i just filled up the tank and was weighed down like a ****.

full tank of gas, golf clubs, 27" television in the bed, and all my other usual stuff like the subs and box etc. (im a brick on wheels)

anyways an SSR passes me on the freeway with paper plates and i figured i could take him even though i was weighed down. at a 65 punch i pulled ahead but when i hit hit 3rd gear he pulled back next to me and at about 85-90 he began to SLOWLY edge me out. at 120 we let out and his doors were at my front fenders. i gave him a thumbs up and we slowed down. i want to say if i wasnt loaded down i coulda taken him but im not sure. those trucks are still runnin a 5.3 right?

now im determined to make the top end of my truck stronger. my first and second pull hard but then it seems to fall on its face in 3rd

i get tired of posting losing races im guna start posting everytime i beat something lame to make myself feel better

 

I had a similar problem the tc was locking in third wot after 80mph that is the stock setting might start there

 

is this something i should mention to allen next time he plugs in, or is this something he normally takes care of

 

New ones are packin' the LS2....

 

not to worry it aint a 5.3 tis a 6.0

 

The new ones run high 13's. Don't feel too bad!

 

Good job there TX...

 

for losing? lol. would some pacesetters on true duel exhaust put me next to him on the top end? im thinkin pacesetters w/ cats and x pipe 2.5".

wish i could get a cam to make 2nd last until the finish line because 1st and 2nd pull hard but 2nd shifts out around 80 and i do a nose dive.

 

My second lasts almost until the end of the track, shifts at like 88 or 87 just a bit before the finish. what rpm do you shift at?

 

6000 rpm. i have 3.73 gears and 30" tires.
