Hey ur truck is awsome, i had the red camaro with they 5.3 turbo @ the shootout, and u should def do something about ur iats, i deleted my intercooler at first but after my iats were goin over 200 during a pass i put it back in with quikness lol, and it definately runs stronger with the lower iats

btw what was ur best pass at indy

 

I had an intercooler at indy and it hasnt shown any major improvement over no IC. My best pass was on sat night 8.8 @157.

 

Nice, some more hits and I can see ya taking the stock shortblock record.

 

Think it would be faster with that trap considering how hard you 60

 

The 60ft wasnt all that great on that run. I did have a couple 1/8th mile blasts that were pretty good. 1.32 60fts and 5.6@124 on those runs

The 8.8 pass was on higher boost than i ever tried i think it got into some spots on the map that were a lil off cause it kinda surged/stumbled at halftrack then took off. Its getting harder and harder to make improvements in my ET, maybe the poor 5.3 has had enough??? Im pretty mean to this engine and it takes alot of rpm and boost to get it to 60 with a glide and a 3.50 gear with 30"tires

Justin i met ur buddies with the nova at the shootout. Sweet ride

 

you are damn close if you get it to 60 like previously and get a clean full pass

not snowing down there yet, make it happen, lol

 

Congrads on the times that truck is flying and looks real clean also. Im also running the stock LM7 2005 block in mine too but with a t56. You and skinnies are flying...keep it up man.

Keep it up man, that 60 is absurd!!!

 

Great results! keep up the good work!

 

Damn that truck runs good, I thought my buddy told me you went 8.70's, how much does ur truck weigh in at

 

It weighs in at 3250

I had one run that would of been great had i not forgot to reset the boost controller saftey cutoff. It went 5.691 but only 118mph cause the controller reverted back to wastegate pressure.

 

great results especially for 3250lbs in a brick shaped vehicle!

 

Hey Chris, enjoyed learning about your build at Norwalk and then a bit more at Indy.

I was curious what converter you are running, and you are using a 2 step?

 

Chris, I don't know the entire setup, or class rules you are staying in, but what about meth injection to cool the IAT's? Or nitrous?

 

Yes on using the 2 step and PM me for details on the converter.

Ben(call911) you can use meth or nitrous or whatever but your formula has a huge area up front for an air to air. If it were my car i would use that and use good gas or e-85. I dont dont why you are so opposed to running anything other than pump gas, e85 is everywhere out were we live.

As everyone who has a high hp stock engine will tell you its all in the tune. And good gas will help it live longer. At least put some race gas in it when you turn it up. Thats my opinion

 

I was referring to your truck and your high IATs and how meth might cool them down.

 

Thanks Chris could you email me at john@motorsports-media.com I don't use PM's on here.

 

I had an intercooler on it for awhile and it hasnt made a difference in et. I took it back off and plan on goin to the track and see how it does.

 

Awesome build ! love your truck , gets me jacked up to get the 5.3 in my s10 . wont be as radical as yours though lol

 

Very cool Im feeling more inspired about my LQ4 build!
