  1. sooo hows everyone watchin it ?? anyone watchin it online for free?...i found a place last fight... ATDHE.Net worked great..hopefully this time too be nice to save the 44 bucks..lol the only downside is its online so i cant watch it on my beg flatscreen.. sooo i got the idea to watch it threw my ps3 from the same site..buttt it doesnt seem to be workin..anyone have any ideas on how to watch it on a ps3? and for the big fight..i hope silva gets WRECKED!...i didnt like him when to start..then he got to be the champ..and i gain respect and liked watchin him...after his last fight and being a cocky *&$^ !!!! and gassin himself out from tryin to show off..ive lost all respect and hope he gets knocked the (*$& out!!!..lol hopefully sonnen is the man to do it..
  2. not sure on the stock 20s...ive got 22s on my truck..and i put some 16s with some tiny 225..55 or something like that..bs tire.. and went from a 12.7 at 104 to a 12.3 at 111 ...soo it can make a huge differance.. ya i love goin to the track.. being in lansing i right between goin go milan or stanton..never run at lapeer or ugly..there open up the old onodaga dragway..which is like 10mins from my house...so ive got it made!!haha
  3. any pics of your truck? il have to start keepin an eye out for it
  4. I'd say 12.50-12.80. Will find out later this year. When I got the truck it had the stock pulley and this 2.7 pulley. I'm game to change it if need be. Your 12.30 says need be ;-) No shit, it seemed like the 2.8 was ideal, but maybe not.... lol granted the 12.3 was with smaller lighter wheel tire combo...ive gone round and round about which pulley is best for these trucks...i think the 2.7 is to much pulley with out question...it just gets to hot to fast....the 2.8 and 2.9 is a close... some say the 2.8 still overheats the blower by the end of a 1/4mile run....i know my temps get pretty high with a 2.9 even...if u could keep it cool some how with meth or sprayin nitrous i think the 2.8 might be worth it for sure... i have another 2.9 pulley if u wanna try it and see if u like it..be happy to sell it too ..looks like were both in michigan wouldnt be a big deal to get it over to ya
  5. well heres my question...whats the truck run now... and what are u lookin to run..that might be the best question.....i think u have to small of a pulley on the blower now..and its probly runnin really hot and slowin u down i have a similer setup with a 2.9 pulley with out headers and have gone 12.300 at 111mph..with 1.67 60ft.. and i think theres some left in her
  6. hey you know me..im all for a mich meet!!....i say we do a...hmmm..an "AINT ZIPPY" event...he left and now michigan is on fire..haha ( totaly jokin zippy) id diffently like to do a track event..altho i know some guys arnt to big on it being all stock
  7. wow.. dont know how i miss all this... 9 pages and everything.... welcome!!! alil late but better then never ....so you sold the vert..and bought a notch??... must be your ready to go alil faster..notchs are light!! and fast over that heavy vert....sooo where the pics of the new ride feel free to throw a few of you in with them...haha if your ever in michigan..il take ya for a ride in my truck..or 69 camaro..that will show u the lite of chevy power ...but alteast your not driving some riced out honda..so your good in my book
  8. welcome!...you bought a great truck!!..glad to see the truck stay in michigan..!! man o man michigan is on fire with ss trucks..im lovin it!
  9. that..is the bigggg question ...i have NOOO idea what im gonna do..i need to find someone thats good with photoshop or something to get some ideas....my problem..my taste is veryy simple ..clean and classy.. at first i was just going to powerder coat everyything black..from the frame, body, wheels and even the coils springs every lil detail...but all my friends are tryin to get me to do something wild and extream...because this is the one thing you can go nuts on..and it will actully look good..lol.....butttt i dont know im tryin to think of a happy medium...like maybe a theme..like say the MONSTER ENERGY thing were its mostly one color but the bright claw marks...or something like that..still tryin to figure it out. nope its not a squirt...its a local builder...its a whitehills frame..( he used to build the XTC)..he lives right buy silverlake ..are dunes..and has been building cars forever!!!..finaly desided to go back out on his own..and build his own shop..being im a small business owner..i like workin with others...so it was kinda neat to know that i paid for the floors in his new shop ...and i feel like i get more bang for my buck and i can call the guy anytime even at home if i have a question or problem..
  10. thanks chase..that makes me feel alot better...to behonest..i havent drove a long travel car ..ive only rode in one..and that was after i was halfway threw building this car..and that was a 763hp TT lsx ..extream car..that car blew my mind..lol ...being are dunes are so much smaller..theres only a hand full of them around. and the big cars are just a waste u cant use them over here..so thats why i was tryin to find something inbetween...im just hopin il be able to keep up with the bigger cars..hopefully the power to weight will pay off..some of them are 3,000lbs il still never understand how it really cost 20+k for a mendeola..or any other trans...just silly... i mean what i paid was bad anuf..but stiillll!!
  11. who was that?? i dont remeber hearin about anyone in a long travel getting hurt or killed for along time??
  12. ive got a couple.. i need to take some more...fyi it is a 4 seater..i just dont have the others in cowl hood mocked up with the old trans
  13. well a few reasons...the 2d is rated at 375hp roughly...but thats really v8 power and torque..no being a turbo motor 4 banger..even tho its makin 400hp.its going to make alot less.and softer torq then a v8..and also being my car is so light its not going to be hard on the trans as the big heavy cars..after talkin with alot of builders...mendeola, dons bus box, wright gear box, transaxle engineering... they all said that the 2d or the new weddle hv1 would be a perfect combo.. and of course the big reason..$$$$..im like 4 times over budget..i was just going to run a 6rib..with a vw motor..so stepin up to a brand new ecotec turbo motor and then a mendeola on top of that was not in the budget..but i made it work didnt really see any reason to go with any other trans other then the hv1..but dont really like it
  14. what do u wanna know...? i building a long travel sand rail..18in of susp travel all the way around..the motor is an 09 turbo ecotec and makes 400hp and the rail should weight about 1400lbs..pretty good power to weight ratio i think the trans is a custom build and custom geared for my setup ..mendeola md4s2d..should be fun we just finish my cuz rail..his it has a n/a 2.4 eco..makes 210hp..( half of mine) and weights 1350lbs..and its a rocket..we lined up against my truck...and i couldnt beat it..being my truck ran a best of 12.3...hes rail is deep in the 12s for sure... givin mine will have 2x the hp...and geared correct..i have noooo idea how fast..but its gonna move out well
  15. ok its not for the SS..but its still gonna be behind a bowtie kinda..lol its goin in my sand rail... cant belive i had to spend 7g on a damn trans..but hey atleast its here..one step closer to gettin this long travel sand rail runnin.. anyways though u guys might get a kick out of it
  16. yaa diffently call ..or go up there and bitch..!! ( PROBLY WOULDNT TELL THEM U WERE AT THE STRIP..LOL)...dont worry about the times...last summer when i went up to 131..i was almost a full second slower because it was soooo hot and humid..and today was one of those nasty days too!!! fyi.. next time u wanna go to the track..come up to onondaga..its open weds, fri, sat..from 9am to 9pm.. tryin to raise money to improve the track..but still only $15 to race..and $5 to watch....altho its only 1/8 mile right now..but will be 1/4 as soon as they get $$ around....but its probly closer then milan isnt it?...only like 10mins for me..lucky me..haha
  17. the dunes are veryyy addictive..!!! ive been building a long travel sand rail for about a year now..i cant wait to get it done!!
  18. to answer your question about if u can make it around....YES with out a dought....air down your tires to like 10psi in the front and 8psi in the rear..and u will pretty much be able to go anywhere you want on the dunes... i dont see any reason u cant make it up test hill even.. manual down shift in to first right as u get to the start of the hill... and pinn it..and u should make it up no problem...i take my work truck up there alot...its a ford..im sad to say..but i can get around most anywhere in 2wd with just the help of some 31in mtz tires
  19. my 22s rub on the inner fenderwells..no biggy..im droped also..
  20. where at in michigan by the way? also..are u on silverlakeforum.com ?
  21. welcome!!...us michigan guys are takin over the site!! haha nice truck..u will love it!! see u at the dunes!
  22. it kills me to say it...BUT the SSs seem to do good out on the dunes at silverlake.. theres a guy runnin around with a red SS with the same supercharger setup i have..and ive seen it and talked to him a few times up at the dunes and localy..he said it goes anywhere..and i watched it on the dragstrip and it did suprizing good..and even climbed good..kinda made me sick to see it..but id lie if i didnt wanna take my SS out there..but being lowered and supercharged..il never do it..
  23. well... i dont see any other trucks that are faster then mine with LESS mods..sooo somethin must be workin alright?..i dont really consider it rice..if its something no one will ever see...hell of alot better then takin a headlight out..lmao.. cheeseburger..thats got me crackin up.. i cant lie
  24. lovin all this new SS blood in michigan.. i dont feel so aloneeee anymore..haha!! i smell a BBQ or something comin in the future.....fyi the old ononadaga drag way..just south of lansing..finalyy just got the permit to repo..its like 10miles from my house sooo maybe have get everyone to to come out and play..not alot of people know about it yet soo probly make as many passes or just have a SSS day
  25. ok..sooo im think im gonna go ahead and order some lights...any votes on which ones... ive got it narrowed down to the ..red clear...red smoked..( only difference between the 2 are the backuplights.....or the smoked..normaly i like the darker the better...but being on a red truck im wondering if the red might look better...or to much red http://www.xtralights.com/silverado.aspx
