Turbo Big Block Autocross: Day 1 of the ProTouring Truck Shootout

[@LawrenceTolman]

Stay tuned guys, on the next upload, I'll cover the speed/stop challenge which I kinda turned into my own little drift event haha...

[@sacrificialrubber779]

Tools break from putting drop spindles on my nova to watch this!👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@geardogg]

how much power did you have here?

[@nodemgr]

Great camera work LT. I felt like I was on the course in the truck with you.

[@LawrenceTolman]

@@geardogg this was about 400hp/500tq on 5psi

[@mannys2893]

You built a truck @ home & took it to the track to have fun. What more could you ask for? 💯

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

I love hearing this machine, man. The blow-off and rumble from the exhaust really marry each other perfectly

[@michaelbrown5601]

I noticed the slammed G10 in a few shots. What a fun event with the different trucks. Thanks for bringing us along 😎

[@bigredracer7848]

3👍's up LT thanks for taking us all along with you for the great show

[@timryan8174]

Looks pretty much like an all GM show. That'll tell you something. Great job LT! Looks like a blast!

[@RacingByrds]

That’s what it’s all about!!! I love the in truck footage, were you singing “autocross”?!? All that matters is that you had Fun. Get some 200 tread ware tires!!! Can’t wait to see the day 2 video!!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Yeah, I had the song from waterboy stuck in my head (water sucks, it really really sucks) and somehow that turned into me singing autocross to the same tune haha

[@jacobnicoletti1235]

Rooting for you LT. Love to see ugly getting after it. Keep having fun out there. Ready to see what else the 8.1 can do!

[@mikewest5529]

Man that big girl was ripping!! You gotta get some weight out and some traction!! Those driving skills are great!! Way to go man!! Love watching the journey!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks 👍

[@BrothersNBolts]

I really like this guy. He reminds me of my childhood hero Stacey David from Trucks!

[@davidryan573]

It looked like You were having tons of fun, awesome improvement, you had so much power, could’ve run the air conditioner.

[@diegolomeli6309]

Its great to see stuff like this it makes me want to start doing things to my extended cab Silverado

[@zr1vetteman09]

LT, I think you just inspired me to follow in your path. I've got a big block C10 i've been building for a couple years now and it's a lowered long bed single cab. I plan to run it NA till I get bored and then add boost. I think i''ll set it up for more than just drags after seeing how much fun this was. Thanks! Keep the videos coming, quite the interesting project truck.

[@otsenres1636]

That flatbed was sick!

[@brucenaylor2043]

Very cool ugly truck didn't do bad at all it will be exciting to see how it does next year after a few more upgrades.

[@mikealexander4166]

Nice job there LT. Your past put you in some big shoes to fill. The important thing is it ran the whole day. You can’t race if you can’t start. Looks like it rides pretty good.

[@ZackNakazora1]

Looks goofy as hell but those 18s low pros are what sticks! I was thinking about them on my NBS for autox weekends too.

[@hugieflhr03]

You need All Wheel Drive to get that power down and you can use the trans to downshift for better braking. Great Job for 1st time out! You can see the height on your rear suspension is definitely causing a whipping action.

[@drew7767]

nice job, that is a big truck to wheel around that course. can’t wait to see this truck as you develop it further.

[@robertjohnson4784]

LT good job for a extended cab on stock wheels and tires you probably were the heaviest truck there. Just think liter wheel and low profits tires good times ahead can't wait

[@otsenres1636]

Good stuff,you did awesome for not much prep, thank you for taking us along. 😎

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks for watching!

[@fpsweet66]

There was some amazing trucks there. Can’t wait for the event to get bigger.

[@danhambrick6331]

I definitely see a brake upgrade in the near future...💪💪

[@carlstephens1532]

I've run autocross with the scca way in the past . Yeah it's fun , seeing your truck makes me wonder how my 2001 2500 suburban 4x4 with the 8.1 motor do lol. Just dreaming ,,, having fun when you start is the goal. And you did !

[@Sergeantgrunt]

I totally forgot that you were going to be here and the event going on. Oh well, I'll have to pay more attention next time.

[@inspector13jjf]

I can't wait to take my Typhoon to these events. Still got a lot of work first though.

[@jeremyparsons2944]

Looks like a blast! and a workout (I swear I can feel that front end plow threw the vid :D ) that slammed swb van looks way cooler than it has any right to aswell

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, understeer is the understatement of the century for this one, its almost like you had to turn the steering wheel 25 feet before you actually want the truck to start turning

[@joshoreo6674]

I saw that blue square body with the ladder rack at the end on the hoonigan channel. You should check it out up close. Its definitely bad ass

[@8__D]

It's great to see you're running some decent times, and you still have a lot of upgrades to do to make them even better!

