I emailed that guy and told him to take his sorry @ss and his POS truck back to Mexico where it belongs

Sucks man... sorry to hear about that bro!! I see its cylinder #7... Why do I have a funny suspicion that the recent tuning caused it to run a little more leaner than normal and blow up #7? oh well. Good luck with the new motor!! Really shows how bullet proof the tranny is to outlast the motor with that kind of power!!

That happened about 5 miles away from here.. I live in Ladera Ranch which is where that girl is from. My neighbors know who she was (i dont) and that was her car, and not her dads. I dont care if I have all the money in the world, there would be NO WAY IN HELL i would give my 18yr old daughtry (if i had one) a friggen Porsche 911. I hold her dad responsible for giving his daughter a car like that .. it was like giving her a loaded gun.

Hey man... trust me, you cant go wrong with the Toy Shop. Not only does their work kick ass, but Mike and Kendall are some of the nicest guys I have dealt with in the automotive industry period. You dont feel like you have just been bent over and stuck with a baseball bat when you walk out of there. Good luck.. I am sure the tranny will be 1000 times better than before!!! Kris

Yeah dude, 75% of those rails are driven by drunk ass morons in Glamis. My brother witnessed a lifted golf cart get T-boned by a 1000+HP rail in Glamis 3-4 years ago... not a pretty site. 2 people died... Just make sure you have a tall ass whip on the back of it so people can see you coming!!!! And have fun of course

I havent driven one, one of my friends has who owns a C6 has drove one. He told me that the SRT8 handles/steers/drives/accelerates like a sports car. Coming from a guy that has a C6 with about 10K in suspension/engine mods, that is enough to tell me that the SRT8 jeep is no joke. You do have a point with the TBSS though. I didnt know that the TBSS could tow more or have more utility than the SRT8 ? I never looked into that. That is a good reason right there. I noticed the SRT8's exhaust tips come straight out the back in the middle of the bumper, so I assume you cant put a hitch there.. where as the TBSS has the exhaust on the right side and a place for a hitch. Anyone know what the towing capacity differences are on them both? Because I am seriously looking into trading the wifes 350Z for an SUV and she REALLY likes the SRT8 (cant sell the TBSS to her, she doesnt like em ) because we are planning to have a kid next year. But I need something that can tow a mastercraft X-star (4250lbs).... I was hoping the SRT8 could do it?

So your a black guy? if not, this does not compute.

I like the TBSS and everything... but if I was in the market for a sports SUV my $40K would go to the SRT8 (sorry Chevy..) just because it is the superior performance SUV. the AWD TBSS vs AWD SRT8 it would not be a competition. Not to mention the Dodge doesnt have a weak ass 4L70E GM tranny I am willing to bet that the TBSS might be able to hang a little with the SRT8, but handling wise, the SRT8 more than likely hands the TBSS its ass on a silver platter. Lets face it... Dodge has their SRT division in gear, while the SS division at Chevy is trying to sell some cool bumper and cladding packages. Chevy really needs to ramp up the SS name... or they are better off making the SS stand for "Slow & Show"

we motorcross guys think of the Rhino's as dirtbikes with training wheels (and quads too) But those things are pretty sick. Just watch out... they roll over quick.. I saw one rolling down a bowl in Pismo last year ... with no one in it. I guess it rolled over the dudes ribs or something when it threw him out, and he got pretty messed up.

Yeah, a bunch of tight pant wearing emo kids with long hair is in that band <insert rainbow icon here>

145 in a 45? Is this a joke? That is something you get arrested on the spot for... you have to be the biggest tool I have ever seen. If you guys think he has learned his lesson, just watch. Next weeks topic from 26dub_ss: "Need advice!@! I hit someone and ran, should i turn myself in?! I dont think no one saw me!! I was only going 75 in a 45 this time!!! I dont think they died, so should i just not do anything?? thx bye"

This has been happening to a LOT of people on here recently... I even made a post about this when it happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Heres my pic -

well, considering you live in LA, the cop was probably on his way to respond to a drive by shooting or finding a hideout spot to smoke the dope he just picked up from the local crack dealer.

did you get tuned on the awd dyno grranetelli? im planning on going there after i get a few things finished up to see what i can put down and go with a 2.bar, SD/maf tune. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, but once I get my tune all squared away I want to get some numbers on the dyno also. Maybe we can get together and go there the same day.. and maybe get some SS's to meet up there then and have an 'SS Dyno day' !!

There is no way in hell that truck will ever see production... If it came in an extended/crew cab, that would be the truck that would replace my SS so I could get started on building my new motor for the truck.

Dude I second you on the tattoos thing... I got a little work done from Hart & Huntington when I was down there.. can I saw.. RIP OFF... decent work... WAYYY too overpriced. Something like $500/hr pretty much!!! F-that

A place near Ventura I would recommend would be JPA in Chatsworth. Also, in Van Nuys there is a place called Strictly Performance who does tuning on Granetelli Motosports (in Oxnard) AWD dyno. Give them a try

Nice times man!! If you want to dip in the 13's with that setup, You need to add some long tube headers (Dynatech or Pacesetter for example) and full 3" exhaust. That should put you at 14.2-14.3 or so (with a retune) To get you in the 13's for sure, you will need a high stall torque converter (anything over 2600 stall) and a cam. Futral motorsports can hook you up with a good cam, or talk to Zippy, he has a cam that has been proven to make some major improvements. Make sure you retune after the headers/exhaust/cam though! You should be able to hit 13.8-13.9's easy after that.

Also the 2003 has a different fuel system from the 2004-up SS's..

Strangly enough he drives it around pretty regularly... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's a nice guy with an extremely nice truck. Can't believe a few of you guys....... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Im just messin around... I have to represent the guys! I respect any vehicle that someone spends their time and $$ on to make go fast... I just like to bust some balls here and there man.. lol

Last time I checked, this was SilveradoSS.com A Dodge in the 9's is like strapping a jet engine to a turd. No matter how fast it is, its still a piece of shit.

mine does it too. According to my scanguage, it never goes over 185F though. The needle in the gauge cluster does fluctuate, especially driving in town... not on the freeway though because its getting more air through the radiator. I dont think the stock cooling system can keep the temps at 175F all the time.

Yeah it pisses me off... I was trying to pass a car on the freeway today, I floor it.. and it just falls flat on its face. Went straight up to 7.5* of KR right away, and SLOWLY tapered down.. but it felt like it wasnt going anywhere. Its pretty much useless in 3rd gear. I am thinking I might need to just have it not lock the TC until 110+ MPH WOT.

Dylan, I am willing to bet that it helps the truck stay more consistent.. especially after the truck has been sitting still warm. The PCM in these things pull timing like crazy when the IAT temps are higher. I would buy it if I were u...

Chase, i dont see your times goin up with the IAT sensor location.. but going down a little. All that you made happen now is your PCM will be pulling timing a lot more because it will see hotter temps all the time... but its safer now... I know if my truck wasnt seeing boosted temps and only ambient temps, it wouldnt pull as much timing (that and the fact i get so much knock I only run 8-9* of timing 99% of the time in 3rd gear)
