How can you have such a strong engine (the LS1), cost so much ($23-$30k), yet run such crappy 1/4 miles times? I figured the 30k LS1 trucks should at least run high 13s/low 14s stock...

 

Well Terry i ask the same questions. Except i only paid 23k for mine. But when i have thirty in it, it will run mid twelves or faster...Hopefully...lol Got a good line on a new motor sety up for my truck thanks for the reply's the other day...

Aww, $hit! The Sonoma has turned him into a monster. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I think the trucks run what they do because they don't weigh 3300#'s <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Technically, they don't have LS1's either. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

I thought the 4.8/5.3 were mini LS1's and the 6.0 was a monster LS1?

It's kinda funny to me that everyone rips on my Sonoma yet the other GMC trucks are all POS. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

i would like to see a ford or dodge truck try to beat us. ford had to put a supercharger on their truck to beat us. put that same type of stuff in our trucks and see who wins.

There is a breakdown of the designations for each discplacement somewhere in this forum. Its in the post where I got corrected for calling a 5.3 a LS1. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Terry,

How dumb can you get?

Stock LS1, 5.7, 346 ci, 300rwhp, ~3700# = mid 13's stock

Stock reg cab truck, 5.3, 325 ci, 250rwhp, ~4500# = low 15's

Lets not forget areodynamics, spinning wheels, extended cabs, 4x4's, and whatever else I can think of.

Get the facts. Oh yea, you are an expert, you got a Sonoma that runs 10.5 or something in the 1/8. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

 

My stock $12k Sonoma runs mid 16s. The stock $23-30k GMC trucks are running mid-high 15s. The "bolt on" LS1 trucks are running high 14s-low 15s. Its pretty pathetic in my book. I challenge you to find someone that thinks 15.74@81 is quick for a stock LS1 powered truck. I bet there are plenty of them running 16s too… <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

PS. FAST 4.8 I think your name is false advertising. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

Please people "Do not feed Terry" He thrives on confrontation. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You see his avatar don't you. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Terry - The stuff you say really doesn't bother me. I actually get a kick out of alot of the stuff but, why do you have to bust everyones ***** all the time? Bored at work? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