[@LawrenceTolman]

That's the plan!

[@gocart09]

It's funny I follow a lot of these guys on Instagram for motivation You're definitely with a good group of guys that know their stuff

[@LawrenceTolman]

Yeah, I did learn a lot just by talking to some other builders/drivers out there...

[@keithalbrecht4785]

LT, looks like a lot of fun!!! Keep on truckin'!!!

[@fishpony1211]

I just commented on another channel how addicting autox is!! Then this video popped up lol

[@Long-nd8bq]

I gotta drive down from UT for this next year. I love these trucks. I have a GMT400 single cab stepside and a GMT800 ext cab Z71. Might have to slam the step side and run it.

[@unmalo2768]

Great job brother, awesome truck!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks 👍

Passing all these incredible trucks and you stop for a closer look at the S10? 😄😄😄

Doing good man. Keep it up. Love the videos

[@Techangler65]

Well done LT. and yes I bet that is a blast I need to try this track stuff. My need to lower my High Country first LOL it has the power but not the handling

[@Awesomeness3738]

I LOVE the ugly truck! I've been watching you build it for a bit now and I finally subscribed. Excellent video!

[@LawrenceTolman]

thanks for the subscription and the kind words!

[@MaxMax572]

Awesome this is what BBC Chevy trucks are built for! Get that learning curve out of the way.

[@78heloman]

Just for reference, do you know what the top times were like? Awesome video!!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

I think the fastest guys of the day were in the mid 31 second lap time

[@fantomson5035]

The whole video was great. The flatbed right before the end... you really don't want to mess with. Saw it on HOONIGAN... dude has money in that one. Cool video. Looking for the next.

[@LawrenceTolman]

I wish I would've taken a closer look at it when I was there, that truck is amazing

[@fantomson5035]

@@LawrenceTolman built on a NASCAR chassis.

[@jerryburdick8051]

LT, that was awesome! It was so much fun seeing your times go down. Kudos for handling that beast around the course. I kinda' kept hoping you'd counter understeer with some good ol' throttle oversteer, but that's just my inner Beavis coming out. I really dug that pewter (I used to call mine pewtrid) '03 RCSB Sierra during your walkaround.

[@LawrenceTolman]

be sure to check out the next video with the speed/stop challenge, I got the back end out quite a bit on that event

[@juanguerrero2282]

You should take ugly truck to October truck madness in Houston TX

[@grants.9120]

I think you need to box that frame and make sure it has lots of speed holes

[@davidspeck8761]

Almost 1st comment, keep it let’s see some different builds budget pending. I’m thinking V10 f150 02, 03 crew cab

[@AndyR1982]

Always wished svt would have done an 02-03 regcab short box awd supercharged v10 for the Lightning.

[@928rcs8]

I love this truck! I think dropping the air pressure on the rear tire would of had you on the high 37's! Would of gave you that extra grip you were in need for

[@divadyrdnal]

Super cab, big block and turbo, lots of weight on that front end...considering this and your street tires ugly truck did great!

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, those tires were kinda useless on the tight turns

[@lunkydog]

Cool event.

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! Great driving and awesome trucks... :-)

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thank you 👍

[@xalos700r]

You should do a video where you do the "ultimate OEM brake upgrade" for a truck where you put 2019 4 piston calipers, 2 piston calipers in the back and Hydroboost. That will get you a bunch of views and could be used as the Go to source of how to do something like that.

[@SurlyMike]

That's a lot of cool Chevrolets

[@bradbazzett9971]

Way to go lt great video

[@teddymullins3706]

Great job LT I loved it

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks!

[@artysmotorsports]

Man that looks like tons of fun

[@LawrenceTolman]

it was!

[@teaguegearhart9851]

So much fun to watch ugly truck. Those other guys have everything stripped and you got your coke cup holder ready for a good time. Great lap times. Seriously.

[@bryandevries7210]

Looks like good times for essentially stock wheels and tires. Looks like a lot of fun in the slalom. I thought there would be more trucks there?

[@LawrenceTolman]

I think there were a total of around 60 that registered, I didn't get a lot of footage of the others though

[@AndyR1982]

Kinda wondering if the hot lapping is helping keep heat in the exhaust housing. I know consecutive laps the brain reacts better too, but wondering if you should wrap the hotside to help some.

