Sell me the exhaust, Ill even pull it off for you and install whatever catback you want at SAR, oh and congrats on the new truck

What all do you plan on doing to this one till you throw the twin turbos on it like you were talking about? Just skip all the little stuff and go for the gold right off the bat I really like that color too

Wish it were ME picking up my new '11 . . .

I'm waiting 'til 2013 for the NNNBS trucks. Hope I'm not making a HUGE mistake.
I wouldn't get my hopes up...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the congratulations a lot.

For a brand new truck my plans are going to be pretty radical by most people standards, but of course because of time and money its going to be done in stages, eventually ended up with a LSXish motor with Twin Turbos, roll cage, linked suspension, etc, etc.

It will be a few years before all that occurs, so basically the 6.2 will see some upgrades and eventually some mid sized twins, etc.

No rush on any of it, it will begin next week or the week after with a tune, cat delete, muffler swap, tstat, some weight reduction, drag radials...just some basic stuff for a little bit.

Then it will see a trutrac, stall, and cam. Then some intial traction aides and suspension work. Then a little progessive nitrous will be added to keep it fun while I save the rest of the money and the twin turbo set up is completed.

Get the twin turbo set up installed on the 6.2 and see where we are at, roll cage and linked suspension be done during this phase, tubbed out bed, etc.

Then I will run the ever loving **** out of this set up while I save and build the lsxish motor and new twin turbo set up.

When I say I, it really means Nelson they will be handling it.

I'm leaving out a lot of steps, etc but you get the general idea.


Okay so here we go I have some info to report on stock times, got in some runs today.

I logged 31 runs, weather was great except there was 10 to 15 mph head wind most of the day.

Best run of the day is listed below.

2011 ECSB 6.2L 2WD - 14.41 @ 94.73

Wow nice run. Does your truck have 3.42s or 3.73s?
