  2. Fs - Used Volant Cai

    in For Sale/ Wanted

    Posted · Edited by Luke (see edit history)

    Anyone interested in a used Volant intake? It is off of my 05 SSS. I also have a used 160 degree thermostat and an almost new (3000 miles) Amsoil Ea Air Induction Filter for the Volant intake. PM me if you are interested. The Amsoil filter is a much better filter than the stock Volant filter. I'm looking to sell this as a package deal.

     

    everything for $210 + Shipping

     

    or

     

    Amsoil EAAU6080 I paid $66.70 - yours for $35 + Shipping

    Volant CAI I paid $269 - yours for $190 + Shipping

    SLP 160 deg. stat. I paid $20 - yours for $10 + Shipping

  3. Back to Stock

    You guys were right. It started right up w/o hesitation. I took it for a test drive and you can really tell the difference. With the stock tune the shifts are so soft now (I had most all TQ management removed).

    Did you buy a new PCM that got tuned and just kept the stock PCM? If so I don't see why the stock PCM would need to relearn anything.

     

    Yup, that is exactly what I did. I'm going to give it a try after dinner.

    Well, I finally took off all my mods (intake, T-stat, PCM), so I can sell my SSS. Will I have to do the relearn process? I dumped some coolant while changing the thermostat, so I didn't have enough to start it up last night. I've heard that if the PCM has been in that vehicle before the relearn is not necessary.

     

    What else will the PCM have to relearn?

  6. Trading in the SSS.

    i would try and sell it private party, cause you'll most likely get more money that way.

     

    What do you think an 05 w/ 29.5K in great shape will go for at the dealer vs. a private individual? The kbb for a trade in is $25k. I figure the mods are worth about $500 bucks. I know that the dealer will probably low ball the trade in value. What should I expect? That is a big determining factor as to whether I go through with this deal or not.

    guess your not ordering the supercharger now huh

     

    Nope, I just couldn't justify putting that kind of money into it with 30k on the clock. Maybe I'll SC the TBSS :devil:

    I did call Magna Charger and they gave me a PN PN (01-12-60-007). Unless you buy a used Radix you are still looking at 5k+. I remember when you could get the Silver Intercooled Radix for under 5K.

    I test drove a 07 TBSS AWD a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since (WOW). I was very impressed with the throttle response not to mention the sound of that LS2. I love the SSS, but I don't use it as a truck (don't tow with it or have big toys). 4 doors and covered storage is a plus.

     

    My question is should I return my SSS to stock, that is, take off my CAI, 160* stat., and put the stock PCM back in? It would take a few hours tops. I think the only thing I could use in the TBSS is the thermostat, but I could sell the rest. What do you guys think?

  11. OEM Tires

    in General SS

    Posted

    For all of you still runinng stock wheels, how many miles were you able to get out of the OEM tires? I'm about ready to turn 29,000 on the original set. I noticed that they are slightly cupped and I wonder if this is adding to the dreaded "grawl" up front.

  13. PN for Radix SC (intercooled) for a 05' SS

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Posted · Edited by Luke (see edit history)

    I just checked out the Magna Charger website and I don't see where they offer an Intercooled SC for the 05' SS? Is it the same as for an 03' (PN 01-12-60-002)?

     

    Anyone have a 05' SS with a Radix? I'm sure the SC kit is the same, but what about the tune (e-fans, TQ Management, etc.). Does the handheld tuner allow you run a 160 deg. stat? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    I also noticed that when it got plugged with snow the truck couldn't breath enough for my current tune, i was getting KR real bad, so it must help by allowing better programing.

    There is no way I could have one (at least year round). I don't know how I could forget, but the blowing snow around here is nasty. This was last winter (back of the truck facing the wind!).Winter

     

    I may just save up for a cat back exhaust.

  20. CAI

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    I am looking into getting a CAI for my 03 ss....just wondering which one gets the most for its value...i have seen Volant, k&n, and outlaw CAIs mentioned here... thanx

     

    I'm love my Volant intake. I recently switched to an Amsoil EaAU Filter (seems to be a much better filter). Something about being able to see daylight through the Volant filter made me a little uneasy.

  22. R.C. Cars, Planes, Heli's??

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted · Edited by Luke (see edit history)

    Well I guess it depends on how much RC experience you have and how much you are willing to spend. I've had RC toys since I was a kid, but only recently stepped up to the $$$ models.

     

    Are you sold on a "gas" powered model? Anymore the electric models have as much power and performance and they are much cleaner to run. Then again, if you have the room to run one there is nothing quite like a 1/5 scale gas car or truck. I've only run my Baja (see photo) twice as this winter has been a Bi$%H.

    RC helis are not the best choice for a beginning pilot. Especially a "Nitro" powered model. For a great beginner heli check out the Blade CX2. I bought one last month and I've had a blast with it. Its and indoor model, but it may be flown outdoors on a calm day.

     

    I don't know much about RC planes, but they are easier to fly than an RC heli. Check out Ready-To-Fly Planes.

     

    Hope this helps out.

  24. My new toy!

    I assume you are getting a SS supercharged and not the SS with the 2.4L. My Si is fairly quick, but I think the SS supercharged is about .7 sec quicker 0-60 (C&D). I think they are pretty close in the handling department. I love my Si. It has a LDS, 6 spd, and a 8100 rpm red-line so its super fun in the twisties. :thumbs:

     

    P.S. I'll see what I can do about getting some pix of dead stuff. :crackup:
