Black6spdz Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Some of you may or may not know but my previous turbo silverado burned basically to the ground about a year ago. The truck made its best pass to date at 10.18 with a slipping trans in 2nd gear. The truck only went 134mph and went 138mph earlier in the day on less boost. Since this time I have been driving a turbo lifted Sierra. I have decided a lifted truck is not for me and purchased a rust free 2003 SS that needs a little work. Glad to be back into one of the trucks and a part of the community again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levilz Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Welcome back. Are you transferring the turbo setup from the Sierra over, or starting fresh with this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Does this mean youre going to try to break into 9's again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black6spdz Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Depends if it sells with the sierra. This truck will be getting some form of boost. I will not be going 9s lol, I am confident my previous truck would have with more seat time and a fresh trans. 3 passes total with drag radials and a 2 step was not enough for me to get it completely figured out. This truck will probably end up with a turbo 12ish lbs of boost a 4l80 and converter. My last truck at that level was 100% reliable and ran mid high 11s. This truck will be a daily driver.

Black6spdz Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks guys, for mileage the truck still got pretty close to stock as long as you stayed out of boost. The converter hurt mileage in town more than anything. but it would still get 15 or 16 on a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
