vette dude Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 what does the truck have in it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Mike Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I assume you mean the "little truck" It's a Stock 2.4L EFI SOHC Mitsubishi 4G64. It goes 101 MPH. Class record is 120. This is it's first year so I'm ragging out the Chassis setup and benchmarking. I used to drive my Bro'-in-Law's 29 Roadster until he sold it. That's how I got hooked on the sport. We've got a Vette running 200MPH on the dirt. He just set a new record Sunday Car #128, Ed Van Scoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySSouth Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Did you run your SS??? How did it run? Top speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Mike Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 No, the SS is the "Push Truck/Support Vehicle. I tow the little truckwith it. I'd have to put in a full roll cage, Fire supression system, driveshaft loop, ballistic transmission blanket, hood pins, remove the stock seats, diconnect the steering wheel lock, door locks, remove the winshield wipers, shield the fuel lines and a bunch of other stuff to pass Tech. with the SS. I does get some looks out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Looks like fun. BTW, isn't this how the CNC guy from "American HotRod" got banged up? Stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Mike Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Don't know about that, we haven't had anyone seriously hurt since 2002. If you watch the show BIG, Wink Eller (the BIG guy in bib overalls, ponytail, and beard ) is our chief Motorcycle Tech. He has a Harley that does 150+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davechevyss Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Looks like fun. BTW, isn't this how the CNC guy from "American HotRod" got banged up?

davechevyss Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 i like the 29 rod better than the pickup, but good luck with the mitshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette dude Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 what are u going to do with the truck?? 4g63 and a turo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Mike Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Actually I'm looking at a MAF Hack, SAFC and a Cam Kit. If I do the 4G63 DOHC Head swap, I get moved into Modified Class = higher record. and if I do the turbo, then the motor class is upped 2 notches. Then I'm competing with chevy 283/307's and ford 289/305's the record is up in the 180mph range. I'd rather do a complete swap to the SBC. Messing with a Gen 1 ECU is a pain in the A$$ and an aftermarket ECU is $1500. I can get drop in a fairly nice 283 for the cost of making this 4 banger go fast. It appears you know your mitsu's. I liked the 29 rod better also, but I'm only 3 spots behind the new owner in points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
