Turbo LS '95 Chevy: Grandpa's Former Daily Driver Turns Into Drag Truck! (Test Hits with a Dragy)

Back in June I made a video about my friend Dylan Peacock's (@diggin_z71) turbo LS swap OBS Chevy pickup. Not only is it a bad ass street drag truck but its 4x4 too! Today we took it to Emerald Coast Dragway in Holt FL to do some no prep testing. Running the track backwards launching on the bare asphalt from the shutdown for true street data. He even lets me take it for a rip too!

There is an epidemic of mumble-mouthed young men, who don't look others in the eye, sitting around, waiting for life to happen to them. It's good to see bright-eyed, articulate young men making things happen, creating tangible products, and participating in life.

[@Stapleton42]

Much appreciated man. My goal is to create more of the latter through my own actions

dylan making moves. took his truck further than mine. we started making the 4x4s go fast around the same time, but i stopped pushing my truck cause i reached its limit with the manual and didn't feel like swapping it to an auto cause the manual is what i love about my truck.

That’s a fast truck there man. But it definitely needs a cage and some harnesses.

What a beast of a truck! It is a shame the track was a wash out. Being a passenger in your rail job is quite unusual and you could see that in his face. Love the lightweight race fasteners, take a wire cutter to those tails to dress them up a bit. Lastly, what killed the car, was that a valve in the shot? keep up the good work brother.