[@mikewest5529]

Step one, like!! Step two, watch!

[@ValarAmstaffs]

Hmmm, sure would be nice to see a full blown race truck built in your shop soon. LS powered ‘67 Chevy short step side would be nice...

[@LawrenceTolman]

I'd love to build a full race truck, and the C-10 would be a perfect platform... send me an email if you've got a project you need some help on! [e-mail]

[@Todd_S]

Great job LT!

[@bernieVI]

loving the truck...

[@Silkmaster4200]

Hey @Lawrence LT Tolman. I think be better keep the 4.30 gears. or 4.10's. Main thing much wider tires. 3.42 i think be slower on that track. Just my opinion lol. 3.42 be good on a faster track for sure. Just going by the results. Doesn't take much to improve my guess lol.

[@unmalo2768]

At the 16:39 mark, that truck was too cool!!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

it was fun to watch it go around the track with a ladder rack and a flat bed

[@CJColvin]

Let's go Ugly Truck.

How sweet is that!!! I'm in

Nice job dude👍👍👍

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks 👍

[@savagebuiltperformance]

Good job man👍🏁

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks! 👍

[@stuartstogdill2406]

You should have gotten some better tires at least. No need for pure autocross ones, but a straight summer performance tire would have made a HUGE difference in the handling.

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

Recently noticed how all short wheel base trucks have become head turners. Too bad you didn't start off with one since they never made a SWB 8.1L.

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, I do like how thte RCSB's look

[@richardcoleman9645]

Put the back wing on your truck. Keep the pressure down on the back end. Drift those big turns. Good luck.

[@LawrenceTolman]

Not a bad idea

[@RHYNOMAN12]

Plans for heavier sway bar out back? Torsion bar cut to fit w/welded arms? NASCAR sway bar from eBay?

[@LawrenceTolman]

the next upgrade will be stiffer springs and lowering the truck a little further

[@gocart09]

I new you would get hooked. Can't wait to see what you do to improve btw what helmet are you using ?

[@LawrenceTolman]

Racequip I believe

[@alvinnelson4439]

Great Job LT ,do you know how you did overall?

[@LawrenceTolman]

in my T2 class there were 9 trucks competing total, (not all did both events), but I finished second to last for both auto x and speed/stop

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

were those Foose wheels on that s10 with the black hood?

[@joshbrake84]

I know this truck is to damned nice. But it would be awesome to see at a Cleetus and Cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@justinredman4389]

At the beginning of your different runs, the truck seems to want to dart right... Is that torque or suspension or you??

[@joshbrake84]

The S10 at 16:27 is what I want to build one day

[@robertfoley6430]

Should have found a short bed truck an stuck that 8 O in it with some bigger tires an a lowering kit.

[@sicsam1]

Was that lucky's truck after your first run?

[@joemadoo]

Bad ass!

[@simentalg]

Who the heck is the announcer ? He definitely sounds like Doug Stanhope

[@LawrenceTolman]

his name is Rob Byrd

[@rockingarchangel]

Weight reductions in front end. Light weight wheels and maybe some nicer suspension components. Should be perfect

[@richardploeser4267]

Taller tires, wider track?

[@juanguerrero2282]

Did you have it in drive or in a gear? Also did you experience wheel hop or no ?

[@LawrenceTolman]

I put it in 2nd which worked good, and yeah, it did wheel hop pretty good a few times

[@peachdaddy]

What gauges are you running in your Pilar pod also how did you secure yours?

[@LawrenceTolman]

autometer boost and fuel pressure, AEM wideband. They're just stuck in with a little plastic push pin thing, but it is kinda janky to be honest...

[@wayneparks5601]

You could pick up a lot of time with wheels and tires.

[@richardharvey8939]

8.1s rule . Ugly truck is great.

[@ucaguy09]

Is it bad that I'm using ugly truck as the test bed for what mods I make to my truck? Lol how are those spring clamps working btw?

[@LawrenceTolman]

feel free to use whatever you like! I actually took em off because it didn't seem to make a lot of difference

[@ucaguy09]

@@LawrenceTolman good to know. Did the rear sway bar make a difference?

[@michaelgeorge163]

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

You need some Kumo Ecsta V720s on your truck to make it come alive, trust me. ;)

[@LawrenceTolman]

i know, better tires would be very helpful but for some reason the rules of this competition specifically did not permit Kumho tires

[@jeromeburrasca6710]
