Well, Bill and I met at the track and he ran his SS Silvy w/ Radix. This is not an excuse, but he literally has 500+ lbs of material in the back of his truck.
His best for the night was a 14.8 , I forget the mph.
I'm thinking with a better driver (this was his second time and he don't stall) and removing the material and toolbox, he'd run a very low 14. That truck is very strong but heavy.
Next week, I install the 3" pulley , going from a 3.25pulley, the boost gauge and pillar. After that, he wants tuning and is very interested in a cam swap. Is that awesome or what!! Then electric fans, t stat, and get this, he wanted a 3500 stall, but he tows a lot, so i recommend a 3K stall from yank.
This truck will be deep in the 13's before we know it.
BTW, are there any 12sec SS's out there? I told him we could get it in the 12's, and he said "that wouldn't hurt my feelings" hehehe , he's a pretty good guy too.

I ran a shitty 13.5 tonight, about .2 slower than last week. I got some vids I'll post.

My father in law also went out there and ran his '99 GMC ec. and his buddy met him out there with his '00 silver ec, both with 5.3. His buddy gives him hell every morning about how his '00 is faster. Well, tonight was enuff, lol. My father in law whooped him. A 16.1 to his 16.8. I know nothing to brag about but that is a big difference when comparing two identical trucks, actually the 99 is slower stock.

We put my father in laws stock tuning in and he ran a 16.9, hahah, just once though, he made me put it back in.

anyway, just thought i'd share, btw, everyone was running slow that night, i guess it was the humidity or something.

later,

That's a great time for that heavyweight got any :pics:

That thing is flying, gotta tell me how that pulley works, I want one :drool:

BTW What's the SS tranny? Is it a 4L80E or 4L65E?

farmtruc...Do you think upping the boost more on a 10:1 motor is going to be okay?

I'd just run more cam to get the extra power...I dunno if it could take 11-14psi w/ 10:1 comp. But I run 16.5 on the WRX... :devil:

Don't forget a set of Yella Terra 1.8:1 rockers will free up some power too.

The_Mexican.... I am pretty sure it has the 4L65E in it.

haha, i figured you would chime in and post your track fun, at least you whooped up on all those wanna be fast mustangs out there with all those racing stripes and shit, lol.

On the psi, Hit man, i'm not sure, but we're going to try and install it and see what happens, if it's too much boost, we'll put the stock one back on, I'll do a lot of monitoring to make sure it's ok. The 1/4" smaller pulley shouldn't up the boost that much, at least i hope,

do you know how much psi the radix is pushing for the SS's. I'll find out tonight, but i just wasn't positive.

A cam is in the works too, that will be sometime next month, at least by the end of the year.

The 03 SS has the 4L65E, but i just read in my chevy mag, that next year's will have the 4L85E tranny, that is badass. I guess that's one reason why it will have more power , and that they always up the power after the first year.

I think they run ~7psi...but could be more with the higher compression.

Are you serious about the 4L80E in the SS? That's one of GM's brightest ideas ever if they do that.

I'm reading the Super Chevy, Nov '03 edition, and it says this:

'04 SS
Hydra 4L85E, but
It could be a mistype because the Tech Specs say, 18x8.5 rims, they are 20's.

I'll go to Chevy's site and see what it says.

Sounds like a plan and just think Allen its not your money being spend to mod a truck whick is what you like to do. You do get to make the test runs? Find out what you want and good from there. Nice runs

I'll keep ya'll updated on the boost, i think it will be ok,
ya, we get to make a few test runs and buiding someone's truck that has money is nice, we do it right and not cheap , so that's really important to me.

see ya online,
