So I raced this guy in a (1999-2005 style) white reg cab long box 1500, i thought it would be the normal he thinks he is fast and i blow him away, but noooooo 2 times on the highway this guy pulled 1-2 cars on me! WTF?

i couldnt see any exhaust pipes on this thing (maybe opean headers?)
It was a 2wd
lowered on looked to be 20's
nothing looked too different

When he opened that thing up next to me it sounded ******* retarded and the power was unbelivable!

P.S my mods are stage II 2.9 GMPP Performance Cat-Back and Airbox Mod

any ideas what the hell was in that thing? any common swaps/builds?

It could have anything done to it...

My buddy has a short box '02... daily driver... looks stock... run's mid 12's... beastly!

Remember, the small block in those trucks are just a steel version of an LS1 block.

procharged, if 2wd was only 4.3L or 5.3L, might have a 5.7L too.

Maybe one of these?? I have one on my 6500LB AWD '03 Silverado SS and trucks equipped like mine run in the low to mid 13"s

Joo forgot the 4.8L

These motors are baby LS1's. They have great cylinder heads on them, but horrible pistons and a baby cam. You can tear the motor apart and put in a cam and pistons and shoot out about 80rwhp gain and still sound mostly stock. You take that ~9:1 compression and bump it up to 10.5 or 11:1. and rock that thing with a good LS1 aftermarket cam. Then headers and intake. Realistically you can make 370rwhp with that type of setup.

And if you boost that thing, it's already got a great stock compression ratio for boosting. But you normally hear a procharger.

They have a 6.0L in the SS silverados most 4x4 has 5.7 or 5.3 i think

OverbooSSt

didnt hear any boost at all, just sounded like a monster when he opened up next to me, sounded like a vette or something like no sloppy sound at all just smooth and fast firing...

The took the 5.7L out a long time ago. That's old school silverados.

torq per weight is higher on the truck?
just a guess prolly after 140 you can start gaining speed =p

gbu27

there are alot of those here putting ls7's in their truck... saw 3 at the track last week with them

5.3 on the newer chevys is like 325 hp and 300 torque. 2 wheel drive makes the gears taller and the truck lighter. Those silverados are just bad sometimes man.

Frankruffolo257

bullshit! stock runs 12s. thats not even realistic. ****, the viper truck doesnt even run that, maybe in the eight mile.

my 2005 dodge ram 1500 single cab short box ran a 15.6 stock, 15.3 with cold air, and i will be running it beginning of april with the exhaust.
5.7L hemi
345 hp
390ft lbs torque

everytime I hear about a fast silverado I right away think of parish's turbo silverado from 1320 video

He said it LOOKS stock. Not that it is stock

Frankruffolo257

SORRY!!!!!!

It could have been an debadged SS on spray. There was a guy at the track last year with an 06 SS 2WD with just 100running high 12s. I almost **** my pants when I saw him rip off that time.

It doesn't take much to make a Chevy SB fast. A good cam a good set of heads and they become nasty quick.

Last time I was at the strip a 1500(same body style as in the OP) pulled up, drivin by what looked to be a late 60 year old guy, sounding stock, I noticed he has drag slicks on the back and track bars... He did a burnout, still sounded stock. Staged then I saw him lean forward and hit something between the seats. I immediately thought my ears were gonna explode, He had electric header cutouts... Needless to say he ran a 9.8 1/4

That's funny how this came up, just last week at the local BP here in my town there was a blue 2wd silverado with wheels, and what looked like 3 gauges on the a-pillar. Sounded pretty good when he fired it up. He kept looking at me(had his mom in the truck with him) and pulled out and goosed it, and I could've sworn it sounded blown. Who knows man, who knows...

Well i found out what was in it... and i dont feel so bad now. I failed to see the massive intercooler in the front of the thing. Hes got a big turbo in that thing.

Hes also got a BOV now...
