Bsaseline Runs

[SRT10KLLR]

I went to the track this weekend to get some baseline times. The truck is completely stock down to the paper air filter. I was spinning really bad and would have to let off the gass then hit it again after it got traction.

I did three 1/8 mile runs at 10.4 and the last one at 10.3 with 2.6 60ft and a 2.5 60ft on the last run. I also hit the tow/haul button and manually shifted on the last run as per advice from fellow Chevy owners. It was my first time manually shifting so I shifted at 5400 not wanting to hit the rev limiter.

I will be getting some wheels/tires and suspenssion work done before the engine and turbo go in.

BTW, I have a 2003 RC Stepside Silverado 2wd.

I went a couple of weekends ago and ran a 16.2 1/4. I only got to run once due to the jr. dragsters taking up the lanes. Mine is stock except for a K&N 4.8L 2002 RC Sportside/stepside 2wd. I think it was a 2.5 60' but it wasn't hard to get traction.

Engine and turbo go on in a couple of weekends. I'd be interested in what you do and the times you get. I also want to mod the supension like you posted in another thread.

2.6 60ft., i guess you really didn't have traction. Thats about what i got last time without traction at all.

Ah I found the slip. It was a 2.47 60" and a 10.51 1/8 @ 67.89MPH. I figured not too bad for a truck I'd only driven for 60 miles or so.

My last slip reads as follows:

60 ft-------2.580
1/8-------10.369
1/8mph--77.780

Yes, I was spinning bad then letting off the gas then hitting it again after it got traction. I was running with Goodyear Wrangler 235-75-17 tires on cheapo stock wheels.

I'm swapping in my 5.7L with a Trick Performance front mount turbo. What is your new setup like?

[SRT10KLLR]

I am swapping in a forged 408 with a rear mount STS turbo kit w/upgraded turbo(GT76), BOV, i/c and meth.

That just amazes me that you guys saying your spinning badly with stock trucks and stock tires and all, when I can pull a 1.99 60' with 255x70x16 with all the mods on my truck. Just don't understand it ahaha

Does the track sux that bad or is it the drivers???

Probably both although there were a lot of people complaining about traction or lack thereof compared to other tracks. Also, the 235-75-17 Wrangler tires does not help either. The truck was shipped to me and I only has it for two days before I took it out so I am not used to it yet.
