Default simple 2018 Black Edition

Thanks for the add. My first truck, should of picked one up a long time ago.. 2018 Black edition, 5.3 e85

I am the type that can't leave anything alone. Keeping it clean with simple modifications. I'm not really looking to do anything big at this point, just to improve my track times and have fun. Best run to date was a 14.5 @ 96mph. I don't expect to go any faster so improving the 60ft is my goal. I will add as it moves along. Thanks for viewing.


Currently the truck has:
-Diablo sport i3
-catback
-intake tube w/ k&n drop in

Get rid of the diablo and get a custom tune. If you want to drop your 60’ do yourself a favor and put a converter in it

Added HpTuners to the mix, tune from a local shop. The shifting was improved and made my best pass to date, 13.6 @ 99mph.

Thanks. Long tubes is about all that’s left for a bit. Recently put on traction bars, curious how it feels now. Has been on e85 since new. The truck isn’t my dd so I don’t mind the lower mpg. As it sits the truck made 332whp

Nice man. Truck is running good! Mine runs a lot better on E85. Might throw a little bit in the tank today actually. Lol

Very nice showing him how that truck runs! Guess the Camaro's hood scoop was too small to get the job done lol.

Haha. Yeah I was thinking the same when he didn’t pass me at 300ft like most cars. Plan is to go with a nitrous outlet kit to be a little more competitive at the track. Sticking with the factory converter for a while, the truck is for towing my other car and to have a little fun. For me it doesn’t make sense right now. 12.6 is the goal
