  2. Stuff Forsale: Mini Computer, 350 L98 engine, palm

    in For Sale/ Wanted

    Posted · Edited by —Bauker™— (see edit history)

    eBox-3800SL: 700mhz, 256mb, 60gb hitachi 7200rpm drive. It's basically new. Origianlly for my truck but I’ve decided to go another route. I only got to use it long enough to load Windows Media and test it out. The hard drive is in the little zipper case which is inside a portable hard drive case that I modified to work with the system (it has to be done). Comes with power cord, stand, drivers, and box. O/S Is not included.

     

    Here's a line with more info: Click

    Palm Tungsten C. Looks and works like new. Screen is perfect. Comes with cords, cradle, and software all in the original box.

  7. SS AWD vs. SS 2WD

    in Street

    Posted

    I met up with a few fellas who are pretty hard core racers, they are all really cool and have the sweetest trucks.  We all met one day just admiring each others rides which was awesome BUT I think we all wanted to see how they would run too!  So of course we head out of town to run em.  A few trucks made some nice runs but I think me and the other 2WD SS wanted to see where our trucks stood. 

     

    Both SS's have similar mods.  My AWD SS has CAI, Corsa catback, and Nelson Tune.  My buddies 2WD SS has CAI, longtubes (no cats), and a tune (not sure which kind).

     

    Anyhow, we line em up and hit it.  I immediatley jump on him by 1/2 a truck, around 100mph we shut em down and I would say I was a truck and half in front.  Man was that fun! :driving:

     

    Oh, we are all getting together again this weekend for a Race Wars event.  One guy in the group has a fairly stock Ford Harley truck (supercharged).  Would my AWD SS with 16's stand a chance against the Harley?  Win or loose I will soon find out, just wanted to see what you SS'ers thought?

     

    Thanks for posting this because I have a 2wd SS and my friend has an AWD SS and we wanted to run them... now i know i will lose haha.. I think it will be a close race between the Harley Davidson and you. There is only one way to find out :driving:

    I've ran a couple AWD SSS. The first time was a learning experience. He didn’t win but he got me off the line and it was hard to come back. From that point on I applied a little gas while on the brake and it REALLY improved my launch. I was able to take him off the line and continue my lead. It makes a world of a difference.

  11. Calculating compression

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted

    I’ve been doing a little research on some heads for my truck and fiddling with a compression calculator I found online

     

    Calculator

     

    To verify my results I used the LS1 and compared to the LS6. Equating the 2.22cc difference to .4 difference in compression.

     

    Then using the same offset “Gasket Thickness in inches (add plus or minus amount piston is in the hole)”, and I noticed that the LQ9 and LS1 are a little different offset wise.

     

    Here's the LQ9 offset

    Cylinder Diameter

    .0528

     

    and here's the LS1's

    .0573

     

    I was under the impression that both the LS1 and LQ9 had flat top pistons and the same block deck height, just different materials. Am I mistaken about one of them? Can someone verify? Obviously I must be since the LS1 has 66.67cc heads and the LQ9 has 71.06cc heads but both still manage the same compression of 10.1:1. What's the difference though?

  13. Big Brakes

    in Suspension & Brakes

    Posted

    My buddy at Baer told me that the 6 piston kit will accept up to a 17" rotor but they haven’t released the 16" or 17" yet. I told him to let me know when they release them, but in all honesty, I don't think I need them. I slammed on the brakes from 80mph just for fun the other day, and it was scary. What blew me away wasn't how fast it stopped, but the distance it did it in. :eek:

    why are you selling?  I could be interested I am PMing you.

     

    Selling them because I put a new engine w/ Patriot heads that have the dual spring setup. These were on my old LS1 engine I used to have in the truck.

     

    Returning PM

    Not to get off topic but how are the patriot heads? I've heard good and bad. Do the heads have roller rocker shafts?

     

    Patriots came out very nice. I am currently having some oil burning issues but I have not yet determined if its from the heads or not. I am leaning more toward my pcv system.

    Not sure what you mean by rocker shafts? :dunno: I'm just using stock rockers on these.

     

    Btw; Springs are pending sale with cstchevy.

    I've heard reports of shafts breaking. Not sure, it was a post on here.

  18. Any benifits to recharging the A/C?

    in General SS

    Posted

    The A/C in this truck doesn't seem too effective. I'm sure it's working fine but in this Arizona heat it doesn't work as well as Id like. I had a camaro back in the day that I drained and recharged with some special crap and the refrigerant and the thing blew crazy cold. Anyone do this?

  19. SSS Vs. Ram Hemi

    in Street

    Posted

    First off, let me make it clear that I had no intention of making this a fair race. I’ve had my nitrous for 2 weeks and haven't had a decent race up until now. Prior to that I had everyone and their mother trying to race me. So, with that being said, bottle was open, the switch was flipped and half way through first gear I floored it and lit the tires up to all hell and left him like he was standing still. No doubt the outcome was disgusting... like 15-20 car lengths by 80 disgusting.. The distance was so great in fact, that it could only be described in AU (astronomical unit, the distance from the Earth to the Sun). While I realize my actions were cruel and insensitive, I in no way feel remorse. None. Ill admit, it felt good. Id do it again if I had the chance.

     

    Now, if you don’t mind I’m going to go continue to daze at my desk for another hour before lunch and then smother myself in delicious food from Carls Jr… Call it a victory lunch if you will…

     

    Good day,

  21. Upgrading a 4L70E?

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    I was half listening to the guy when he was talking about the planetaries. I've never been really 'up' on transmissions but I ask everyone about this 4L70 just cuz I've never heard/read a straight answer as to WTF it has in it.

     

    Zippy, if you're asking me about towing, not me.

     

    The test I'm interested in is to see how long a 4L70 lasts for someone with a blower. That's were the others all seem to fail miserably.

     

     

     

    There have been alot of 65E's out there that with simply a shift kit have lasted quite well behind 6.7L's, superchargers, and nitrous. Alot of it is in the programming as well as a good shift kit.

    So is there a kit for the 4l70e?

  22. Nitrous users

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Posted

    Is anyone using their nitrous in 1st gear? I know most of you are AWD so traction isn’t really a problem. On 50shot half way through first gear it broke the tires loose. On 100shot at 50mph it broke them loose. I’m just wondering what 150shots going to be like. I’m sure I won’t even be able to use it in first gear. Should be fun times. :driving: Anyone have any advice for me, beside not blowing the tranny? :lol:
