thanks everyone.
here is a few more pics of my truck down at the beach a month after i bought it.

thats about a low 15 in the 1/4mile give or a take alittle!!
in cooler better weather this winter your times will be much better.
yea thats what i figured. i found a 1/4 conversion calculator online and it said my time came out to about 15.3 in the 1/4 mile. i know they arent completely accurate but at least its a ballpark figure.
with my mods, cooler weather, is it possible to hit 9.5's in the 1/8 mile?

Stock vs. stock, SSS and V-Max's will pull on Hemi's right from a dig.
Thats what i figured. a hemi durango ran against me that night. but im sure it was all stock. i believe it ran a 10.4

That isn't bad at all for this time of year and for the mods you have.
For comparison, my SSS runs the 1/8th in 8.7 @ 79 and is modified alot heavier then your truck....
yea it finally got to about 78deg (according to my mirror so who knows what it really was) but it was pretty humid.
ive been looking around junk yards for a set of spare alloy or steel factory wheels so i could put some cheap 265's back on it for the track. the 295's have got to be slowing it down a little.
anyone know how the SSS and vortec max's are doing against the Hemi's? i know they are around the same power output.

here are a few pictures of the truck. i havent had a chance to get better ones yet.

thanks everyone.
i thought i was happy with my previous 06 but it was nothing compared to my Vortec Max.
Where in VA you located man? Sounds like a nice truckI'm in lynchburg, about 45mins from Roanoke.

Hey guys, with a tempature of 78degs my 2006 ran a 9.83 @ 73.5 mph.
all ive got is a K&N intake, replacement flowmaster, and a blackbear tune.
im running 295/70/17's on stock alloy wheels.
i was just wondering how this compares to other sss or vortec max's?
thanks guys

hello to all.
ive been lurking around the site for awhile and decided to finally join.
Im from Virginia and ive got a 2006 Chevrolet Vortec Max. it is a fully loaded LT3 ext cab 4x4. black with dark charcoal interior.
i bought this truck used in aug of 08 after traded in the same truck but and LT1, 5.3 and wimpy 3.42 gears.
the vortec max is so much more amazing and fun to drive.
hope to learn alot from fellow LQ9 owners
thanks

well this past friday, i did a little better: 9.72 @74.46mph. it was still high 70's and alot of humidity at the track so the conditions were the same as my previous 9.83 @ 73.49mph.
only difference was Justin added a little more fuel to the tune due to it being a little lean and i added a soft top bed cover. so its slowly getting there.
got my LPP headers in, just need to get around to installing them.
