Watching you two line up would be a lot more entertaining than the two of us, lmao. Our runs were about the same every time. I'd get the jump, then about a second later, I would start hearing the whine, then another second later he would shoot past me. My guess is if he would have just aired down his tires, he would have had a 12.7-12.8, because he was pulling the the 13.0-13.1 with like a 2.4 60ft. Thanks. I was happy considering. I'm guessing if I would have just prepared to race (had 1/4 tank of gas instead of between 3/4 and full, taken the tonneau off and taken the tools and crap out of the bed), I could have had a 14.7x. If I can shave a couple seconds off that, it should make things interesting.

Looks good. Welcome ti the site!

Thanks man!

We definitely had a great time. Here was a quick pic before heading out at the end of the day.

I may be weird, but I'd rather have 550hp and run 10's than 1100hp and run the same. I was at the track one time, and there was a guy with a Supra that was bragging about his 900hp dyno. He was so proud of it, he carried it around in the car. I thought "900hp, that thing must be quick as hell..." Then he ran low 12's all afternoon. It definitely had power, but it wasn't being utilized correctly at all. I know that one gets to be a slippery slope though, because the question was about engine parts exclusively and power is only one component in good, consistent track times. I guess, my answer would be all of the above, lol. I want what is going to give me the best MIX of power across the board. If you're only looking for low end torque, you miss out on the big end.... Just want high end, your torque is going to suffer. I went the route of over doing the top end on my last setup in my trans am, and it sucked unless I was at the track. Won't be making that mistake again. I definitely want what will give me the best power across the board. If that's done right, the 0-60, 1/4 mile and dyno will likely reflect. Sorry, that was the most generic BS answer ever.

Yeah, any time we get to go out it's a good time. My 05 was definitely a quicker truck, but I had played with the tune a little and it didn't have the heavy frickin' tonneau out back. I'd say if I did nothing other than get a good tune on this one and catch another day with really good air (Track elevation is 1100 and DA was only 750ft.), It would be right in the same ballpark though. I'm elbow deep in the middle of a turbo build for the Trans Am at the moment, but as soon as I get that out of the way, I'll start thinking about cutting a second or two off on the truck. I'd like to at least be able to at least give his Lightning a good run, but that's going to take some work. He left his street tires on with regular air pressure and was running 13 flat all day.

I get one every once in a while from my Granatelli MAF. Seems like it's more apt to do it when it's cooler out. I've flirted with the idea of switching back out to a stock one and selling the Granatelli, but just never seem to get around to it.

I'll pm some this afternoon when I get back to the house.

Nothing earth shattering, but not bad for a near stock brick with 3/4 tank of gas and stuff in the bed, lol. I rode up to Pittsburgh Raceway Park to a track rental yesterday with my buddy, who was running his Lightning. I didn't have any intentions on running myself, but that never ends up working out when I go to these things. The guy that rode with me must have caught a glimpse of my sad face watching in the pits, and said if I wanted to race, he'd cover the entry. Can't pass that up, so I hot-lapped the rest of the afternoon (ended up with 20 passes). I managed to pull off a 14.93 at 90.85mph. I'd never run this truck before, but my old SSS was running 14.6x - 14.7, and I knew this one is a tad slower... so I was right where I guessed it would be when I said I'd be happy with a 14.99 or better. The only mods are a CAI, a Granatelli MAF and a catback. The only other thing that was really in the same class was a 2011 Ram with an intake and exhaust and I got him by about 3/10. I won a few others and lost quite a few. I lined up with an Alpha built GTR and don't think I've ever been walked away from so hard, lmao. Nobody in our group broke anything, we both got the numbers we were looking to get, and between the two of us, we got about 40 passes in, so I consider it a pretty good day.

The most recent sale price I can find on one is from 5/2014 and he got $75 back then. Is that fair? For Reference: http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/gm-parts-classifieds-23/2005-silverado-ss-exhaust-tip-computer-528979/

Welcome back Larry.

Frickin Hate Thieves. Sorry to hear about the loss. Hope you find something soon.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site. Truck looks good!

Welcome to the site.

Congrats man. As little as I post, it'll take me 20 years to get there.

it must be an 8x8 since he put 4x4 twice!

Dan the Fireman. Congrats on the big news.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome to the site!

I have one as well. It was cleaned up, but needs some polishing. Let me know if you're still looking for one. Thanks.

Not a bad deal at all. I just paid $600 for the part, paint and install for just the passenger door moulding.... It's crazy how much a piece of plastic costs for these things.

Just noticed where Jacob made a purchase through my referral system on AMSOIL. Thanks a lot for Thinking of me. I appreciate it!
