Who Uses Their DD 2 Go Fast?!

[graysilverado5.3]

I daily drove mine for a while a few years ago. Was a 402, t400, big shot. Then as the need to be faster and truck setting between builds it became a toy. Been a toy for a while now. Drive a nnbs daily now with basic bolt ons. Its fun to have a toy that's all hopped up but also nice to get in something an have no worries and warranty.

x2, I drove to work,college, back to work, etc...no problems what so ever, 11.8@114. Got my dd now that im having trouble with the turbo and motors, lol. Im happy I have my dd now since I don't have to be in a hurry to fix up the other truck. But once its up and running, it be splitting time dd'ing.

all nice rides fellas. keep it going!

Nice thread OP!

I will daily drive mine when I get it back, granted my commute is mostly local, but I will still drive it to all the races and across country on road trips.

Oh and its also about hour drive to the weekly truck meets and Mexico racing.

Forged 6.2, Turbo, Cam, Intake, Meth, Etc.

Mine's a dd/track truck. Lt's, ORY, FLT LVL2 trans, cam, 4.11's, tune, intake Hotchkis TVS 2/4 drop. I drive it 130 miles to the track, beat on it then drive it home. MPG's isn't quite there, but it's 10/10 for reliability. 13.6 @ 97 mph. Isn't extremely fast but it's fun.

I drive my truck occasionally. But with how far my commute is to and from work I dont DD it.

[bangbangskeetskeet]

I DD mine and have for a year now. 44 miles one way to work. Reliability is probably a 9/10 just because of stupid little thing like exhaust leaks and suc, but it starts up every time and doesn't give me issues. Mileage is about 15-16 and I've seen as high as 19. Mods are intake, LT's, ORY, 3" exhaust with a 14x4 round magnaflow(stupid loud), 219/230 .609/.604 117+2LSA cam, and a custom tune by that skinny white guy.

Hopefully I can get the exhaust leaks taken care of, get the suspension fixed, and get the tune dialed in perfect then take her to the track and see what it's got. Last time I was at the track it ran 15.6 three times and 15.5 twice. That was stock with a flowmaster and 180k on the clock. Need to get it down and run once it gets a little cooler around here. Hopefully I'll be in the 13.5-13.8 area in this big fat ECSB.

Hope to be doing the DD thing before too long, again. The old 93 with the 408 was a DD. The 92 with the LS1 was a DD. Did anyone say something about dogging the piss out of their's 90% of the time?

[jansen]

Yes that was me and 100 percent is a lil more accurate ha ha

I used to daily drive mine, it was all I had. I could still daily drive it now, but I choose not to. Reliability is a 10 no doubt. I could the keys to my grandma and tell her to drive to california and pick up a car trailer with a race car on the way back and never worry about it. Ice cold a/c, bad ass stereo system, all the good stuff a rcsb can have. I went as fast as 11.50s while my truck was a daily, towed race car's to tracks all over the state and got 20mpg while driving it during the week. Nothing happened to the truck I just decided I wanted something quiet and that got a little better fuel mileage to drive during the week. Now, I've kinda fallin in love with my truck all over again lol By the time the weekend rolls around, I'm ready to jump in it, take it to the car wash and then go cruise around with my ol lady lookin for races.

As said, I could daily drive mine still but after building a motor and a badass tranny and all the other good stuff it takes to make a 4500# truck fast, I have to take a step back and realize that I have a crap load of money in this thing and I want to enjoy it for a long time. Miles create wear, wear creates problems, problems = $$$
