Man, congrats! Very nice times! I would have been to the track long ago but with a 92mph cut off on mine it would just piss me off. I can only imagine she would do with a good launch and without hitting the limiter though. 3.73 2wd 6.2 DoubleCab.

 

You should do a tune on it, your truck would be a beast!

 

Did you by chance used to work at Thunder Racing?

In theory it should be pretty quick! Feels as good as my TBSS that went 13.sixties. Yes I did. Version one though. lol 2008 and prior. You Jason's buddy? I recall a friend of his having an M3 with that name.

Yep, figured that had to be you with the 3rd gen. avatar. Your car was always one of the cleanest 3rd gens around!

Thanks man! You have an LS swapped in that M3 yet? That was a sweet car too.

Improved to 13.7367 @ 97.57 mph. Speed is down because it hit 98 about 60' from the finish line and shut down. My 1/8 mile was 8.768 @ 79.41.

Yep, it was 48 degrees. DA was 185 ft. above sea level. Also ran 2 other 13.7's but the 13.73 was the best. One of my speeds was 98.12 mph because I was closer to the finish line when it topped out.

Nice! That's almost as quick as my TBSS with a tune and air intake. LOL Went 13.6's in it. I always felt like my truck was just as quick. The power under the curve of these engines is just amazing.

I was so close from going out to Mokan a couple weekends ago with my buddy. I have been out there a couple of times over the summer with my old 4th gen Taurus SHO, but I have not taken my new stock 15' CC Silverado 6.2 there yet. Looks like I found a truck racing buddy at Mokan! My truck cuts out at 99 mph as well..

 

Really impressed by the numbers you are getting - thats awseome.

I plan on going back in the Spring. Hope to see you there. Mine is an LTZ CC 4X4 Silver Ice Metallic with 6" steps and tanneau cover. I'll be looking for you.

Sounds good! You can see mine in my signature, obviously lol. Looking forward to run my truck!

 

Any plans for upgrades or tune in the meantime?

I'm retiring after the first of the year and my son is trying to talk me into putting twin turbos on it with my 401k retirement. He almost has me talked into it.

You should. If I wasn't 45k in the hole on a new truck and relying on the warranty for any issues in the next 5 years.. I would totally be saving for a turbo set-up. Not sure if I would do twin or a bigger single set-up. In the long run I want to have full exhaust, E85 conversion, boost and dyno tuned.

Armageddon is working on a tune for their twin turbo 6.2. The 5.3 went from 289 rwh to 515 rwh on 8 lbs of boost. Hopefully the 6.2 will be around 50 hp more. They give you everything you need except for the injectors they say you should use. And for a little extra money they have a 6 stage boost controller if you want more power.

      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.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
