BlueAWDSS Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm with ya Powell. My 06 mod for Mod against any awd ss will walk it. We were both running 14.1 with just a tune. Show me an awd that can do that..... Just sayinnnnnnnn I agree the 2wd are a little faster on the big end, there a little lighter and don't have all the extra strain on turning the front driveshaft. There very close tho due to the launch of the awd. CJ ran a 14.3 with a tune and exhaust only no headers. There's Noway I'd trade mine for a 2wd just love the launch of the line. Thanks for the support fellers Let go around some corners and see which is better. Sent from my PantechP8010 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Run a different compound tire out back in the RWD. And both are gonna need a rear sway bar anyways lol. Where is this thread going, AWD vs RWD? Lmao Both are great just pick which one suits you best, for me it's the RWD because I had drag racing in mind when I bought it.

coal miner Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I never said I have beat a cammed and blown SS, I said I have produced better quarter mile results than a friends truck with a blower and cam. The truck I'm speaking of is DiamondSS's brother. He ended up blowing up his power dyne supercharger which I later bought and sold to a guy on PT.net. Just so you don't mix my words. yeah sorry about that I was about half drunk last night lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what you spent on rims and tires I could do something else to my AWD SS and most likely be running right along with you. It's all apples to oranges. The fact is is that 2wd guys get to a certain point to where custom suspension comes into play. It has been proven that AWD in these trucks people start having real problems with the stock system when they start seeing deep 11's. Name a 2wd that is running like that that hasn't spent a fortunate in the rear end and slicks and tires. Meaning without a 4 link suspension and bars and everything. That is the point. People don't seem to get that. Paul Sent from my PantechP8010 using Tapatalk 2 Edited March 23, 2014 by BlueAWDSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 We have torsion bar suspsenion to start off with , so were already starting wrong of auto cross was our goal. And are you saying 11s aren't obtainable a stock suspension RWD truck? There aren't to many RWD trucks on this site to report such a pass. But a set of Caltracs, and I think it's manageable. Shit if I don't get bored with this truck I'll try and pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pick Blown or GI as the guys to get there. My pockets are to shallow 2wd or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Mine should be done getting dynoed this week I'm going for around 600rwhp on the bottle. I'll be at the track very soon and will show a stock suspension 11 sec slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 And you mention about spending on wheels and tires, and how you can mod your truck with that money spent. Well isn't that why we mod our trucks/cars to start with, in order to enhance the performance, and don't we all know it cost money to mod. But I'm not gonna waste my $$$ on a tire to go circles and hit corners with anyone. It's just a dumb argument. And Powell , money is on GI he's bout ready to make some passes. My only goal is to run a 12 second pass with the stock long block lq9. I haven't seen anyone report here say that it's been done with an SS, but people say it can't be done. I'm only .5 of a second away and haven't finished the bolts on's and I can still upgrade some, and still running a stock cam. I'll see how far in the 13s I can run with bolts then slap a cam in the ol lq9 and watch her run a 12 or bust, and heck might even plumb a nitrous kit and see what she'll do. My real goal with the truck is to swap the engine out with my ls3 I have sitting in the garage. But I feel I gotta do this first for all the SS fans. Anyways I'm gonna get some sleep, just got off work. Working nights on weekends sucks, missed the chance of watching some street races with a few fast trucks, one which was 500 rwhp plus direct port n20 w/ anywhere from 200 shot on up. Oh and I plan to run a 10 second pass, and I have no plans for a 4 link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have some really good air at your track. We have a ton of humidity here in South Fla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock longblock N/A is right, cam only is my goal. N that's right, GI your running stock heads still right? If he is, I'm sure he'll pull off a 12 second pass stating n/a.
