I picked this truck up a few months ago and I have been gradually
working on making it a little quicker. It's a '00 RCSB Silv. 5.3l. Bone
stock w/ open diff. and Pred. tune went a best of 15.15@ 89.9xmph.

So far I installed a tru trac(left stock 3.42's), LT's, an '01 LS6 cam
w/ '02+ springs, and tuned by me w/ HP tuners. At my current
race weight of 4250# w/ driver I've gone 14.14@ 96.9x 1/4, 9.19@
79.8x 1/8, 60' 2.20.

Do these times seem pretty in line with you guys? I know I've got to
get my 60' time down, so a converter is next on my list. Right now I'm
not spinning at all, so my 60' is mainly from the stock 'verter and 3.42's.

Any pointers would be appreciated!

I think they're pretty good. Heck, get that stall in and you'll should be able to hit 13's.

Makes me jealous...

Other than the obvious tranny shift kit, servo and stall nott sure what else you could do that wouldn't be too radical.

 

dang good times! Once i get to the track and see what i really run is determining on what i choose to go with as far as cam choice, and stall.

 

Thanks guys!

Since it is my DD, I don't want to go too extreme on converter selection, I'm really
looking at a TT2600 or 3000 from yank. I know they run a little tight, and I think
that's what I want. I figure either one should at least get me a 1.9x 60' on street
tires, putting me around a 13.7-.8. Once there, I may look at a little "juice" to get
me in the 12's when need be.

 

See, I was going to say juice and a BIG stall, but not on the DD, especially with the SS/LS6 running low 13's. Thought that would fulfill your need for speed!

 

When is it ever really fast enough? The SS should easily go 12's now that I got a few kinks
worked out. Plus, I really need a set of slicks for it to hook like it should!

 

yeah good idea on the TT series as i have to watch it as its my DD also. I think i want the 3000 over the 2600. Being a DD i'd say Yank has the advantage of being a "tight" converter
