Hey farm truck, I ran in to you out at the drags last week. So I'm checking out the site. I LIKE. The new 2003 black shorty I've got only ran a 15.90@89mph.
I think the 5 speed manual with 4.06 first gear is hurting me. About 15 feet with tire spin at 1500rpm.
2003 chevy 1500
short wheel base
black on black
4.8L with 5 speed manual (Sp. ordered)
3.42 gears
no screen in maf (free)
air-raid intake
custom exhuast bullet muffler
Welcome to the dark side :laugh:
Cool 5speed...those are rare.
Hey, nice to see you made it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.Quote:

You gotta nice truck there, just a few more mods and you'll be low 15's. I know it's in there.
I noticed your mods. Are you experiencing any detonation/pinging after you took the screen out. If not, good thing, you're a lucky one, lol.
What other plans do you have for the truck, that thing would be badass with an LS1 in there :devil:
Shoot me an IM or something and give me your number and I'll call you when I'm heading out to the track again. or I'll just email you.
see ya at the track,
allen
welcome to the site.. :thumb:
:wave: Welcome here! Your 15.90 is still faster than my box on wheels...that 1st gear is mad low!
Get some headers next then a tune...prolly close to 1 sec faster then
Welcome :wave: Thats not a bad time for what you have.
Thanks for the welcome guys. My truck is a daily driver, and I drive to Austin 3 times a week. I'd like to do mods for a better E.T. But I got to drive this thing everyday.
Anyone have ideas for Cheap$$$$ mods. Best bang for the buck?
TBI spacer
Jet or Granatelli maf---is one better than the other
underdrive pulleys
headers
computer tunning (Allen)
Bosch 4 plugs
N.O.S.
I can't afford a supercharger right now, maybe after Chistmas.
I'd say the pulleys and nos would really drop your et's if that's what your looking for.
nos is usually the best bang for the buck.
depending on how much your run, you may need some tuning before you spray.
keep us updated,
allen
Allen, if I do the computer tunning, am I going to have to 93 gas all the time.
I think you can get a tune for 87 but the price diff filling up is ~$2-3 per fillup...not much at all. Just skip Burger King ot Taco Bueno once a week to save that $3. :smile:Quote:

Hey, go on a diet and haulass at the same time. I like the way you think.
Skip one coke (soda,pop) a day.
