NEW PB Coming soon for my silverado - 100 shot
#1
I have previsouly ran my truck a few times and the best it's been is a 10.16 in the 1/8th. I dont recall the mph.
"Race" specs are as follows: '01 ECSB, 5.3L (277,000 miles) no weight reduction, lowered, stock tires and rims(bald tires), z28 fans, CAI, air-gap mod, force muffler with outlet cut off.
I also ran a 10.30 with my 20's.
Anyways, Ive been called out for a race against a F150 ECSB with a programmer, 20's, and whatever else. Ive heard it was nothing special and it should be a good Chevy vs. Ford match for kicks and giggles....
BUT...if he pulls anything silly im gonna have a little equalizer on hand and I will then get my new PB.
A dry 100 shot should give it a little kick im guessing...looking for a 9.30 or better before Friday nights end.

yeah I know my truck isnt running fast or anything like that but I can say it surprised me for what it is. All these other stock trucks running 10.70 + and I would be all over a 10.00 if It wasnt spinning.

well I shouldnt list it on the list but i was basically stating that there isnt much done to my truck.
Just to state ahead of time. I dont believe these mods make a big difference or anything but each little thing helps when you arent able to buy aftermarket parts.

3. "Air Gap Manifold"- Locatedunderneath the throttle body,under the intake manifold and above the lifter valley,there is a little insulating pad that helps cold starting and warmup. In environments were this is not needed, it can be removed, it's your decision. Just unhook your intake hose from the throttle body, move it up and out of the way, and you'll see it. On the back side of your engine, there is another one. Just climb up there, reach around, and pull it out. This one won't come out as easily, but it's still not too hard. Next, remove your engine cover from the top of your engine. There is about 3/8" of insulation on the underside that is good for cold weather, but that's it. These can comeoff andgo backon andgo in and outany time you want.The cover has a bolt on the top and little clips on the back. Money saved- N/A, to the best of my knowledge, nobody makes an Air Gap manifold for the LS1 series engine.
I also did the following:
2. "Mass Air Flow Sensor ScreenRemoval"- To do this, you just loosen the clamps around the sensor with a flathead screwdriver, slide the tube to the side and then remove the sensor from the airbox. CAREFULLY unclip and remove theconnection. With the sensor screen side down, VERY CAREFULLY push the screen out with the end of something (Craftsman ratchet handle works well), MAKE SUE YOU DO NOT HIT THE SENSOR WIRES!!! People have seenunfavorable results from this modification by hitting the sensor wires!!!Put it back together and be sure to securely fasten the connection and air tube. Money saved- $300-compared to an aftermarket MAF sensor.
4. "Throttle Body Coolant Bypass"- On the bottom side of your throttle body, there are two hoses. These hoses bring hot coolant through your throttle body and like the pads, assist in cold weather startup. Do you realize how much better your truck runs when it's cold, (temp gauge at or below 160)? When it gets warmed up, (gauge at 205-210), throttle resonse is greatly reduced. This mod wiil let you have that throttle response all the time.This mod DOES COST YOU ABOUT TEN DOLLARS. All you need is a 12" piece of steel brakeline, (I forget the size, but I remember it was two from the smallest this Auto Zone had.I've got the tag somewhere, though. If you need to know, just send me a message!!!), and two clamps that fit on those hoses (less than 1" diameter). Get the screw kind. Make

U will need tires to take advantage of the torque the juice is gonna give you. If u don't have tires, roll out first then hit the button. I went last Sunday and cut a 1.79 on dr's and a 2.0 on street tires. I think they figured out how to make the track hook. In the 7's now, woohoo! Good luck man!

Nice numbers man.
I know it wont hold it from the tree so I was gonna see what it would do after 60'. I dont think I will have anything else to put out back by tonight so I will have to roll out first. Ill play with it and see what i can get out of it. Ill post up the results monday.

Have you got tuned yet? Your times are about right friend of mine got a 03 GMC ex cab with 5.3l, flowmasters, CAI, and 87 oct. tune with 3:42 gears and he ran 10:0's in Douglas.
I believe you will run 9:4-9:5's on 100 shot with traction issues.

Hopefully it will go a 9.50, thats should be fun. Slow but funner than a 10.16
