i would say your pretty much set with just the 310 and intake, as far a cheap theres nothing cheap about making anything fast, but you could buy a interccoler pipe, maybe some spray

[jethro]

spray and adding traction maybe some traction bars will help you launch faster

[allevil]

Practice your 4 wheel drive launch.

He's gonna spin the tires, while you scratch all 4 then take off like a Son-Of-A-Gun!

Throw a little Salt on the Wound after you beat him. Say something about Having the A/C on, your GPS not keeping up, or you were on the Phone when you were Launching and didn't see him get sideways.

Just a little dig while he's mad. You should have a One Up on him for a while.

^^^^ i like all of thoes

Whow Whow Whow...You say he has a 66 GTO with a 427???
That is a Cheby engine. You mean he cannot even keep a Poncho engine in there? I wouldnt even try to argue with him because he is obviously not in his right mind.
That should have a 389 pontiac engine in there.

Spank him any way you can to make his castrated Pontiac look bad. Then tell everyone that its actually a chevy.

Traction bars, Toyo Proxes, and nitrous. You could use a small shot of nitrous, like a .067 jet or something and be safe for a few passes. Launch the truck at 15-18 psi in 4wd high and hang on. He won't know what hit him when you bust his a$$ off the line.

thanks for all the advise... as you all know not to many people give our trucks the respect that their due... what tpe of traction bars and nitrous you running?

Is it a stroker pontiac (ie 400 punched out to 427) or is it a BBC 427? Either way it all depends on what he has done to the engine.
