This sorry piece of s**t digital camera couldn't focus on a time slip if it wanted to, so I'll try to get pics later. I drove an hour straight there and was racing within 2 minutes of getting there, but I'll type the slips. I need a tune. I was at full weight minus spare tire. 55* 50% humidity.

 

Best run

 

R/T .065 <----WOOT.

60' 2.221

330 6.259

1/8 9.526

MPH 76.02

1000 12.306

1/4 14.71

MPH 92.92

 

The others were 14.76 @ 92.94 & 14.73 @ 92.95. I think with a decent cool down, no tailgate, bed liner, sub/box/amp, or tow hitch with 0 humidity I could see a low low 14.6's @ 93 mph. I really should have taken that stuff out yesterday but the weather seemed iffy. Traction seems pretty good, track prep was a joke until the big dogs showed up. My G/F got 2 videos, but she doesn't seem to know how to zoom. I'll upload them later, right now I'm fighting this camera for the time slips. Overall I'm kinda happy, I went from 14.9's and 15.0's to low 14.7's, with a tune I think I should see 14.4's. I should have been running 14.7's with a tune only :lol::lol:

Me too, some guys on PT.net do/did, in EC trucks!!! I'm deciding on either doing a dyno tune, or having Zippy program my factory PCM which is collecting dust and tossing in a 3000 verter. He's a killer at tuning with the same price as Wait4me. I mean we have the same set ups (RCSB 5.3 2wd 3.73) and he's running 14.2's with nothing but a trailblazer converter, I/E, and programing...on 20" wheels.

 

I really should have prepped for going today tho, I didn't even check the tire pressure or anything. I was in a rush to get there (weather). This spring will have much better results.

Oh yeah, stalls are excellent bang for the buck, Yank Truck Thrust 3000 stalls are only $525, good for .4. Get a bigger tranny cooler from ricer zone or advance auto to replace the factory one I have and it should be a safe set up.

 

:lol: I think the TBSS needs a 3000 stall. That with AWD would straight up fly. You will never be traction impaired...unless your in the 10's :lol:

 

Mike I will be happy when your TBSS does this!!!

Yeah, but I don't trust higher stalls on the highway. They just seem like they'd build too much heat. And I use the SS for a lot of road trips.

 

I'd LOVE to have a Maggie and 3200 stall.

I'm dropping that yank tt 3000 in mine when I get a tranny rebuild for sure. Supposedly you can tow and haul just fine with that model converter.

I've heard that as well. I hear the Yank TT 2600 is great for towing, but seems like a stock TC. I'm deffinately shooting for the TT3000, on a mild naturally aspirated motor it should flash around 2600~ with the throttle mashed. First I need to get the shifts dialed in when I get tuned, I'll bet this thing will pull up to 6300, when it shifted @ 5900/6000 at the track it had more left.

You need a converter. EXPECT at least .3 improvement with that alone. I suggest a 3000 stall.

 

I know someone who is selling a BRAND NEW 3000 stall TCS converter. I think he wanted $300 shipped. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

:D Krambo I would but I had to take 2 weeks off work right after I bought all the cam stuff, but I'm deffinately shooting for one later this year or early next year, along with a tune, probably dyno or Zippy. I want to go zippy for price and simplicity, (and he's awesome at tuning) but I want to go dyno for awesome tuning and to know what numbers I lay down. Either way I'll get the times I should be getting :P

      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.
