My stock SS at the track last night

[Ryan23]

Overall, a bit disappointed. Truck is bone stock with the exception of a 3" Flowmaster 40 replacing the OEM muffler (still have OE resonator). I just had the first oil change, ~770 miles on the odo as I tech'd. Time to start modding I suppose :) FWIW, I've drag raced a number of cars in the past, not my first rodeo.

First run: Stabilitrac off, Trans in "D", foot braked to 1800 RPM,

R/T - .954
60' - 2.209
1/8 - 9.612@74.41
1/4 - 14.875@93.09

Second run: Stabilitrac off, trans in "2", foot braked to ~2300 RPM, didn't lead the trans early enough and caught the revlimiter going into 3rd.

R/T - .702
60' - 2.169
1/8 - 9.612@74.24
1/4 - 15.026@86.73

Third Run: Stabilitrac off, Trans in "1", footbraked to ~2300 RPM (accelerator to the floor), shifting manually @ 6K (trans actually shifted @ 6200~6300).

R/T - .585
60' - 2.165
1/8 - 9.572@74.63
1/4 - 14.794@93.89

Last run: Stabilitrac off, Trans in "1", footbraked to ~1800 RPM (let off brakes at the last yellow and tried mash gas & flash the convertor, didn't work :no: ), shifted manually @ 6K (same as before).

R/T - .582
60' - 2.211
1/8 - 9.535@75.52
1/4 - 14.730@94.35

It cooled off a bit as the sun set. I figure that's where I picked up the extra mile an hour. The truck wasn't spinning or bogging. It's actually a pretty boring ride. At about the 60 foot I was thinking I probably should have picked up some Starbucks to help keep my eyes open :sleepy:.

Not really sure where I could have picked up any in the 60'. I'm always open to suggestions. With a 2.0x 60', the truck looks like it should be in the 14.3's. I'm sure it's "possible" on the OEM converter @ this power level but I'm probably missing something. Maybe I could futz around with tire pressures :confused:. According to my handheld tire gauge, I was siting @ 35 psi all around, DTC read 37 psi.

I've got a Yank 2600TT on order, I'm sure that will help out quite a bit. I wanted to go with the 3000TT but the guys @ Yank cautioned against it (the truck still needs to tow my "real" race car & trailer).

Are most of you (stock) AWD guys trapping in this neighborhood (93~94mph)?

Take a look here and see what guys are doing.

My trap was 100.09. I have the VMS Tune and a K&N

I don't know what to say other than, are you sure it was your truck running that slow or was everyone off that night?? that's pathetic MPH for our truck, you're like 3-4mph off of stock, heat?? maybe? I don't know but I sure am glad mine runs good, I would lose it if my SS was that slow..no offense..AWD's by me are all under, albeit not by much, but at least two ran 13.8-9, at both Atco & Englishtown, and Matt's ran 13.7 a few times at Atco? I have run a ridiculous amount of mid 13's..on 2 trips, stock except for the K&N replacement..
here's a link to some of my slips, and if you PM me I will give you a link to some vids of a few SS's running...Good luck..

Tony -
I found a couple posts from guys with the K&N drop-in picking up 2 mph. That would bring it a *little* more in line. "CRapital" Raceway isn't exactly the best dragstrip but it is close by. Maybe I'll run it up @ Cecil for grins to see if there is any difference. I'm also under 1000 miles, which maybe (hopefully?), is still under some default GM break-in map. Not really too up on how GM PCM's function.

I would love to but I haven't had any luck getting ahold of them. I've sent them 3 E-mails and called a few times since last Monday. I've either pissed Chris off in a past life or they are really swamped :confused:.

I may contact Lyndon Wester to see what he could do for me in the way of tuning. I've got some serious plans for this truck over the next month ;)

Well I remember talking to you on the phone once but no other calls? I emailed you again today just to see if it's my email client or something lol

Hey Chris -
Yes, we spoke once on Tuesday. I didn't receive an E-mail from you by Friday with the total so I tried to call again but didn't get an answer. Admittedly, I didn't leave a message as I figured you were probably busy. I just checked my mail and I have something from you now.

Thanks,

Ryan

Thank God! I was starting to think my client was on crack lol :)

Mine's AWD. I've made about 6 passes and it's never went slower than 14.2 @ around 96.

[Ryan23]

Went out to Cecil tonight to verify my times at another track. Only got two passes in before they closed the lanes :mad:. 14.73@94.5 Almost identical to my ET/MPH time at Capital. Apparently thats all she's got in her bone stock, at least with 1100 miles on the odometer. Oh well, time to start modding.

Ryan

[B52GUNNER]

The miles per hour and times look like torque management to me, with a MPH of 94.5 I would expect about a 14.2 in the 1/4.

Don't sweat it too hard Ryan, you aren't the only one seeing those kind of numbers stock. That is dead on where I was. There are so many factors that can affect your times, and as I am finding out, air temperature and humidity can impact these trucks in a major way, causing swings in your times of as much as .3-.4 secs. A tune will wake you up in a hurry.

Thanks for the feedback. I was beginning to think I had one of those "Built-on-Friday-afternoon" trucks :p.
