2015 RCSB build
 
4 Attachment(s)
Just bought a 2015 and want to build the SS Chevrolet should have built in the beginning. Truck runs pretty good for stock that's never good enough. I'm gonna try to take it to the strip and get a baseline and then see what mods do to it. I already have a catback sitting in the floor but i'll wait to see what it runs bone stock.

filled with e85?

full tank of gas and only 255 mi range

Nice Truck!

formula53 04-08-2015 05:33 PM

no E85 yet it wasn't full yet about 485 to 500 mile range when full.

So your doing a 6.2L swap?

D3moN plz 04-09-2015 12:21 PM

nice...that the WT1? love the color. what gears did yours come with?

formula53 04-09-2015 07:32 PM

Yeah its a WT I got a few things like Bluetooth and back up camera that makes life easier. It has the 3.42 gears. The 31 inch tall tires don't help either. Have some 20's and 28 inch tall tires on the way that should help.

beastmode 04-09-2015 07:47 PM

Very nice truck, I'm digging the color

formula53 04-20-2015 08:58 PM

Been 2 weeks of getting rained out at test n tune. Getting impatient on modding this thing. Have cat back and airaid Jr sitting in the floor. Gonna wait one more week and then start wrenching on it.

weazleburger 04-21-2015 07:22 AM

I have the same truck but with 3.08 gears and ran consistently 14.7 bone stock

formula53 05-06-2015 10:05 AM

A little update on the truck. Installed Airaid Jr kit and removed 3rd cat and put on a 4inch in 3inch dual out cyclone muffler I will put up a sound clip or video once I get my tail pipes done in the morning. I couldn't tell much difference with airaid but the exhaust has uncorked this thing. lol

RoadKill03 05-06-2015 10:11 AM

What are your plans for it? Any ET in mind?

formula53 05-08-2015 06:10 PM

Plans are to build a fun truck. Something that Gm should have done to begin with. So far with airaid Jr and cat back I now have traction issues lol.

Been a while but here is a little update on the truck.Attachment 74465

Did a little color matching on the front end.
Attachment 74467
Also bought some 22" Denali wheels but saving up my pennies for the 5/7 drop. Thinking about putting some rally stripes on it too.

colekill 06-30-2015 01:25 PM

sound clip?

charlie_gonzales 08-07-2015 05:18 PM

Formula53 did you ever get around to installing the CK375 wheels on your truck. I'm interested to see how they will look on the new style trucks.

formula53 08-16-2015 12:37 PM

Sorry for the slow updates been side tracked building my shop/machineshop

Choda 08-25-2015 08:38 AM

Been super busy with a home based business and a full time job but here it is flip kit in the rear spindles and cut Springs in the front I'll get some better pictures after I wash this thing and the sun comes up lol.

Here is a pic in the daylight. Definitely have to build those traction bars next. Haha

Lil brother PI 12-13-2015 06:16 PM

Nice truck like the color

RoidedSS 12-24-2015 12:07 PM

what's the tire specs bud? looks good

formula53 12-24-2015 01:27 PM

265/35r22 front
295/30r22 rear

Now I wish I would have went with a little more sidewall but it rides ok and looks good to me.

Washed the beast today. Can't believe how many feelings have been hurt by this truck.

bigsapper 03-01-2016 02:11 AM

Nice! Love the color.

crxhybrid85 03-01-2016 04:32 AM

Do you have a tune on it or just the intake and exhaust? That dual outlet looks pretty sweet!

weazleburger 03-01-2016 06:58 AM

Truck looks great! Really like that color and the matching

formula53 03-03-2016 06:19 PM

I have a diablo trinity. I've been messing with it but I need to get lew to do me a tune.

I've got a couple more things I'm gonna paint and if you noticed in the picture when I put it back together the front bumper gap is crooked.

I've have made some traction bars for it like caltrac but I really like the exhaust. The wheel hop is pretty bad so i'll have to change it.

formula53 03-31-2016 02:03 PM

Weighed this pig the other day 4900 with me in it (275 lbs).
and that's with the hitch and spare removed.

Taternator 04-07-2016 10:02 PM

what size is your drop?

weazleburger 04-08-2016 06:52 AM

Looks like about 4/7

Nice Truck!

That would be depressing if that was on 93 lol

formula53 04-10-2016 10:30 AM

7 in the rear the place I bought my front springs from sent me springs for a 07-13 so I cut my factories. So I would say 4 in the front. About to install traction bars so I have to remove my helper springs so it will go down another half inch in the rear. I will take the front down another inch too.

If you did a flip kit taking the helper springs out wont lower it anymore.

formula53 04-11-2016 10:30 PM

That's right I was typing before I was thinking. I'm still gonna bring the front down a tad more though. lol

formula53 04-11-2016 10:36 PM

07softail Love your truck. I had a 07 black rcsb and was gonna get another black one until my wife stepped in lol. How do you like the 6.2 intake and tb swap. Was it worth it? What about the gear swap I've been thinking about 4.10 swap.

Thanks... It runs pretty good so I guess it was worth it and only took maybe an hour to do start to finish. I wound up getting a 9.76 rear with 3.73's in it and it really made a difference now I'm thinking a converter next. I also have a 6.2 engine with 5k miles on it so maybe a swap plus a Maggie on top of that will be in the works. Right now im trying to get the trans tune worked out and can't seamed to firm up shifts like I want.
