not a clue about your 1/4 mile time, but i will also be at silver lake this month but not with my truck. i will be there the 3rd weekend, if your up there at that time and you happen to see a blue 01 sierra ECSB Z71 with a P.O.R.N. sticker in the back window i will most likely be in it.

got any pics of your truck?

With 4.88 gears I would think you would be able to do pretty good especially with only 35's. My truck does ok with just nelson tune, 4.10's and 35's. I definately think more mid-high 15's vs 17's b/c your gear ratio is actually lower than stock.

I agree, mid to high 15's. Those tires kill ya and the lack of headers.

My official guess? 15.7

i think the high 15s to low16s is about right just wonderd what everybody thought.i cant get over how much better it runs with the nelson+transgo and no tm its night and day over the hpp3. i can burn both goodyears on the right roads never did that before.a buddy of mine put in a whipple in his avalance with 33" tires and he still cant burnem i took him for a ride he is going to call nelson tomarow.mines more for off road anyway what do you guys think about a yank 2800 to much heat for the tranny off road or just right?
