well that is good to hear if it is true. i might be lighter than what i mentioned. i thought some other guys on here with EC Z71's are weighing 5400lbs too?

i was figuring with me in it (162lbs, matter of fact i weighed myself yesterday) , some gas, and my sub box, and bedliner. i programmed 5400lbs into my g-tech just to see the TQ and RWHP. those #'s are all over the place which i figured would happen on a tool like that. i was just curious what #'s it would spit out

I weigh mine everytime I go to the track now. With no spare, no back seat, no tailgate and 1/4 tank of gas I am about 4700lbs. I still have about 60lbs worth of stereo stuff in it that I can't take out.

Unless my truck is different or the other guys are guessing then you should be just over 5000lbs at worse.

*edit* Didn't see your last post. With a bunch of junk and yourself in it then yeah, you can easily get up there. My 4700lb race weight it without me in it. But I only weigh 160lbs so I almost don't count hahaha

I do notice a difference.

On a bathroom scale (which is about the same as every other scale I weigh myself on) i get the following:

Spare 265/75/16 = 54-56lbs
Tailgate = 45lbs
Rear seat (cloth) = 65lbs
Subs+boxs = 90lbs (Eclipse Aluminum and vantage boxes)

Total weigh shaved for race day = 254lbs

That should be good for almost 2 10ths

On 2wd trucks though this could be problematic because you will notice a big difference in traction. I launch in 4wd Hi so it's no biggy for me.

Thx mate.

But I believe I am still behind some of the other guys on here so I took the cam out (the one used on that run) and went bigger. I used my G-Timer the other night and with my full weight 5100lbs or so I still trapped 94.3mph. Before the newest cam I could never trap more than 92mph or 93 if I was in race trim. So even without tuning I feel confident I can trap 94-95mph at the track.

Now Imagine if I started off with a regular cab like 01Tahoetwinscrew! Nice truck you got there mate.

Here is the breakdown of my 15.21 run....I was mistaken on the mph in the first post.
60'-2.218
330'-6.298
1/8-9.718@72.31
1000'-12.664
1/4-15.213@87.89

I have no idea why I put 87.4 in the topic.
