The dude has a 1996 Chevy 1500 Truck with a vortec. Said he couls run 12s or 13s in teh quarter. I asked him what he had done and he said it was STOCK. I then told him i would give him 100$ if he ran 13s I told him at BEST we was going to run high 14s

LOL.. maybe because your tahoe could run a better 1/4? lol Though does the OP mean the vortec v8, or vortech as in the blower?

OOPS!Hope he didn't mean VORTECH as in blower with about 12 pounds of boost or you are out $100.Chances are slim though since he said stock,Probably meant 1/8 mile.That would be closer to the truth.

If his Tahoe runs better I'd be surprised... Hell my Denali runs mid 14s (with a dyno tune, LTs, and catback on an L92, with the stocker 20s) 15 stock.

But seriously, I can see the dudes truck running those times.... In the 1/8th.

LOL.. I know, I was being sarcastic about the tahoe, though I would bet it'd probably be pretty close between the two.. No way in hell if the guy the OP is talking about is running an N/A 96 C1500 truck, could he run 13's.. Even with a tune and DR's he'd still be mid to high 14's.. So yeah, I'd have to agree with you there.. he could run 12's.. in the 1/8th..

Yeah, but I bet it gets better than the super awesome 13.3MPG COMBINED I get in mine...

Though, mine is all chromey... yeah, that makes it all better.
