As you can see in my sig, my "next project" is going in next week!
2800-3000 PI Stall
Built 4L65
Shift Kit
Trans Cooler
Tweak the Tune

I can't wait to feel the difference!

My first run at the track was 14.3 @ 100 mph. That's with a best of 2.4 60' . So the stall will for sure make a HUGE difference. It's also shifting at 5400rpm intead of about 6000. Trans is also slipping, bad. I may run another pound of boost and lean it up more as well (it's at 10.9 A/F right now on the Meth). I should be near the 500hp/550tq mark at the wheels.

Any guesses on where my 1/4 ET and Trap Speed will be?

I'll take the first stab at a guess:
13.6 @ 104

 

I'm gonna say 13.0 if you can boost off the line and keep the front from bouncing. There is no reason why you can't get at least a 2.0 launching on boost. That would be good for almost a full second right there. I was getting 2.1 60's on 3psi launches and 1.80 60's on 6-7psi launches, well till the tranny started slipping anyway..

 

Hmmm, very good point on launching with some boost. I am seeing a max of 2psi right now if I stall it up (~2000rpm). Where do you think it will be at ~3000rpm? 5psi? My max is set to 9psi right now on the Meth.

Just don't say 13.0 because then I'll head out there and get disappointed!

 

Just shoot for a 13 something and you'll be happy. LOL

Make sure the truck is warmed up and the turbo hot otherwise it's much harder to build boost at the line. IMO just get staged and imediately mash the brake and the gas at the same time and see how far boost builds. If it goes over 7psi then let off some but I doubt it will.

I don't have enough time to build boost once staged so what i do is trip the first amber then mash the brake and gas and once I get over 5psi I lightly lift off the brake enough to inch forward and trip the 2nd amber the press on the brake again till I see the lights go down. Watch a couple of my 12sec videos and you'll see what I mean. You'll see me start building boost then inch forward.

 

My brother is getting around 2.05 launches with his 03 SSS with cam/longtubes and 3k stall so i guarantee you will get around 1.9 if you have some boost. Good luck at the track!

 

And by the way........what's up with your sig? "Old times with the STS"??

 

I'll say it 12.99 @ 106. Let me know when you head out to Firebird. I need to go set a new best too.

Nice to meet you the other day, hope the Avalon turned out well.

 

Come on now, 12.99 at Firebird? Is that even possible?
I'm hoping it will be done by next Friday. If so, I'll head down then.

And definitely, great meeting you as well!! Yes, my wife is loving the "Realtor mobile"!

Shoot me a PM and I'll do the same about heading out to Firebird.

 

Im guessing 13.8@100

 

The STS is no longer. LOL

I took it off the big truck and am doing a full N/A 5.3L setup on it. I'll be selling the turbo for a custom setup on the grey truck. I need to step up to the big leagues and my current system won't handle it. It's ok though. I carried the otrch long enough. Now you guys can pick up where I stopped. Carry the flag brother!
