Was it a V-Max or a 5.3L?
-
That's cool, should have kept the Super Sport. It is an LTZ or LT? Have you noticed how the truck dosen't get all it's power instantly when you floor it?
-
Arrival Blue is an awesome color, I think it is the best SS color. I tryed to buy one but I didn't find any so I ended up with a V-Max. 17,500 dollars is a pretty good deal, I usually see SS between 23,000 or 25,000 dollars.

I need to tune my V-Max cause that 3 or 4 second delay sucks, it hauls ass though after those seconds. What kind of custom tune could I get, if anyone knows?

I don't think a Titan can hang with an SSS or a V-Max, I destroyed a Crew Cab Titan in my 5.3 Classic so I don't think they can hang with an SS or a V-Max.

Here ya go. click here
Nice truck man, you don't really see V-Max Sierras, what are your plans for it?
-
I always wanted a v8 and to have a fullsize. Fell in love with the silveradoss, but decided I wanted something more conservative looking. Why are there so many SS guys replys in here? Did they not see this is why we bought are VORTECMAXES/VHOS? lol
Do you have any pictures of your truck?

I always see harley F-150 around my town, but none of them run.

Not sure what they are limited at (check the speed rating on the tires, that may indicate a clue) however, my father purchased one and when I took it for a drive I noticed it is very strong up top however off the line, I wasn't impressed as I though I would be. I instantly asked him if I can hook up the laptop and he said hell no. FWIW though, his truck will turn the tires over from a start.
A tune to wipe out the TM, lean her out a tad and add some spark will make this truck jump IMO. Other than that the truck is a great machine.
Well I got stock Goodyear Wrangler AT/S tires so I don't think they are speed rated high. On the launch they aren't that quick, but it gain power sick at higher speeds and it feels faster than my 5.3, but on the takeoff it feels like my 5.3 would beat my V-Max , but from 30 to 95 I think it will beat my 5.3L. I just need a tune to get all that power from the 6.0 engine.

Take it outta 4-wheel drive.
What's the gear ratio? Has it acted like this since you purchased it new?
My V-Max is rear wheel drive, I think the gear ratio is 3.73 and it is getting more power than before, but I don't like waiting a few seconds to get all my power, it is fast though, I just need a tune to get all my power. GM has put to much torque management on these new trucks. I also need to drop it, it is to high.

The wait sucks dude, but I'm sure it will be worth waiting when you have exhuast on. When I put flowmaster on my Classic 5.3L it was worth the wait. Pretty soon I will install exhuast on my V-Max, because I can't stand not having exhuast on my truck.

I have a V-Max NBS and after 95 mph it dosen't pull anymore, it just stops and stays at 95, also it takes a while for it to get going when I floor it. Why is my truck limited so low and why does it take a couple of seconds to get full power? After a few seconds it pulls really hard, this truck has power, but it dosen't put it down like it should. My classic 5.3 used to hit 108 mph like nothing and after that it just stopped and it responded instantly when I used to floor it. My V-max dosent spin the tires when I floor it on a stop, only when I step on the brake and accelarte. What can I do, is there any tuning available for the NBS? Right now it feels like my 5.3 is faster than my V-Max. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Looks awesome

Thanks dude

How do I black out my tail lights on my V-max? How have you guys blacked out your tail lights?
-
Thanks for all the compliments guys, I already want to modify it. For sure I'm getting exhaust,limo tint,20's, and a tune, my V-Max maxes out at 95 mph so I really need a tune. Yeah, I got the NHT package and it came with rear disc and it brakes really good, better than my classic 5.3L. My truck came out to be 35,000 dollars so a crew cab would be a little more. It also depends on the options you get because you can get a LT Silverado with the V-Max engine and it would be cheaper than 35,000. Mine was 35,000 because it's an LTZ.

Here are some pictures of my brand new Vortec Max, I bought it July the Fourth and it is an LTZ. I traded in my 2006 Silverado for it, i traded my classic because the brakes kept messing up. At first I looked for an SS Silverado at local dealers but they didn't have any, so I bought this one cause it pretty close to being an SS. It is fully loaded except for sunroof. My plans for it are to put exhuaust, tint,20 inch rims and fix up it. It also has disc brakes in the rear, a thing my Classic didn't have.
Here are some pictures of my Classic which I traded in for the V-Max, it was a 5.3L Silverado and it was awesome, it was pretty fast for being a 5.3L.

Well the NBS V-Max have 367hp stock and 375 ft/pds of torque, but can a NBS V-max beat an SS stock for stock?
-
Well I don't own a SS Silverado, but I just bought a NBS Vortec Max, I was looking for a SS Silverado at a lot of Chevrolet dealers and I didn't find any at all so I bought a V-Max. My new Vortec Max is an extended cab LTZ and it is fully loaded except for sunroof. What made me buy my truck was that I always wanted an SS or a V-Max, so I bought one. I had a 2006 Silverado 5.3L and I traded it in for my V-Max because my 5.3L kept wasting the brakes to fast, so I just bought the V-Max, I bought it on the fourth of July.What I like about my truck is the leather interior and that around were I live you don't see any NBS V-Max LTZ Silverados. I'll post some pictures later.

Tonight was pretty cool, I was in my Silverado and I punked some ricers, they made a right turn and they signaled to go right to run I guess and they punched it and before they knew it I cut them off and I was in front of them and after that they calmed down and they didn't want anything after that. after that I was crusing and at the stop light there was a 2500 HD Silverado and when I took of that fool punched it and we raced and I got to say this was a pretty quick HD beacause it was at my drivers door, but we slowed down because of the light. After that I saw black SS and I followed him to run, and we lined up and he punched it and I was kind of taking him but he started catching up sick we were right next to each other and I slowed down because the lane merged. But that SS sounded really mean and it looked really nice, the vortec max engine roared sick and it was fully loaded. I ran that SS were I ran another SS too. I think it was an 2006 SS the one I ran today. So I won two races and I wish would have had more room to run that black SS. I think it would have beaten me in a longer run. So today was pretty cool, I haden't run my truck in a month and the first day I took it out I got in to three races.

Truck is pretty cool, Chevrolet should have dropped a 5.3L on the S-10 Xtreme and it would have been awesome. Must be pretty quick, because Silverado's with 5.3 are pretty quick and imagine an S-10 which is way lighter it must haul ass.

Are hawk brake pads good?
-
They are basically the same truck except the VHO always got the 20 inch Chevrolet Rims and the Vortec Max comes with the 17in or 20 in rims, because it is the same 6.0 engine. I think the Vortec Max looks better than the VHO because the Classic Vortec Max have the power dome hood.

On my V-Max I took out the GM emblem and the Silverado rear decal, I only left V-Max so people know what engine I got and I left LTZ so people know it's loaded.
