powell

I'll give that a try and see what kind of 60's it will pull. I definitely need to play around with the launch more. Doing a 94 octane tune right now, it feels like its got lots of life left in it for a high 13 pass.

Haha must have been a Tuesday!

Thanks for the reply guys, planning on hitting up the dyno this weekend. Will keep you guys posted on any power it makes.

Thanks for the reply zippy. This pass was made on stock good year Ls-2's 275/55 with about 50% rubber left and at 30psi. when I was running running my brand new good year fortera 285/45 I was getting much better 60's. For now I want to try and spit out a high 13 on the stock tires and stock cam. I'm saving up some cash for drag radials right now. Was thinking Mickey Thompsons of the nitto's you suggested. I'm thinking about a cam and a stall. I want something very efficient and streetable. I was thinking about a trailblazer stall and not sure on the cam. A y suggestions?

Yup, haha!

Launching from 1000 rpm and feathering the pedal until I get traction. Best 60' I've mustered is about 2.05. Times like this I wish it was awd haha! As the night went on my 60's got worse. Track was un prepped that night, and on a good day it's not all that well prepped.

Well Long story short.... As some of you guys i know over the winter i picked up some 1-3/4" ARH longtubes. This spring after getting the truck out of storage i installed them and changed up my exhaust. Installed a new DI-DO 3" Magnaflow tipped in front of the rear tire with two stock SS tips powder coated black (pics to follow of my new look) About 2 weeks or so ago me and some buddies went down to the local track and made some passes. Ran a 14.43 with the new long tubes and exhaust. Which i didnt think was too bad considering i hadnt re-tuned the truck since all the exhaust work .My buddy Dr. Tedder started tuning the truck up. Went back this saturday night after making edits to the tune and ran a best of 14.06 with a not so good 60'. I'm just getting ready to install my LC-1 Widband, new taylor 10.4mm plug wires and some autolite copper core plugs. Hoping to tune its way into a 13.8 on some 94 octane. Raced a couple of quick cars that night. A newer Evo and STI were at the track they both ran a best of 13.8's. I beat the STI a couple of times which was some good fun! Hoping to be the fastest stock cammed, stock tire SS on the board. Wish me luck! Big thanks to the Dr.

I agree, looks like I wasn't the only one having problems. If you get ahold of kb and keep on him, he will follow through. It's a communication thing. if its going to take 8 weeks, then I'm waiting 8 weeks. That's fine, just tell me. I ordered a ton of led bulbs and ended up getting refunded. All my hids showed up in decent time after I started texting him. GL guys, Kb is a good dude and I know he's trying to make it happen.

X2 no such thing as an 06 awd

Like a boss, way to step up Dmarian

Huuuuge improvement! Gunmetal ss badges would look wicked!

Just installed my Arh's, they fit, look, and sound awesome! Well worth the money

The idea of that fender bowtie is cool, aye not executed the best. Corvettes engine bay s pretty bad aaaass.

Is it 4th gear or over drive? My truck will not kick into od until it has reached operating temp

How did I miss this thread? Amazing work! Can't wait to see it all buttoned up

I was referring to your 22's. just read that they are 330's in your sig. I bought the same wheels a few months back and just put them on, without a doubt one of my favorite wheels

My condolences, that's a nice truck, shouldn't have any problems getting a decent dollar for it

What brand of wheels are those? Can't tell on my iPad

Nice looki truck, good luck on the build!

Me too, that's why I grabbed it! Going to replace my side exit tips with two stockers.

Mannnn... Where are some more pics of this thing? It feels like I have been watching this thread forever!,

Sorry to hear about your old truck, and gad to hear you got a SSS! Where abuts are you located? I'm in the kitchener Waterloo area.

The 2wd SS's have the same suspension components as the awds. I think all vortex maxs run the same torsion bar suspension.

If it was like $2000 it would be a fun car. Just think about pulling up to a light in a dented yellow focus... with a big as$ shot of nitrous... and beating the pants off of a stock 5.0l mustang! Anyone want to go splits on a $hitty geo and drop a 100shot on it and race around until it blows up?

That's a really nice looking truck man! Congrats on the new born, happy modding
