Default guess the time, 2500 bruban 8.1L

Im heading out to the track tonight, figure all other stuff is broken so i might as well run the old beast.

its a 2001 2500 suburban 4x4 3:73 gears, 8.1L 4L80E trans... Im about out of gas so the 39 gallons will not slow it down. Its a 100% stock, even the original coolent, plugs and plug wires.. has 107,000 miles on it.

Ill be luck to get high 17's im guessing... but what does everyone think.

LOL... tell me about it, sometime you get supprised.. i never dreamed the wifes 4x4 armada would run in the 15's. Slow but it will hold off most modified honda

The game plan is to get stock runs... then ad parts... see if it helps out any. I might have to hit you up on a fogger kit.

lol... its slow... 17.6 ever pass..

I think the converter or trans might be starting to die... it was doing some strange stuff.

They also had a dyno there. 235 whp and 311wtq... those numbers seem strange if you try to figure out the precentage of drive train loss. i think the 8.1L had 320hp and 455lbtq.. so im loosing 85 hp and 144 lbtq threw that 4L80E...

Yea it slow.. the wifes freaking Datsun will kill it...
