Tested out the new stall and the front coil overs. So far I got to do two passes and first was 11.29 7.16 1/8 with 1.51 60. Did some changes and made another pass 11.12 7.01 1/8 1.48 60's on this run is when I leaked tranny oil and let off right before I finished the 1/4. So far it's showing improvements and still need to tweek it some more. This has been my best 1/8 mile so far and if only i would of had a clean run but oh well, **** happens for a reason. I lobe this front QA1 setup. Happy with the outcome so far.

Do you mind sharing info on the front coil over conversion? Mines not 60fting worth a crap with 408turbo and 4 link but front suspension is stock. I've been told by a few that I need to change it.

Good deal! Sounds to me just a little tweaking of the setup and some good air you will not just break 10s but have that 10.80 your looking for. Heck maybe better with a low DA, if you can get traction.

DBRods does conversion kits for 99-07

Coilovers for NBS Silverados

I just had the chassis shop setup mine. Any good chassis shock should be able to tackle that.

I did a few things to knock of weight from the front like replacing my front brake system to Wilwood. That alone was a big difference. The other thins was this kit I got from QA1 and its a direct bolt on kit. No modifications needed. I used a 550# spring on mine and it worked beautiful. Have ou scaled your truck? If you have, PM me the front and rear weight of your truck and I can tell you what spring to go with. This coil over kit complete costed me $610 from summit. I can send you the part number if you like.
