going against a z71

dksfowler · 06-09-2007, 11:16 AM

hey guys my best freinds brother just bought a 01 z71 extended cab with a lift and 33'2 on it looks like it it might have some work done to it. my friends is saying that it'll pull my titan 05 crew flowmaster muffler other than that stock. what do u think? should i. or should i wait till i get the 2* timming? oh one other thing would i be better off locking it in to 4lo and letting them think i was in hi or not?

ohh man just run him straight up. use 2 wheel drive. if hes on big tires i can gaurantee your going to roast him.

I think he means a tug of war. Using 4Lo will help, but if you don't want to cheat, you HAVE to get the jump on him. As long as you have the slack taken up on the tow strap, when they say go....FLOOR that ***** for all its got and don't let off!! You can't think about any damage on a pull off! If you get that slight pull on him before he goes, he'll never recover.

yes i mean pulling not racing already smoked my other buddies 06 z71 with anintake and dauls. but really just floor not ease in to it alittle i was afraid of breaking loose and then he'll have me

i really dont think one can outpull the other to be totally honest

dksfowler · 06-09-2007, 11:47 AM

well someone has to out pull the other. dont they. i dont think that both of us will just sit there but maybe.

titanical · 06-09-2007, 11:49 AM

unless you have a locker you pretty much already lost..... cause im pretty sure he does..... or does he?

dksfowler · 06-09-2007, 11:53 AM

im nut for sure but im sure a few things have been done to the engine probably. as he does have a lift and 33's and the twin hood scoops

dksfowler · 06-09-2007, 11:55 AM

ill find out the next couple of days what all was done to it like i said he just bought yesterday. my buddy drove it and he has driven mine and said there is no way he can pull beside me and run but he thinks it will out pull me

the best way to win is to keep on the brakes until he starts spinning, then ease into it and he wont stand a chance.

GaryB · 06-09-2007, 02:57 PM

Theres a few videos on youtube of guys doing tug of wars.....someone does pull the other usually.

If he's got a locker and you don't, then your done for.

dksfowler · 06-09-2007, 04:39 PM

he knows the trick about the brakes also so i was going to say when we tighten the strap up then we both have to let ofthe brake before the say go. ill find out if he has a locker i doubt it if he does then forget it i wont do it. lol

Are you guys doing this on pavement???!!! Tires are going to play a big part. If on pavement, street tires would be best IMO. Also - put some weight in the bed. A 4-wheeler, or a couple of tractor weights - maybe even a dozen drunk friends. Definitely use 4-lo.

dksfowler · 06-10-2007, 08:03 AM

ok he does not have a locker. and yes i will be doing this on pavement. cause he has mudders on his and i got bridgestone dueler revo's 18's.but my buddy said he has something under the dash that say supension module from supertuner and has a 1 and 2 on it to select from but they do not know what it is.
