Show me where it said "drag racing expert", son. Besides, who's to say that just because I run my bone stock, daily driver pickup down the strip that I don't drive an 8.90 quick rod car down the same strip on Sundays?

 

Is that all you got? Seriously? Time for you to go trolling elsewhere "boss". Thanks for playing.

 

 

Well, YOU were the one bragging about drag racing a 5000 lb brick...ignoring the fact that the EB has more Tq for actual work, which trucks are designed for, in the RPM range most people spend their time in. Yes, the EB has a lot of things to criticize (FE, sound, etc), but Tq/Liter is not one of them. Just the fact it's 3.5L can match your 6.2L is impressive...regardless of what badge it wears.

 

 

 

 

How? It has two Turbos on it what makes that so impressive? Anything can match up power wise to a high horse power engine if you slap enough Turbos on it.

Well its looks to me that no matter what anyone says Boss302 will ALWAYS know better, no matter if you use actual facts with personal experience or if its in writing it will be shot down by mister know it all.

I bet if you posted a video he or she would say it was altered in order to prove a point. Boss302 seems to be someone who really enjoys firing off what he or she considers to be the truth. As I found out yesterday.

If we are talking a 1/4 mile drag race between the 6.2L Silverado and the Ecoboost, stock for stock, I want to see the consistency of the two trucks. It doesn't mean a whole lot to a daily driver if I cannot back my truck's speed up time after time in all different ambient temps and elevations. I give the turbos credit, we all know they can run but, we also know that they must stay cool to produce top numbers.

 

What I would enjoy seeing is the two trucks head to head on a drag strip running them back to back to back. Consistency to me is what matters, not "well mine ran this time once today". I will give credit where credit is due and I'm not too proud to accept defeat when it is eminent but, I'm not surrendering my confidence yet. Give me 3 passes in a row, lining up at the tree together, run the 1/4, then immediately line up at the tree again.

 

That to me will show who is the winner for a drag race and drag race only.

Better yet, let's compare the torque curves between the 6.2L and the EB.

 

Which one has more grunt in the RPMs most of use on a regular basis?

 

i.e. You are yanking a boat up a very steep boat ramp, which truck needs to rev higher to accomplish this task?

 

I asked this once before and it got ignored, I expect the same thing once again.

 

You GM fanboys can defend your purchase all you want and hate on the EB (and again, I would not buy one either, i would much rather have a NA V8) but the fact remains that it is a very strong engine...especially based on power/liter.

The Ecoboost is also capable of mid-14's, I have seen reports as low as 14.3, bone stock.

 

 

 

EBs only do 14s now? What happened to the magic 13 second EBs you were so happy to post about a week or two ago?

I saw a timeslip posted for a 13.8 on another forum. My guess is it was modified.

I wish I had the motivation to go back and find the post where I questioned this and you re-affirmed stock EBs were doing 13s. Your credibility is absolutly zero.

It takes awhile (upper rpm) to get the 5.0 pulling, they don't snap off the line from a stock tune too well imo but once they start going, they are strong. Not as strong as the 6.2 however :chevrolet:

 

 

Well duh! How does the Ford's 6.2 match up against the GM 6.2...wouldn't that be a better comparison?

 

I agree 100% but a Troll is a Troll... Ford should make a better transmission, if they did, I would still be in one. What do you drive, NoMoreGM4Me?

the Hemi 5.7L is a 345CI not a 350, and I find it hard to believe you would smoke one, I suspect you are smoking something though..

 

The Hemi is 390 to your 315 hp, and 490 torque to your 338. There is no way you are smoking them, my guess is they aren't racing because they aren't as stupid as you to be putting everyones life in danger on a public street by trying to show off..

 

 

That would actually be 407lb torque per the website. ;-)

 

i do agree that the stock 5.3 is probably gonna have a hard time keeping up with a stock 5.7 hemi in the 1/4.

 

But now the 6.2 vs. the 5.7 hemi on the other hand......... :chevrolet:

Yep, all of that is fine and dandy until something breaks on it, and you have to sell a kidney to pay for it to be fixed. There already having problems with it now, so whats it going to be like with high miles on it? Probably a broke down piece of crap that will cost a fortune to fix. Sorry, but I'll keep my 6.2 that is "supposedly" not as good as the EB according to you. At least when it needs rebuilt I won't have to sell my vital organs to pay for it.

Hi,

 

I'm new to this forum. My truck is a 07 GMC Sierra 5.3 bone stock.

 

Actually I don't need a truck for work. I just like trucks and especially the new generation of GM trucks.

I can't recall that I've ever pushed the engine over 3500 rpm. My years as a "racer" are long gone.

 

I like GM trucks and V8 engines a lot. So it hurts a little when FORD comes up with a 3.5l and crunching numbers what makes my truck look ike a toy.

 

But at the end...will a 3.5l outlast a 5.3l? If yes, I bet that I can afford to change the engine on my truck twice before I could afford it on a 3.5l.

 

so long

j-ten-ner

 

Oh...sorry for my english...I'm still learning :rolleyes: .

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
