  6. SSS'S in New England Attention

    in Events, Gatherings, & Rallys

    Posted · Edited by Sum 1 (see edit history)

    September 23rd should be better/cooler weather anyway. So that's my vote and I know for sure, I can be there barring a rainstorm.

     

    How we doing for trucks? Got 10 yet?

     

    I'm anxious to get back out to the drags. Just picked up my truck from Dez Racing, yesterday and it's haulin' azzzzz....buit that's for another thread.

     

    Teddy :cheers:

     

    PS- Zane, I could probly meet you somewhere to grab that banner before the date. Or, you could actually ride shotgun and come along... :dunno:

  7. Headers?

    The Pacesetters got popular since they started selling them last December/January because they are the only 4x4 LT option other than the Dynatechs and they are @ 1/3 the price. Also, the Dynatechs had a funky curve in their design and some guys were having issues with plug wires melting. Their new design is much better (looking) but I've only heard of a couple guys running them yet who've said there's no issue with the wires. But, they're still 3x the price of the Pacesetters...

     

    As far as gains with the LT's, I picked up @ 11 rwhp/tq on the dyno with them and the rest of my exhaust before tuning. After tuning it was up @ 40 hp/tq at the wheels.

  9. Cam opinions

    You aren't going to get away with that in a stock 6.0. That's probly not running in an automatic. If it is, you'd have to stall it up to 3500ish to launch it. Plus it's making power at 6000+ and a truck intake won't flow up there.

     

    WTH are you running in your truck that you can get away with that cam?

    2wd x-cab's have 4.10's like mine.

    2wd crew's have 3.73's check chevys web site and you'll see...

    also if you want i can scan my window sticker, if you don't believe me?.

    and the SSS 2wd doe's have 3.73's like the "performance edition" (mechanical SSS clone) of the V-max..

    mine is the "performance package" option.

     

    Nah dude, I believe you.

    When I "built" mine on the Chevy site, I never opted for anything other than a CC.

    Good info, thanks.

  17. v-max single or duel exhaust better?..

    you got that much from just the exhaust?.. and that much more from the tune?... wow!.. who did your tune?, and what was the specs on it?.

    thanks and i love the site :D  :cheers:

     

    Yes and yes.

    Dez Racing in Seekonk, MA is the only place I'll let work on my toys. Don (aka SlowHawk over on tech) is the best builder/tuner around here for GenIII's and his tunes are custom road and dyno.

     

    My truck's there tonight and for the next few days getting lots of new goodies :thumbs:

    Word is, stock manifolds flow well enough that shorty headers aren't worth doing. Long tubes improve exhaust scavenging and prove gains in low end torque. Our motors don't perform well at high RPM (due to intake manifold restriction) so unless you're doing a large cam and springs or high flow heads, it'd be a waste to buy shortys.

     

    Dual mufflers and tailpipes is all you need there.

     

    I dyno'd before and after my exhaust with the stock tune and picked up 7rwhp and 11rwtq with my config. Tuning brought it up +40 each at the wheels.

     

    There's no stupid questions, Newb.

     

    Welcome aboard, nice truck! :cheers:

  24. Anyone have Magnaflow??

    Thanks SUM 1!!

     

    I was lookign to turn these down somewhere under the truck.  You say that the interior resonance isn't too bad?  I just want to make sure I don't need to wear hearing protection to drive it!!  Thanks again!!

    Dude, I had Flowmasters on my Tahoe which required turning the radio up to the end of the third bar just to equalize the sound on the highway. With the config I'm running now, I can keep the radio off and talk to my kids in the back seat with no issues at all.

    I'm so sold on the round Magnaflow's (which I call 'cannons') that I can't imagine ever using anything else. Both for quality and performance. And I'm a meticulous, prick :D
