Message:
I have a buddy that has a 98 or 97 RC s10 automatic with the 4.3 vortech in it and he wants to race me and my RC Dak. Do i have a chance. If so what would be the best way to race him...rolling start or dead stop after AI have warmed the tires. Clueless and scared. If he don't beat me it should be a close race I mean a close one I think!!! Well I know exactly what I am going to do when I do race him I am going to tell him that i will be right back and I am going to go take out my airfilter, that should give it a little boost ihope Help !! thanks for your help!!!!

Unless he's modified his vehicle this isn't a race at all. You should deal him an absoultley crushing defeat if your truck is also reg cab 2WD.

I agree with the others providing he is stock. 4.3 S-10s run in the lower 16s in the 1/4 while your truck should be in the lower 15s.Leave the breather on. Don't get nervous and spin the wheels too much on the line - just come out easy and then get in to it.

Do you think that my 3.9 liter V6 5 speed would beat a 91 S 10 ext cab with a 4.3 auto with a performance chip and a shift kit? The S 10 is on bags. Mine is a bone stock 2001 Reg Cab with the 3.55 axle ratio.

Not all S-10's are slow. My friend has a 98 SS S-10 4.3 Vortech 5 speed. It has the hypertech,a flowmaster catback, and a air intake. It will run 10.0's in the 1/8 and 15.6 in the 1/4. It will beat my other friends 99 RC R/T in the 1/8. He's about to put a 100 shot on it so I'm definitly impressed with his S-10.

the only reason he beats your friends R/T is probably because the dodge is spinnig the tires and can't hook up before the race is over. do the 1340 and see what happens.
after your friend blows his engine in the s10 he can call the dodge boy to tow him home =)even if he dont hook up the nos, the dodge will out last the "rock" (chevy dont lie when they say their trucks are like rocks)

You guys are crazy if you think all 4.3L are slow. Ever heard of the Syclone or Typoon they wil eat up an R/T any day, fastest sport truck ever produced untill the lightning and no Dodge can touch either. I rebuilt my 4.3 and put NOS on it and it runs high 11's, don't think any of you boys can run with me in any of your Dodges unless you gotta viper.

People, if were talking stock engines, then the newer 4.3 puts out 200hp. the older ones only 160. 318 puts out 235hp. S-10 is lighter. If both were 5speed, it would be an entertaining race, But the Dodge would still win. PS, correct me if I'm wrong about the HP numbers. I pulled em out of my head. :-]

I think your numbers are pretty close, Chris. I owned an S-10 and a S-10 blazer and didn't like either one of them. I drove other S-10s and haven't found a STOCK one that ran very well yet. I even beat one with my old '95 Ranger. I swear that the truck that I drive at work runs better than the S-10 and it is a full size short bed Chebbie 4.3. Now a close friend of mine has a S-10 with a 400 small block........never mind. It ain't close to stock. He has 10 sec time slips though. :-)

This is one I know something about.
About a month ago I am driving in my 93 4x4 with 5.2 and auto tranny. All of a sudden this new 4x4 s-10 comes up next to me at about 50mph, looks over at me, then nails it. I do aswell and then turn off thinking its over. He cuts across 2 lanes to get behing me and pulls up next to me at the next red light. I know whats going on now and he motions me to roll down my window. I do and he says, "Hey man, I only got a six". "Uh.....ok" was my half witted reply. I rev a bit and nail as the light goes green. I get him off the line of course, and his front bumper stays even with where the bed meets the cab(I got a reg cab/long bed) until we hit about 60-70mph and then I start to slowly pull away. my rear bumper was half a truck length in front of his front bumper when he decided he had enough.
Now my truck was stock with about 110,000 miles on it. It is definantly out of tune with an exhaust leak or two, worn out O2 sensor, IAC sensor, TPS, and muffler, plus a filthy fram air filter. Plus, the tranny really lags and probably needs adjusting or rebuilding. I am not even sure if I had it floored or not.
Do any of you guys know the low down on the cyclone or typhoon? Saw one a Krispy Kream the other night.

Please don't waste your gas on an S10 if you have a V8. Its just not fair to the little guy. Save it for a real truck. That is why I bought a Dakota, its the smallest truck with a V8 and a 5spd. It simply rules, which is unfortunately why we all compare our trucks to each others. It will be our eventual downfall. There are no other trucks that equal it in stock form, which is why we are always fighting over which is better. RT vs. 4.7L, 5spd vs auto etc. On my other car list, SHO, we only argue about other types of cars, because everyone there knows that the 5spds will kill the autos and they are all basically the same engine so there is no contrast. Oh, and the next person that tells me you can special order an S10 with a V8 and a 5spd will get shot, I swear!! Grady-Houston

The newer 4.3's had 190 hp, which is decent. No stock s10 v6 will beat a stock Dakota V8 if driven properly, but when you add a turbo to one then of course it will. I would love to see an S-10 run 0-60 in under 8 seconds. Let's compare apples to apples.

nightmare! watch out for them, thats why they
go up in value. I saw a wrecked typhoon for
sale for $15,000 and the only thing intact was
the frame, motor, and drivetrain
as a stock vehicle, they were the only chevy

Please, please, unless you are sure of numbers don't post things. The Sy/Ty was not a Twin Turbo, it was just a single turbo 4.3L making 280HP and 360Lb-Ft of torque. They ran about 5 secs to 60 for a Sy and 5.5 secs for a Ty. And if they weren't AWD they would never have been able to launch. Such a bad truck/suv its not even funny. If you see one consider yourself lucky, and don't bother trying to race one. Most are for show, hopefully.

Actually the Typhoon and Syclone are anything but light. they weigh as much 9 actually slightly more) than a 4x4 blazer or 4x4 s10 due to the turbo and the associated turbo parts.
As for whoever said the SY/Ty is a twin turbo there was no twin turbo SY/Ty from the factory. My bro in law has 2 TYphoons and 3 Syclones and we designed one to be a twin turbo but it needs head work cause it wont process that much air. from the stock manifold. hes trying to have a dual intake manifold casted.
Yeah the only way youll beat a Typhoon is if hes not runing right or if youre modded to hell and hes stock.
Forget trying to run a Syclone. I had one and I could beat prety much anything ( with a few exceptions) even if i was stock
