  3. SSS with TBSS 22?

    in General SS

    Posted

    I have the same setup on my truck but 1 question for you why did you roll the rear fender? I didnt and dont have any issues and also i didnt do a C notch and have no issues either

    Are you 3/4 dropped now? When you c notch it the axle will travel far enough into the fender that it was going to rub

  6. anybody see this yet

    you know what i completely agree with you 100%, imo i see people too often put huge converters and cams in heavy trucks, when they need to focus more on what moves these things, TQ not peak HP numbers.

    Just for discussions sake not to argue... Torque down low is needed and is great but i have watched shadowsnipers truck launch a few years ago, he had heads, HUGE cam, and intake combined with a HUGE convertor. That truck had balls and launched with authority, fastest N/a, stock Cubic Inch SSS on the site, at least he was. The truck obviously made more HP and TQ than stock but the point im making is that what you are changing is the TQ curve and where the power is made. With his cam the power was made in the High RPMs, and required the large 4k-ish rpm stall to get up into where the power was made. People just choose to stay N/a and if its not stroked than this is what you gotta do to start making big power out of our engines, the fact that they choose to do this too often is just there choice of how they wanted to try to go fast, not that its the best.

     

    Again, not arguing just stating it for discussion :thumbs:

     

     

     

  20. Bumpstops for 2/4 drop?

    I'm lowered 3/4 with 285/45/22's, I just recently installed my c notch i got from norcal after putting up with the rough bumps for 3 years, The notch makes all the difference in the world! i also rolled my fenders so that the tires can tuck! worth every penny to notch it IMO

    • I must say that this is :icon_bs:
    • "The Sierra Denali also packs big power under the hood. The standard engine is a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8. GMC says the engine's 23 miles per gallon highway is better than competitors' V8s or even the Ford F-150's EcoBoost V6."
    • Has ANY truck with the 5.3 ever gotten 23MPG?

    You do realize that the this is a different 5.3 than previous years right??? This has Variable Valve Timing and Direct injection, with the direct injection they can fine tune the engine to do some crazy things, which im sure is why the horsepower numbers are higher... actually during conditions where very little power is needed they can actually diesel the engine... So i guess we'll have to see if this fuel economy estimate will be correct
