Just wanted to know what y'all are running in the 1/8th or 1/4 along with 0-60 times. I feel like my truck is running a bit slow for what I've put into it. Here's what I got:

 

2002 Silverado 5.3L 4x4 with:

 

Bully dog tune

Magna flow high flow cats

Flow master cat back 40 series

K&N intake 57 series

Level kit

33" all terrains

M/T classic II's

Toolbox full of crap

Subs under rear seat

 

Anyways, here are my times:

 

0-60: 7.8

1/8: 10.3

1/8 speed: 70

1/4: 15.8

1/4 speed: 87

 

For what I've done to it, I'm not seeing anything much improved. Maybe it's the extra weight. Anyways, I wanna see what yall got!!!

I ran my 2003 reg cab stepside (4.8, auto, 4x4) years ago and my best was like 16.8@86 I think. No real experience so I'm sure those could be better. I didn't save the slips but when I showed them to a guy who had given me some tips (he had the first tuned diesel I'd seen) he said there was no way someone on the strip for the first time could have the reaction times I did so I guess those were good cause he insisted I was lying. :lol:

I ran again today with the truck a little cooler and these were my results:

 

0-60: 7.4

1/8: 10.1 @ 72

1/4: 15.4 @ 89

 

A bit improved, but Im still a little disappointed with how its running, maybe I need to run it right after I start it? :D

Well, If your seriously looking to decrease the time then increase the mods, the simple stuff and addition of bigger tires are not much more help, i.e. the bigger tires are not increasing performance. Get some LT headers, hell you could lose the cats if your county allows. Then get a professional tune like BlackBear Performance, all of us including myself love how the truck is after it and it's definately noticeable. Those few additions alone should pull some tenths of a second off. If still bitter on how it runs the go all out, camm, supercharger, Twin Turbo's lol, bigger gear's etc. Those are the only other ways to get a big ol' truck rollin in the fast lane!!!

I was thinking about doing a LQ9 with heads, cam, and a supercharger. I want to keep the tires and level kit because I like to go play once in a while :D

my 2001 silverado bone stock except for a superchips tune and a shitty flowmaster muffler and new keys ran 15.8 too and my tool box was empty and my tailgate was off.

Funny how the first eighth mile you can hit 72mph, but the next eighth mile you only gain 17mph. You are running tires that are 2 inches taller than stock, that will work against you simply from the gearing point of view, and even more from the increased unsprung weight. Take your truck to the scales and weigh it the way you run it.

I have never owned a 4x4, but, what is max speed you can reach when the transfer case is in low-lock? If it is around your eighth mile speed, try running the eighth in low-lock. If you have locking hubs, you run it with the hubs unlocked to get the low range without the 4wd.

You have to shift to neutral for 4LO so that wouldn't be the best idea. I tryed 4HI and didn't make a difference from 2HI

That would be a beast of a truck then!

I want to build the LQ9 so I can run a slightly higher boost and so, hopefully, the engine won't go so soon. I just don't know what I need to make a built LQ9 so I'm going to be creating a help forum on here when I get around to doing it because I know y'all know a lot more than me

What I meant was running the entire eighth mile in low-lock. I don't know what the max speed is when in low-lock, if it is a bit more than your current trap time for the eighth you could run the entire eighth in low-lock. I think the confusion is because I am talking about only running the eighth, not a quarter.

Not sure if I would trust it going over 40 in low lock, good thinking though, it puts out quite a bit of torque in low lock.

 

How did we go from times to talking about motors, superchargers, and 4 wheel drive? haha

I had an 08 GMT900 ECSB 5.3 with 3.73:1. It was a lease so I didn't care what I did to it. in 4low it would do about 82-83 MPH before the rev limiter kicked in. BTW I hope none of you ended up with that truck, she got driven like the neihborhood tramp and always got put away wet

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
