MSD wires
hypertech programer
caltrac design traction bars
this is in my truck and my best pass...consistantly is
Reaction: .087
60ft: 2.399
1/8th: 10.060
1/8th mph: 71.887
1/4 et: 15.3
1/4 mph 93.307
for some reason i think it should do better??
U need a Nelson Tune brother....itll be night and day from that Hypertech
i run about the same with almost mirror mods, hypertech adds a good boost, but a custom tune would be better
hmm...maybe its time for a tune!! for the price of a nelson tune i can get a live tune through one of the guys out here! hmm...i miss having a car haha
i agree a tune will help a lot
im running
2.1 60 ft
9.41 1/8
14.98 1/4
Not all tunes are created equal. Nelsons mail order tunes are spot on too.Quote:

yeah...the guys who do live tunes out here definatly do not LANGUAGE!!!! around when it comes to tuning.
well then live tune it is
get that 60' down i do better with a 4.3 and 3.23's. A tenth off your 60' is .15 at the traps
a stall will help ur 60 time
bone stock with a cai, i ran a 15.4, ordered a nelson same mods ran a 14.8, so a tune should help alot bud.
how about u give up and PM me a price on the truck
yeah...im an extreme kinda guy..anyone think a 4000 stall is to much for a 4.8? i dont care about drivablity..i have friends with big stalls and drive all the time..im just worried about it being to much for a little 4.8 yah know!!
casey....pm sent bud! :)
Quick always says 4.8s need a 4k stall and 4.56 gears
a live tune, an a stall will do wonders imo
i say get away from the hypertech tune and also try and get you some sticky tires....
it doesnt spin! lol..whats the point in sticky tires if theres no need! just saying.Quote:

yep think of this motor as nothing more then the DZ302 of the 60s. Stall that LANGUAGE!!!! and toss gear at it. Put good exhaust and a mans cam in there an youll have a screaming truck. the pitch from this motor is unlike any other LS motor when you wind that bitch. The less rotating mass is easier to snap up in the rpms. however you cant skimp on the cam or flow part of this motor. You do the rest and youll be right there if not faster then some of your buddies.Quote:

The hard part is getting it in its power band and staying there. A 4.8 stock is a slouch its a worthless motor that should only come in 1/4 ton trucks like s10s and their sisters the colorado. Its to small of a motor for a fullsize. Now in a performance application it can be made to work.
Ppl need to think outside the box and go old school and their see alot of the tricks are plain as day. Toss say a 23x/23x 60x/60x 112-114 cam in it, 1 3/4 headers, good exhaust, 90mm intake like the 07+, 4-4400 stall, 456-26" tire and get a aggressive tune and hold on
