Is your truck an auto or standard same with the car? But would guess that celica will own u. Its a car and made to run alittle better then a 3.9 truck. It will come down to power to wieght in the end.
But if i was u i would race on 91octan gas and no more then a 1/3 in the tank. Plus make sure u have as little wieght in the truck as u can get

better bring your lunch. better yet, some N2O, about a 50 or 75 shot should do the trick.

"by the way im going to make this race a 1/4 mile because i kno he will beat me on top speed"

Put the smallest tires you can find on the back. That should get you a couple car lengths close to a win

ummm
a v-10 is NOT a 318 with 2 extra cylinders
that would be a 6.5 Liter
the v-10 is an 8 liter
and the v-10s were only rated at like 310 hp and 400 tq
not all that impressive for the weight of the truck

1990 sport RC SB, 1995 318drivetrain, 3.92 gears (came with truck) Powertrax "traction system", 95 dash/steering wheel, hearthrob exhaust, headers, cutout after y-pipe, necessary electric fan add-a-leafs, 30x9.5 mud tires, cranked T-bars, AR 39 15x8 rims, grill guard, roll bars

Sure Kevin, whatever you say. They must be about as slow as your response time. Seeing that the last post on this was over 2 yrs ago!
