Have any of you guys raced any slightly modded 4.3 S10's/Sonoma's?? The guy in the Sonoma has a few mods, the only one I know about is an intake. The reason I ask is I raced him in my 1997 Tahoe with a Vortec 350 and got spanked

I told him I'd go home and get my 'Bird and he said he was on empty, so I imagine he's had is clock cleaned a time or two by a thirdgen...

My car is a basically stock 1984 Firebird with a 305 with a Holley 600 on it, it's had a fresh rebuild, but the idiot broke a ring putting it back together, so it smokes a tiny bit and burns a little oil I'm just going to drive it how it is until I can get my 377 going. Can my broke Firebird take him?

 

What year you talking here?


I had a 1991 GMC sonoma.With a rebuilt 4.3.Edelbrock cam and chip,edelbrock tes headers and there intake.Along with a 5.7 TBI.


It ran pretty good for being a v6.My mom has a 96 tahoe with a vortec 350 in it.(330hp crate motor)I know my sonoma would have beat it.

 

Yea, the 4.3s are quick. I just got a 95 blazer with the 4.3 and it has some pickup. It is faster than my friend's mom's 94 Suburban. The burban has a 5.7TBI motor, but I think the weight just kills it.

I think it's around '97-'99... not real sure though

 

i don't know....my 98 S-10 SS truck is faster than my 84 Z28 with cam and a few other goodies. My camaro won't be quicker than my truck until I get the 355 vortec headed motor next winter. BUT the truck is a very fun daily driver. So I wouldn't rule out the sonoma as losing yet.

 

I thought so... damn... My Tahoe feels faster than my 'Bird, but I wasn't sure if it really is, or just feels that way. I'm thinking it might be, unfortunatly

 

well my truck isn't exactly "stock"

 

Neither is mine

Actually, I'm full of Only thing my Tahoe has is a K&N
