6.2L power!

[Sooperdave]

I fall in love with my truck everytime I mash the go pedal! So yesterday I got a lil anxious.. Hit the TC off button.. Coast was clear so I proceeded to do a U-turn. Almost full turn through I mashed the pedal, it ripped the tires loose, slid the rear out a little so I let off the steering wheel to allow it to straighten up, hit second and kept on burning almost all the way through!! Are you kidding me!! I love a vehicle with some nuts!

 

On the technical note.. I would have thought the torque management would have kicked in and killed 2nd gear but it hit and kept on.. It's got to be wild with a tune!! Also I haven't tried it yet but is there a throttle stop kill on these if one was to power brake a burnout?? I thought I recall GM using this in their programming.

Even the 5.3 on E85 doesn't need any brake torque to turn them loose. What is really nice is you can get on it even with the TC on it will still supply power without a total shut down like in the past. My old trail blazer ss would just stop in the middle of the road if you forgot to turn off the TC. If it wasn't raining that was the first button I hit on start up.

Couldn't agree more! The icing on the cake to all that is the sweet....sweet sound of the motor up front. Man it sounds good rippin past 5K RPM. I haven't had a truck require so much self control since my tuned DMax It's killing me not to throw an exhaust on this thing and hit up BlackBear for a tune. I really should have someone block the Engine/Drivetrain section on this board. Every time I come in here I start thinking goofy. Haha

Haha, Nice! Yeah my Old SS was a dud before tuning but even with a tune it still didn't burn them down like this. Lol

Yep, exhaust will come soon, possibly an air intake and tune later. I'm itchin for sure!

Got my Airaid intake today... waiting on my catch can and will install. Black Bear tuner sitting in the back seat... after intake is on I will start logging and expect to be amazed right after the fourth! I had the 6.2L in my G8 but it feels so much more powerful on this truck!

Damn another G8, TB SS, 2014 truck owner.. I've seen several on here. Seems like a pretty common theme of GM owners here! I'm one as well! LOL

LOL! I was thinking the same thing when I joined up... a lot of these names are familar! I was talking with GTPprix about that in messenger just the other day. Seems like those of us that have owned several GM performance vehicles think alike! Still have my TBSS, and it still turns heads! I traded my G8 GXP with 8000 miles for this truck. I hated to part with it, a rare car that was a blast to drive, but I needed something more "practical" (practical = new toy).

Same here.. My SS was towards the G8, then G8 toward my truck. Hated to get rid of the G8 as I absolutely loved that car. I had mine up to GXP spec with swaybars, the CTSV brembo's, a few hp goodies to get power around the 415.. just broke the 40K mile mark but she was garaged and kept in mint condition. A friend of mine was begging to buy it. It was time for me to get a truck and this was the closest thing I could get to satisfy my power needs coming from that car! I was sooo close to buying an Ecoboost F150 til I drove it though! I'm so glad I stayed in the GM family just for reasons above!

I went wayyy off the beaten path...

 

I went from heavily modded sSS to a F150 Tuned Ecoboost and mildly modded, to the 2014 5.3L Silverado with very minor tweaks, lol.

 

---I'm surprised by the 5.3L.....but man I envy you guys and the 6.2L
