yeah and since when a rcsb weighs 5000 lbs.

 

Hey i said that already damnit!!!!! HAHA JFWY.

 

Look at the weight difference between your 3900lb 2wd and his truck.

However I will say that I am confused by his first post. "2005 rcsb sierra with a 5.3 and 4l65e trani. oh and 373 gears" There's a whole bunch of mess here that doesn't follow GM's spec sheet as to what they put into certain vehicles. 4L65's were dished out to Sierra Denali only, unless by custom order. Typically the 4L65's were mated with 4.10's and 4wd also, making him a 4700lb truck, 5000 after fueled up and someone driving. He said 4L65 and 3.73's, so something's not right here. I'm assuming he is driving a 4wd truck which makes mid 12's and even 13's a challenge N/A. If he does have a 2wd then 13's are easier obviously due to the weight loss.

 

4wd or not 12's are alot easier than you think is all i can tell ya.
For the record just cause gm says it should weigh XXX amount does not mean it does.
My rcsb truck weighs in at 3850 no driver. You trying to tell me the extra junk of a 4wd adds almost 1k in weight?
Again your wrong simple as that bud.
Also for the record my ECSB with me in it weighs 5170lbs.

 

well your right my truck is 4wd but i know that i have a 65e and 373 gears, my fathers truck is the same except ecsb so im not sure that its just denalis that can have this set up.


i plan on using patriot heads with the TR220 that i see suggested alot. im going to keep my stock 373's at least for now. the 3k stall seemed like it was pretty popular and a good choice for the cam, is a 3200 or 3600 stall still going to make an ok DD? i usually only drive local most times well below even 100 miles a week.

 

4wd adds about 450-500lbs, and a Denali package adds even more. Yes, I am telling you a rcsb Sierra Denali with 4wd will weigh about 700-800lbs more than a 2wd rcsb. I said he's a 5000lb truck after fuel and driver. If you don't believe me, go weigh them yourself.

 

Yeah you can DDa 3200 or a 3600 honestly.
I have a 3200 in my ecsb and it's very doable. Normaly take offs are abour 1800-2000 rpms and honestly once you have had it for about a week or two you don't notice the increase rpms to take off anymore.
My buddy i work with has a TT3000 and if it's any better for streetablity at all it's almost unmeasurable. He takes off at 1800-2100 all the time.
Also another member on here and he posted in this thread...
BlueCajun has a 3600 in his and he drives it all the time, i drove my friends truck Derek@edo he has a 3600 and it's maybe a 100rpm differance between my 3200 vs his 3600 for DD driving.
Basically if you give a stall a chance and allow yourself to get used to the peddle needed to get up and moving the stall won't even faze you.

For the record i run a Yank PT3200 in my ecsb right now and i'm goin to install a Yank 4000 in my rcsb.

 

with a h/c combo and the correct supporting mods, it shouldnt be a problem seeing high12's/low 13's. there are a lot of cam only rcsb 2wd trucks in the mid to high 12's.

look at touchofevil's sig. his rcsb with stock cam and converter runs 13.7's.

 

are the 8.1 injectors direct plug ins or do i have to wire in new connectors? i figure its worth doing hardned push rods and a double timeing chain while im in there but is it worth spending the extra couple hundred on roller rockers?

 

I DD a considerably larger cam/converter/gear combo with no issues whatsoever... and still tow some with it.

Yank SS3600/Custom 224/227 cam and 4.10's

in an ECSB...

now, granted, my truck weighs considerably less on track day but if you catch me on the street, I'll likely be anywhere from 4500-4750... depending on if I have cleaned the **** out of my truck that month or not

Inch-Up... your info is incorrect... plain and simple

my truck has seen 13.3's and 4's with 2.2 and higher 60' times... I have no doubt you can run 12's in your RC truck...
