Hi Rookie -
Weight - the rotating mass contributes to some significant drivetrain loss. Had a discussion about this with Tony Mamo. Like I said before, in my response to BlackZ28629 - 2 piece D/S and 8"5 axles take their toll, on top of heavy wheels it takes compared to the lighter wheels Camaros can get away with.
Longtubes? Ever look at the difference between the firewall of a Camaro/Corvette compared to a truck? one of our chief complaints is there is no one making headers for such conversions. Agreed, there would be better numbers.
Tune? Yep, but mostly from the A/F side. I'd like to get a street tune vs a dyno tune.
Doubters still? ls1truck.com and see for yourselves - until then - don't think that everyone out there on the web boards is spreadin' the bull... - http://www.ls1truck.com/timeslips.htmLast edited by tmarr11; 08-22-2006 at 11:53 AM.

I have one truck that is as fast as my 06 G.T.O. (13.26) a 1998 dodge ram 2500 4x4 with a blown V10 etc. and my other truck will walk my G.T.O. hard, 05 cummins turbo diesel 4x4, runs 12.60s courtesy of gale banks, neither one is lightning or srt-10, and where do you live zapfool, maybe we could get together? I'm in utah , I think it'd be a fairly close race but either way it'd be fun.

i feel like the little door guy on the wizard of oz....."why didnt ya say so....come on in.....come on in.....lol
thats cool dude... didnt know you werent stock. I guess I couldve asked first...My friends boss at a Chevrolet dealership has a bad ass GMC Sierra that runs 12's all motor. Hes got a 6.0 LQ9 w/ a big cam, gears, etc. Pretty quick for a truck. If an F-Body had his motor in it, it would be running 11's.

Pewter- '99 Z28 M6
I got a fast truck for a daily driver too. It is a 1988 GMC stepside with these mods: 3.42's posi-trac, 2600 rpm stall, rollercam, World big valve heads, aftermarket fuel injection, long-tube headers, dual 3 inch exhaust, Scat forged bottom end, roller rockers, Edelbrock intake, lowered suspension, 75 shot of nitrous.
You can run the truck or the Z, PICK YOUR POISON muaahhhahaaahLast edited by Roastem; 12-12-2006 at 09:03 AM.

BlackZ28629 and The Rookie -
itsallgood....no problems guys. Parish8 (http://www.neufamily.org/03vids/) is the man that all of us truck guys want to be like - down in the 10s in a 2500 Chevy with dual chargers and a 4L80E transmission inside an AWD truck.
At the same time - yeah - I'm gonna dis them a little - but I think they'll take it ok.... I've decided (mostly due to my wallet, and family) that N/A is the way for me. No one knows what's coming and this thing idles at 900rpm. Not hardly a sound out of it when its just putt-putting along (sounds like any other pickup truck with a catback)
I figure I'd turn high 13s in with a good set of street tires and cool temps because I ran a 14.6 in 105degree temps with bald street tires and nearly lost it from the 1st/2nd gear shift at Ennis, TX a few weeks back....BTW - that day, it beat a Stage 2 SRT-4 with a carbon-fiber hood, CAI, brand new street tires (still could see the rubber little danglies on the tires), and some aftermarket rims - he ran a 14.8 and 14.9 right beside me....tells you what heat can do to performance - huh?
