congratulations sir!

no way bro keep the turbs so you can spool around on the weekends. you just need to lengthen the injector pulse another millisecond, tune the nos timing and you'll run nines

IF you are talking to me, I would agree that you are faster than me, for now... Like I said prior, I don't get paid enough to buy every part I want every time I get a wild idea. As glorious being a defender of this wonderful country is, the pay isn't quite on par with the glamour, although I do have some BIG plans for after my next trip to the sandbox. Additionally, I never asked for your help or advice, but that you anyways. I am completely serious and sincere in most of my posts. Sure sometimes I post things with sarcasm but I am really not a true by nature. Sometimes I see an opportunity that is just too good to pass up, but who hasn't?? Just like everyone else on this site, I really wish the best of luck to you and your endeavors however misguided or unrealistic they are. As far as you later on including the additional mods required to reach the times you initially claimed, that's called backpedaling and it's really doesn't build credibility for anyone. A lot of guys (myself included) know it's a lot more complex than you made it sound but there are probably an equal amount that don't who also don't read every post in their entirety. I like the think the senior members think out their informative posts to help guide the less knowledgeable enthusiasts, not set them up for failure.

Where?!

I'm sure it is a great cam. There are a lot of off the shelf as well custom grind cams that show leaps and bounds of improvements over the stock setup, especially when paired with the right parts to compliment it. I think what rubs me the wrong way and maybe some other fellas on here too is that you make it out to be an end all be all cam that with a high stall and TBSS intake manifold would put our 6,000 lb pigs into the 11's EASILY. Now I for one am smart enough to know that that simply isn't true and I know there are a lot of even more experienced vets on here that agree. Now normally when I see bad intel with good intentions I bite my tongue and smile... But some day, some more gullable soul is going to stumble across your infinite wisdom and initially rip around town with LT headers, a big cam and TBSS intake manifold with over maxed out stock injectors. If his motor survives the constant puddling of fuel on top of the valves everytime he mashes the skinny pedal, he will later go out and re-gear his truck, throw in the legendary (dare I say) Torque V2 cam, some TFS heads and a 9000 RPM stall and be disappointed when he isn't making single digit passes. I know if I was that young buck trying to learn how to make my truck fast, I would want solid, proven intel so I don't waste thousands of my hard earned dollars only to be disappointed with the outcome. Maybe everyone else is rich and doesn't think twice about what parts they have to buy but Uncle Sam doesn't pay this US Sailor enough for me to be careless. Besides, I'm sure if that was the perfect, super fast, killer combo, it would have been discovered much sooner than Jun 2014 and everyone of us would have already done it. AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDD. end rant

I know its not a SSS, but which cam will help me off the line like this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdzRiqDPdyA dat launch doe

Well rats looks like it's back to the drawing board. I was thiiiiiisssssss close to ordering that cam and a 5k stall this morning too so I could be in the fast club... Hey where the Heck are my smiley face buttons?!?! Stupid phone

you're right, I misread your other post. But regardless, if you already have a killer intake, 243 heads and a big stall on the way, why not take your heads to the to the next level, swap cams, throw on some lighter wheels with good DRs and run 11's NA all the time and not even need the bottle?

just curious, if it's just that easy to get into 11's... why are you only setting your goal to run mid 12's WITH the help of the bottle? I must be missing something here... Isn't everyones goal to be as fast as possible?

Wait wait wait. So all l need is some good heads, diff gears, a huge stall and the torquer and I can run 11s?? Watch out torreto I found the secret and now it's on!!

Ha that would make sense why my aero upper fits so well on my palmetto lower like they were made for each other! In fact if you need a stripped upper lmk because 458 brass doesn't fit through a standard ejection port and my hands are not quite steady enough that I feel comfortable grinding away on it.

Another good choich which IMO is a better lower is PSA. They ALWAYS have 'blemished' lowers on sale and on the weekends they have pretty good package deals. Luckily for me they are only an hour away. I have bought six lowers from them over the past year or so and never could find the blemish on any of them. Either way glad you picked up some new projects

I wish someone paid me a dollar every time August mentions the torquer lol

just a heads up that might save you some time- be wary of 'TBSS' injectors that people often include with their TBSS/NNBS intakes when selling. A lot of people unknowingly claim them as 34 lb. injectors (which for something like TBSS intake/TB, LTs, Tune is fine) but they are actually only 29-30 lbs. I went through the hassle of buying and returning some injectors because of this. Get some used CAR style LS2 injectors (which are infact 34 lbs at our fuel rail pressure) if you're looking for the next 'step up' without breaking the bank on some 8.1M injectors or other for a while.

anybody on here have any experience with the raider brand lorider tonneau cover? there is a guy on my local CL selling one that came on his 2002 sierra. as far as I can tell the beds are the same up until the NNBS style. Just trying to get whatever input you guys can offer before I drive an hour and a half to go check this thing out...

I picked my ceramic pacesetter long tubes off of Amazon. Fit great no issues at all.

just cruising the interwebs and stumbled across this. Thought I'd share... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNRAfqNjbMw

truck is looking good brother.

I like them bro. I plan on getting a set of something in black (or powdercoating them black if they aren't already). Black and red is the boobies

looking good

awesome thanks for the input guys. one of the drawbacks of being in the military and sitting around on call doing nothing all day is I sometimes start to over think and over complicate things.. Now time to start the hunt for a good set of donor wheels

So my current set up is AWD on a 3/4 drop. I know the general consensus is that anything more than 3 inches drop in the front will cause problems because of the front axles... The idea I've been kicking around is to get a set of 17's and run a 28" or 29" tall tire on them for track use and maybe a little street time when on the spray... My thinking is this though: if I'm already pretty much at the limit of what my axles can handle, I will run into problems running a tire a couple of inches shorter than stock because I'm essentially lowering the truck another 1-2 inches depending on which tire size i end up with. am i thinking about this correctly or am i way out in left field? somebody set me straight please! thanks Also, if anybody has any pictures of their truck lowered with a 17" wheel/ 28" tire combo please post em up!

thing is nasty. I wish I had the monies and time to do something like that. he's probably got over 100 grand under the hood of that thing
