5.3 with sts 67
#71
Thanks guys, Bone Stock but with 20's, best 1/8 et was 10.392, best mph a lousy 67.82 out of 3 runs in 62 degree weather. After 1st mods, 9.545@76.12, @82 deg. Wa wa wa. After 4.10's 8.902@79.95, 89deg. Commonly accepted conversion for 1/8 to 1/4 time is multiply by 1.56 or 1/4 to 1/8 is divide by 1.56. Depending on vehicle, it can be from 1.54 to 1.58 generally. Mph is usually 80% or 1.25 multiplier for other conversion. I understand the 20's hurt me but their just toooo pretty baby!

Well, we got the boost raised and the 9.5" Vig in today. Added a little fuel and holy crap,
it hauls ***. Even the front tires are breaking loose. (its 4x4). Didnt make it to the dyno. Had a little mishap with the oil return pump. Getting another pump tomorrow, then to the dyno.
Should be easy low 8's 1/8th mile. He is also getting better gas mileage too.
Should have some numbers tomorrow.

Congrats and can't wait to hear of the results!

Yea its tough waiting on it but it gave me an excuse to give the Vette a little much needed exercise...gotta keep the battery up hehe. Getting better mileage on the truck was a welcome surprise after changing to the 4.10's and getting on it MUCH more than I EVER did before the turbo. I'm really looking forward to this. Just what I wanted!

Well all I can say is this sombitch HAULS ***. I got it back this afternoon a little late to hit the track (too damn hot antway) but I still had to check it out a few times at different speeds. It pulls much harder than I expected. I take off in 2wd and its ok if I leave w/o boost but at about 20-25mph it starts blowin' the tires off (275/55/20's). Thats on ANY street with excellent traction, doesn't matter. Rode with Dustin for a test drive this afternoon and it was so funny, it was breakin' the front tires loose to 55mph. So I will just have to leave it in AutoTrac all the time now...not a problem. Converter is a little loose and will take a short learning curve to drive it effectively on the street, but I got exactly what I asked for. Don't see it as a problem though. Flash stall is about 2600, maybe 2800 with the 9 1/2" PI. I haven't brake stalled it yet... want to get used to it and not break a u-joint or worse. My impression is that in a drag race out of the hole in 4H it has at least a good chance to now take the Vette. At higher speeds the ZO6 just doesn't catch any air, so it would be hard. We'll see in a few days. Forgive me but I didn't even look at how much boost yet, I was payin' attention to where to point this thing. Have to hand it to Billy and Dustin and crew at trtturbo...great guys to work with and a real class act. Highly recommended! More soon.

Well it's official...my truck will kill my '02 ZO6 by .2 sec. at least in the 1/8th. In same type of weather 2 years ago and 4 degrees cooler, it ran 8.424@87.17.This afternoon I went to Kennedale with rain on the horizon. Hot lapped 4 times in only 15 MINUTES! The truck WON'T hook in 4hi, it is all over the place with the 275/55/20's. In spite of the front tires jerking from left to right and back several times with tires unloaded and spinning I got an 8.21. The 4l60e seemed to love it so far. Dustin actually added fuel earlier just for safety. About 10.8 afr in 1st & 2nd and 11.1 or so in 3rd I think. Billy has been more than fair with over the top service. Didn't even charge me to change the converter 2nd time. Great folks to deal with...can't say enough good about trtturbo experience. Sorry, don't mean to sound like a commercial...just a good experience!
60ft....1.845
330.....5.324@65.19
1/8th...8.211@83.78
best mph@83.92 after getting out of it for a second due to front tire traction.
91 degrees
29.91 press.

Anybody know how to make this front end hook and keep it streetable for DD?

truck picked up about 20mph in the 1/8th over stock.
I think in cooler weather and with Ted getting used to it and learning what works best for the truck, it has 7.9's in it.
