smoke03 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 It was prolly bout 60* out side and probably 45 minutes or so between runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Might not be the exhaust then but just a TBTC should get you a 0.5 sec along with a shift kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12'SROCK Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 get a nice coverter like PI, Yank, TCS, APS, Edge and you will be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoke03 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I guess that may be my next step... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUT2WIN Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Your 60' doesnt seem right. They say 1 tenth drop in 60' is 2 tenths dropped in the 1/4. So if that is correct, a 2.0 should put you at about a 14.30. Your MPH seems a little low also. Temps seem alright but what was the DA? I take it you are running on stock 20s? Your times on some 16s should be closer to mine. Check out CenWaSS's truck. He has an 05 AWD and went 14.39 with CAI, Corsa catback, and Nelson tune on some tahoe 16s. He now added Dynatech LTs and should be running it soon............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoke03 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 ive been told that before...that smaller wheels would cut the time down...I dunno I may try that next time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm very happy with my yank. Also, don't forget to get a tranny cooler with that torque converter. Tranny MUST stay cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I agree that the 60' time is very slow. The headers should have added torque from about 2800rpm on up. If you look at the track times list most stock converter trucks pull 60' times around 2.12 or so and the exceptional one's like Bob47 have went 2.031 and still pulled off over 94mph trap speed on the 20's with minimal mods. I wouldn't be pre-loading the stock converter that hard, you aren't gaining anything by doing so other than building up alot of heat in the trans and engine at the line. I would think that something is causing KR* right off the line and carrying on the rest of the way through. I would recomend checking to make sure your headers aren't touching something causing a bit of false KR*. You would be best off having someone log your truck during a wide open run to about 100mph. I'd bet that if Charlie had your truck in person to tune you'd pick up alot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoke03 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 probably but hes in texas and im a pretty good little way away from him...I wish he could have had my truck hands on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 If you could meet someone at the track from the forum or something like that with a laptop a simple log would provide a ton of info for not only you, but your tuner (via e-mailing your log to him).

smoke03 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 creates another problem...nobody around here has the software to do it. Im probably going to have to make a road trip. What causes knock retard any way? (besides headers hitting?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Isn't KR when the gas explodes before the spark happens? Like the diesel that blows when compressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) creates another problem...nobody around here has the software to do it. Im probably going to have to make a road trip. What causes knock retard any way? (besides headers hitting?) heat, too much timing, poor fuel quality (octane), high compression. . . .all of these things can cause detonation, they need to all work togather Edited March 24, 2008 by 12'SROCK (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Isn't KR when the gas explodes before the spark happens? Like the diesel that blows when compressed. gas doesnt explode it burns. but yes when the fuel dentonates (autospark) it triggers the knock sensor volatge (KR) then pulls timing away to protect the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
