04CHASE Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 unload the passenger! rule of thumb 100 lbs = .1 et. not exact but darn near. what was the da? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Hate to say it but in the summer heat that sounds about right. Adding a CAI & catback won't by themselves make the truck perform any better than stock, you need to get a good PCM tune and that will put you well into the 14's. I'm going to state that in different terms - The FIRST mod recommended is to do what you must to eliminate torque management, meaning install a converter + shift kit + Vette servo + PCM tune; all that with some weight reduction will put the truck (with what you've already got) in the mid-14s, or about 9.2xx in the 1/8th (assuming your truck is like mine '03 AWD SSS). Plus. with the basic tranny mods properly addressed you have a good base to start pouring more heat into the fire (engine mods). Mr. P. Edited June 4, 2007 by Mr. P.

Krambo Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Don't feel bad, I ran 15.3-15.5 stock. I think you are about right. Dump the passenger and find cooler weather and you are in the 14's IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpalaSSpeed96 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yea, don't sound like bad times to me especially w/ the pass in there. All SSS's I've seen run are in the mid 15s in stock trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jond983 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yea, don't sound like bad times to me especially w/ the pass in there. All SSS's I've seen run are in the mid 15s in stock trim. same here i think the fastest SSS times i've seen run in the 14.8 - 15 range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
