. Then he strapped on the stock wheels and tires and towed his trailer another 1,000 miles. Also the truck with him in it weighed in at 5,000lbs.

Face it fellas, the chevy boy in a REAL TRUCK, not a drag machine is showing us all how it's done.

He finished first at drag week, but congrats to Justin Burcham from JPC/ NMRA for coming in 2nd.

 

HI!... You also forgot to mention that on the ride home PARISH shattered his rearend and drove it in 4X4 (front diff) to get home. Congrats out to JIM for a fantastic showing! I've been keeping an eye on his truck for awhile now. Lost of update posts in the BLOWER/SUPERCHARGER section of this site.

 

Chevys never blow rear ends. But who cares, look at how many miles and passes his truck has gone on that rear. The fastest lightning can't even drive on the street, let alone cross country.

Look at how many miles he drove that week and how many passes he made too though. He's got the fords beat hands down right now, there is no argument.

Not to say that Parish's isnt a sick truck. but how do you say it is a REAL TRUCK and not a drag racing machine. he has a completly upgraded drivetrain built motor, built trans, a turbo and a roll cage. looks like a drag machine to me.

 

[QUOTE=meansvt00][QUOTE=WaveBlaster785] Face it fellas, the chevy boy in a REAL TRUCK, not a drag machine is showing us all how it's done.

I think he is leaning more towards parish drives his truck all over and everyday not sure if thats true. but if so that is truely bad *** in my book chevy ford or whatever

 

I think he's just saying that it's still a street vehicle and still pulls the numbers down with the big guys.

I'm not sure if you read what drag week was all about, but Parish managed to leave home here with us last sunday morning, and we made it back 6 days and 16 hours later after his truck traveling over 2300 miles on 87 octane gas (except for at the track) trailering his ENTIRE garage behind him most of the way and made it back in one (basically) peice.

And a correction... I was the one that broke the rear end, lol.. OPPS!

 

His set up is...

cmotorsports 408, calies crank, oliver rods, je pistons, arp everything.
AFR 225 heads
234/232 595/590 115+1 camp cam
pt88 turbo
cmotorsports turbo kit with 4" down pipe and 4" cut out
60mm hks waste gate
blitz boost controler
undersized air to water intercooler
alky contol meth set up
megasquirt for my fueling and nitrous control
95lb injectors
racetronics duel intank pump set up with stock fuel lines, rails, regulator
4 nitto 305/45/18 555r's
finishline transmission built 4l80e
stock 2500 tcase
stock front and rear diffs

There is a tad more power adders than just the pump gas that is boasted. I too race my truck and I also used it this weekend to move my son and his wife into their new home. I will also load it up and go fishing or vacation from Michigan to Texas.

I do have much respect for his set up and what he has accomplished!

I'd run go get a Chevy if I was you.

 

Parish's Chevy is Bad@ss!! My buddy has a Gen 1 Lightning in Indy that weighs 4600 with Big Block & Turbo that Runs high 9's. This truck is Street driven to the Track & back home. It also takes Jeff Sparkman to work once in a while. I'd love to see Parish Race this Truck. This would be a great Race!
It goes 9.95 on 13# Boost. here's a Video link.

My money would be on Jeff.

 

WOW Ralph, that was a nice run
Woo Hoo @ Jeff

Parish WHO

Funny how quick we forget about out L brothers that drive cross country and punch out low 10's

Fatest Gen II daily driver is CHIKIN1 w/ a 10.2 the last i heard.


But there's others like Skin Head, that are right there too

HD's White truck has also gone 10.2's (maybe better). Now it has a 2v Alum Motor in it and although on it's voyage run they only ran it "all motor" and settled for NUMEROUS 10's, (qualified #1 with a 10.8s and ran in the 10s all day even going to the Semis), Jim drove it 7 hours home

So dont make it like this Parish dude is some kind of God cause he has a Chevy that runs low 10's, The L's have been doing it for QUITE SOME TIME,
AND DRIVING THEM CROSS COUNTRY TOO

Dont get me wrong, I think the truck has made a clear statement, and I WOO HOO him and his accomplishments it all comes down to MONEY
(something I have NONE OF) &^@($@^$%@$%(@$^%(@$^%@$(@$

 

I haven't forgot about those guys. But I just think it's healthy to have a little competition. I also made this thread to all the nay sayers who gave me so much **** last time there was a thread and told me that Johnny was this and that, and that Parish wasn't even close to him. This just shows that Parish is right there, and in cooler weather I'd say he'll probably go better than a 9.70. Which is awesome for a street truck.

I didn't see any lightnings at drag week, maybe next year.

And Rob it doesn't ALL come down to money. Sure there are people who throw money at vehicles and go fast, but others like myself like to spend alot less and still find ways to reach our goals.

Agreed on the competition, the more the merrier

Can you share some of those secrete's with me
PLEASE
I can use all the help I can get these days, I think I'm the slowest L in the frigging community I tell you

 

400+ ci and a big turbo would put every gen II in the 9's. Mod motors just haven't been around as long as the pushrods. All in due time. I think you'll see alot of street driven 9 sec trucks with turbo's soon. Hell Frank's about to be in the 10's on a completely stock motor and tranny.

 

That combo is now about to reside in my truck
