j4nash Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 What would you recommend to help make the ss faster in the quarter mile? I would like to see the quarter mile times in the mid 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcswain Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I am not a mod expert at all, but to shave almost 3 seconds off the stock SS 1/4 mile times will take alot of MONEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I don't have an SS yet, but I do have a 12 second silverado excab Z71 with a 5.3, which weighs about the same. Here is what you'd need to keep it plenty streetable and reliable as a daily driver yet have plenty of power: Headers / Exhaust Intake Yank truck 3000 torque converter 125-150 shot of nitrous LS1 edit Maybe a mild cam to extend the power curve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4nash Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Wouldn’t a supercharger be better than a 125-150 shot of nitrous? What about using a ATI Procharger with a intercooler. the torque converter on the ss is it good or does it need to be changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

555cic4 Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 What would you recommend to help make the ss faster in the quarter mile? I would like to see the quarter mile times in the mid 12. I would start with the 550hp setup from Lingenfelter http://www.lingenfelter.com/pac6ltmagsc.asp . They ran a 13.3's in a GMC C3 with only 475hp and is has a 2yr/24k warranty. Here's the Car and Driver article: http://caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/fe...enfelter&page=2. 550hp in a 5200lbs vehicle should run 12.8s.

j4nash Posted May 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I figure that if you add a electric fan, air intake with ram air scoop, mass air sensor, jet chip, full exhaust system, Magnacharger Radix, high flow Throttle Body, and tornado air insert you would be abele to get the SS to at least 672 hp at the wheels for only about $8000. Also your 1/4 mile times would be around 13 more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
variant Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 and tornado air insert why not enlarge the throttle body and run 2 of them! I hear that is good for an extra 100HP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
