Vortec MAX Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Smog test? What's that? They test the exhaust for pollutants? Ask the tester guy this: How the heck to you expect my truck to suck in polluted, dirty California air, then put out clean exhaust? Is my truck supposed to CLEAN the air?

Vortec MAX Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) Hey Mike you still doing the tuninng? I dont mind the mail in thing but shit if I can get it done in one day I would rather do that. After I get some bolt ons of course. Im just Are you talking to me? My tune is a mail order. Nelson tuned a PCM and mailed it to me. You then send your stock PCM back as a core. No down time that way. I love my tune! The first tune, I just did his suggested settings, but insisted he leave in 20% of the torque management. On the second tune, he softened my shifts back to stock for normal driving up to 1/3 throttle and removed torque management completely. I am very happy with my tune at this point.

2006_superado Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 The one to really watch out for is the 2WD Performance Edition with 4.10 gears. Someone on this site has one. That truck combines the light weight of 2WD with the lower gears. A potent package. Mike 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.

Dylan06SS Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) This actually surprises me. An AWD SS weighs essentially the same as a 4WD V-Max. The AWD SS has 4.10 gears the same as a 4WD V-Max. They have the same motor and transmission ratios. The only advantage the SS has is that they are lower to the ground. This might translate into less drag at high speeds. I would think that a 4WD V-Max and an AWD SS would be side by side to 90 MPH or so. You also have to keep in mind that each truck is a little different... Back when I still had my SSS it was a factory freak and ran faster than others with IDENTICAL modifications... some trucks are slow, some are fast, most fall somewhere in the middle. PROOF: This was me (near lane) and JonmalibuSS (far lane) a while back... both AWD, both running an identical list of mods, including the same intake, tune, etc. Both running on stock wheel/tire combo... only real difference was he was without his tailgate, which should've been an advantage. Our trucks were good examples of the 2 contrasts... like I said, mine was a bit of a freak and his gave him alot of problems... just goes to show how differnet 2 of the same trucks can be.

nxtnlne Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I agree with you. My dad in 1989 bought a new toyo p/u 22re for $5,900 . In 2000 my buddie purchased 1994. It sat alot about 3 months at a time.. When my buddie got his toyo he came right over and called me out. after a jump start and no warm up I proceeded to whoop his ass. LOL later he added headers,cam and sprocket, throttle body, intake,exhaust, flywheel. My truck would still give him hell.3 gear chirps..lol fun truck. Later he went on to gears nitrous and turbo kit. RIP TIckaty Tack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
