they come with a 3-year warranty, did they replace it for him?. other then the bearing problem how did it perform?. thanks.

as mentioned above, they were both run on a downhill street, so that would make the difference imo.

nice run for your current mods.. i'm hoping i'll be around the same

they looked like escalade gauges to me...

best i can tell with a stopwatch is about 4.5 on the ram, and about 4.7 on the SSS. i did it a few times each, and that was the average. i could be wrong or off somehow?, if someone has a more accurate way to figure it out, please do so. i have to say there both awesome trucks

talk about putting the "spark" back into the relationship!

as much as i like the obs silverado over the sierra, is as much as like the nbs sierra over the silverado... good choice, realy nice truck!

i have to agree with chase, i lost exactly 3 tenths before just switching the tires on my old mercury from 235/75/15 (29" od) to a 225/50/15 (24" od) that was a 17.5% decrease in od... so it affectively turned my 3.50 gears into roughly 4.10's. and i done this on the same day, so no variences in weather or anything else. also the rims were the same size, so weight difference couldn't have been much?. you will gain more going from 20"-22"? to a 16" i would say a 245/50/16 should give you about 15%-20% reduction in od from stock, and that should do the trick... jeg's has bfg's or nitto's drag radial's in these size's. good luck

i watched and replayed each clip a lot, and from what i can tell it looked like the ram hit 60 first.. maybe only a few tenth's. as much as i tried i could'nt see it as even. watch the timer, seems like 0-60 in 5 for the SSS and mid 4's for the ram. when i charge my phone i'll time them each....

i'd like a decal as well. i practicaly live on here (the wife will attest to that) so i might as well represent thanks for the chance.

there are 2665 of me. 99.75% of david's are male, so there are more then 1 girl named david

honestly i liked the maxx SS, but i always liked wagons when i was younger i had a 66 impala wagon with a factory 396/th400 and 12bolt-posi all original. and when you remember that in 1972 you could get a chevelle ss wagon, it would fit right in. this has come up a million times before, and i can run down a list if you would like. but the SS stands for super sport not super fast, many of the original ss's were nowhere near a "muscle car" and were just the sportier version of it's particular modle line. Different stokes for different folks I guess. Looks like a chick car to me. mazda miata, bmw Z3, vw bug.. those are chick cars to me. when i was a kid we had a 73 mercury colony park (my bro was born in 75 me in 80) and it was "HUGE" had a 460 in it. i always liked it (had a one my self). i guess theres something cool about having a fast car that no one would ever think is fast, at least to me anyway. but like you said to each there own.

so you race'em yet i'm getting a bit anxious for the results?... GO!

get a g-tech pro ss, it will give you all that info.

damn dude that sounds good. i'm glad the vho/vmax will be included it will add some variety to the competition. now that i'll be trying to compete, i'm going to have to get off my a$$ and get my mod's complete, fix my sig, and hopefully kill a few lightnings and srt's (one can dream right).

the idea sounds great but i do have one question, are all the vho/Vmax guys going to be included in this?.

sounds realy good i think i can hear it bark when you drop it into 1st if so thats cool mine only does that when i'm near LA i live in lancaster and elevation is like 3000ft robs a lot of power

that seems realy fishy... tehnicaly there allowed to do it if they have a valid reason. i would contact the bidder and ask what was the specific reason for canceling the auction (it states there was an error in the listing) while at the same time contacting e-bay an asking them to investigate the auction. there is a cut off point as to when you can no longer end the auction. at the very least you'll get an explanation as to why they ended it, and if some type of proof of wrong doing on there part comes up you may be able to hold them to the sale... but i would'nt hold my breath on the last scenario.

hey 06vho, thanks a lot, that seems like a much better track, only 600 feet above sea level means almost an exact time. so no need to calculate squat!, lol. it seems there next open event is march 2-4 at 8:am, i'm down for that for sure. you know if anyone else is going?. also are you still able to do a tune? i remember when we talked before you offered to help me with the tune, i thought i was going to go with jessie (W4M) but he don't have any 06 cores yet. so if your still able to do it PM me and i'll give you my number or give me yours and i'll call you. thanks again. Some of us have talked about going to Famoso. No set plans that I know of though. As for tuning help, I won't have any free time for a couple of months. how much time would it take... i could meet you somewhere near you if that helps?. if not it's cool. i'll just order one. thanks.

thats me! i actualy posted this before, but my only run in with a SSS was recently on a freeway from 80-100 my truck is limited to 100 he got the jump but i beat him by about a length untill i topped out but i'm getting my tune as soon as i get my tax return and i have'nt installed the wifes x-mas gift yet either (pacesetters) so pretty soon i won't have to let anyone fly buy me due to a technicality. also i had a run in with a 350Z but thats in another topic.

could be?.. or we could be underestimating our trucks?. i'm starting to realize our truck's are not just quick for a truck, but actualy pretty quick in general. and being mine came with the 4.10's i'm hoping that i can crack off a sub 14-second run with my next two mod's????. i just don't know a good track to go to in so-cal, lacr is right near me but it sucks.. it might be my only choice now that i found out carlsbad closed two years ago!.. i felt like a dumb ass when i tried to find there track schedule on-line. come out to fontana(california speedway) there is a street legals race every month or so. im usually out there but i have missed the last one and most likely the next one. i should have the truck running by march. there is a few of us that go out there usually . i'd love to chase, but there track hours just suck for me. from what i heard i'd have to be there by 6:am and that means i leave at 4-4:30 to get there, and then only get a few runs. i just posted another topic in the track section asking for alternatives if any?. i may have no choice but to go to fontana, but i'm not that thrilled about that idea. it just seems to me they could start the drags at a more resonable hour. i mean come on, it don't get dark untill 5:pm why not start at 10-11:am?. that would be a lot more easy for me.

i want to get some good runs at a good track with my truck, i hate going to lacr (it's local for me) and having to use the take a half a second off rule to figure out what my corrected time would be?. i kept thinking i would go to carlsbad raceway near san diego being it's at sea level, but like a dumb-ass i just found out it closed over 2 years ago! so now i don't know where to go?... from what i heard about fontana theres no lights so they run way too early, and i'm not getting there at 6:am to get 4-5 runs in, and i live about 90 miles from there so an all nighter is out of the question. i don't think pomona is open to the public??. and i don't like the idea of the 1/8 mile irwindale track. is there any other choice i'm not aware of?, if so please let me know. thanks in advance for any suggestions or oppinions.
