Have a 2008 GMC Canyon Extended Cab
3.7L I5
4L60E
3.73 non locking
stock 225 tires

last night I ran it at the track with 1900 miles on it.

stock:
15.64 @ 87.77
2.36 60 ft


after some 93 octane tuning:
15.32 @ 89.39
2.31 60 ft

its all stock besides the tuning. race weight was 3770 w/me.

immediate plans:
vette servo
more tuning
efan
gut manifold cat (worth 10 hp @ wheels)
eventually some drag radials

 

Damn not bad at all for almost 4000lbs. How was traction?

congrats on the new best

 

fine on the stock tune, not so much after I made changes. I have some traction springs I need to install because too much throttle gave me some nasty wheel hop.

 

man that is great for that truck keep us post on whan the out comes are with each mod

 

I had a 04 Canyon for about 5 months. I ended up and had to lemon-law it, mine was a major POS. I had the 5cyl with 5spd. It was decently quick in first and second gear, but once into 3rd it was about all it could do to hold it's momentum.LOL That truck had the absolute worse case of wheel hop I've ever seen. I honestly think the rear tires were coming completely off the ground during a burnout.

 

a major pos of **** as he dusts the tires off

 

i had a 5-spd 4 cylinder colorado before this. It was way worse with wheel hop than this one is. But some autozone helper springs fixed that for $25!

 

Your easy to please. As long as it can do a burnout it must be a good vehicle..

 

When did they change to a 3.7l? Mine was a 3.5.

 

'07 they made the bore larger on both engines. Then they made the head flow more, hotter cams...etc

it went from 220 to 242 hp but in reality it was probably more because they did the SAE certification at the same time.
