I dropped almost half a second and gained 4mph JUST from tuning alone on my bone-frkn-stock motor! I'll scan the slip up tomorrow since I need to go to bed but my previous was a 15.6 @ 86mph and I ran 15.2 @ 90mph in 10 degree hotter weather with a crappy 2.3 60ft! Definitely a high 14 sec. truck in cooler weather.


I raced a Silverado SS AWD w/ exhaust, intake, tune and some other small bolt ons and barely lost...I was so happy. I also murdered him up to around the 1/8th mile. I'll post up the vid in a minute.

 

Congrats man that's good to hear... Mabey we could get some runs in

 

Sweet what truck do you have again. All the pictures are blocked at work.

 

Awesome numbers.

 

Thanks fellas

Korax- I have an 06 single cab short bed silverado w/ the 5.3L LM7.

 

damm tofu u still breaking records man.

 

Lol, nah not breaking records...but I am pleasantly surprised with how well the motor responded to the tune while it's stock. I can't wait to see how she responds once the bolt-ons go on. *evil laugh*

 

Right on, Tofu will mod ANYTHING!!!

 

Nice to see ur havin fun with the truck man .... next mod ..put a HD T-56 in that biooooooooootch

 

.....hey btw , my buddy darren jus moved out to houston . If you ever see tired old looking red 91 stang GT , that looks stock with cervini's hood , down to the pony wheels even ....make an attempt to watch it . The car is insane ....145+ mph in the 1/4 with big honkin single turbo

 

greta stuff to hear...

 

get it going tofu........theres alot of hidden hp! Hypertech claims 31+ ft. lbs. of torque gain. It also clears codes. You could pick on up for 400 maybe even cheaper on ebay!

 

p/n knn-57-3013-1 for your k/n intake. Keep us updated on your times!

 

Sweet. I knew you couldn't stay away from the track!

 

I was actually thinking about that! There are quite a few people who have done it and man it's an awesome set up. Less drivetrain loss and a 6-speed truck too *drool*. Plus the area you cut out for the shifter is a perfect location as far as distance and what not. I think the hardest thing is deleting the column shifter and installing the clutch pedal and misc. crap that goes along with it.

BTW, has your buddy gone to the track at all? I swear I saw one that matches that description at the track but I didn't get to see him run.

 

Thanks for the info, yeah I was looking into the hand held tuners like hypertech and predator, but ended up opting for SCT because you can modify almost anything in the PCM. These trucks are so damned de-tuned from the factory it's nuts. I mean 4mph and .4 tenths difference just from tuning alone on a bone stock motor is crazy...you should see what the 6.0l guys get. Nelson Performance tuned a 6.0l LQ9 a few months ago, just with tuning and a mild cam the truck gained 80hp at the flywheel.

 

If you're going to do a tranny swap just get a 4L80E out of a 2500 or 3500. It is the new TH400. They are indestructable. There is a wiring harness modification that needs to be done because one has 2 plugs and one has 1. I can't remember which is which. It also may not be an issue an more if they have changed things. Search Google for big blue truck, or big slow truck or something like that. The guy has a pretty good right up.

 

Awsome Tofu...I was actually thinking about taking my truck to the track this week and seeing what she can do... You make me want to get my truck tuned now! (I''l post some times if I make it out there)...

Just to let you know, having a manual in that truck is one helluva shift compared to the cobalt...it is like a body shift rather than a wrist...keep it up!

 

Yeah the 4L80-E is a monster of a transmission from the factory. With a shift-kit alone it can handle more power than a fully built 4L60-E. The only problem is it's a costly upgrade. You have to get the wiring harness from Speartech, but you also have to shorten the driveshaft and also modify (gusset and lengthen) the cross-member. The swap is definitely worth it if you are pushing a lot of power though. The only downside to the 80-E is it's first gear is much longer than the 60-E...but if you're pushing 600+ rwhp that isn't much of a problem lol.

 

.....plus bangin gears jus makes the day more fun He has been out there , his last time out though I lifted a head , I think he only got 1 pass .
