Blacktrailwagon Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I recently bought a 2000 Chevy Silverado with a whipple supercharger and this weekend i took it out to the track. First run i ran a 14.190 with 2.2 60' and a 101 mph. My second run was a 14.00 my 60' was 2.1 and i ran a 102 mph. I was not very happy because i know that the truck can run a 13 and it seems to me that the MPH is very high for that low of a time. Anyway tell me what you guys think?

SuperSport Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Your right about the MPH, that should put you closer to mid to low 13's. you must just be spinning them off the line to much. good times even though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 traction must be a issue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 traction or boost lag. not bad times though, any pictures of the truck? burnouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 What temp and pressure where ambient? 60' times don't seem very good, so I'd look at hook up / drive train issues. Do you log your runs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktrailwagon Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I thought that my MPH were high. I dont think that traction was a problem. I was running 26 inch m/t et streets. I think that the problem is in my converter. It only stalls at about 1,500 rpm which i think is very low. That was the first tiem at the trakc and it was about 90 degrees out and i only got 2 runs. I think htat next tiem out i will really get on it and bring those 60 foot times down because that is what is killing. By the way does anybody know where i can get a higher stalling converter for my truck? Anway thanks for all of the help and i will let you guys know the next time i get out to the track.

TurbochargedBerserker Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Some folks have experimented with a trail blazer TC from a 4.3 with good results (cheap path). Other than that, there are some good TCs out there for the truck but they run $750+. Tbyrne has a few varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 the 4.2 trailblazer converter would fix the 60' times by alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Depending on the temps, tune, and no stall will factor in less than stellar times. Get all three under control, and you will see much better times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustBBrent Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 the 4.2 trailblazer converter would fix the 60' times by alot. Or allow you to break things.... M Walls54 chip in here any time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 lol, his hp level is likely far from matts let alone how hard the trans shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Walls54 chip in here any time now. it wasn't the converter that broke the drum, the 600hp is what broke the drum. the converter held the power. in my opnion if you are looing for a cheap fix i would try the trailblazer converter. it stalls around 2300-2600 range. i plan on going with a higher stall 3000 if and when i can figure out a time to do the tranny because i am running on rebuilt 4l60e parts.
