SSThunder Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I must say I was a little bit sad to have to get back into my ss after that ride. I was on another forum and found another speed freak less than a mile from my house. He has a 2003 Silverado with a radix SC, 90mm TB, built trans, headers and more and that truck really moves. His best 1/4 time is 12.59 and I can see why. He stalled it up to around 2800 and lauched it pretty hard. That thing took off like a bat out of h#!!. I'm pretty happy I decided to get in on the GP. Now to get that thing paid for and shipped so I can get my SS in the 12's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevolutionRaceWorks Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 The coolest thing I think personally with the radix'd trucks is seeing all 4 tires start spinning on a hard launch that in my opinion shows an exsample of brute power for a truck thats over 5000 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it end? I never thought I would ever spend soooo much money lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KySilverado Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 It doesn't matter where you are at performance wise with your truck. A true speed freak always wants to go faster. It's not so much the destination for me, its the journey. I like doing modding. Wouldn't want to do it for a living, it takes the fun out of it. I've come a long way with my project and have achieved/exceeded what I originally wanted to do. A true streetable and dependable solid 13 second truck. May be years down the road but I now want the same criteria but solid 11's. Will probably require a complete drivetrain swap. Forged 408, single front mount turbo, 4l80E, and strong diffs.
