Rudy got car jacked and his **** was stolen. Poor bastard picked up a guy in BFE and dude put a gun to his head and drove off.
Now you can really hear the cam in the HB!LOL Sounds so much better. Gutted cats, no muffler, 5.3 with split fire plugs! Now I'm bad.

That **** sucks to hear about Rudy and his T/A. Did they ever find it or what happened? I ended up getting that TBSS this weekend. Can't wait to hear the roar of your HB now lol.

No the car hasn't been found. He had so much money and time into it he is just sick. He will not come close to getting back what was lost. What color is your SS? Any mods?

The SS is black on black with the stock 20s painted black, almost 51k miles on her. The cats and resonator have been removed, e-fans, UD pulley, K&N intake, and tuned with HP Tuners by Fast Motorsports (Brandon I think). It also has an FLT Stage 5 trans with Yank 3600 stall.

Yeah I remember how pumped he was when he purchased it. Was definitely a sick car. My condolences to it and him.

Those mods sound odd without "Cam and LT's" being added to the list. Don't believe a tune is even needed with just a CAI and cats removed. Unless those are like the LS1 GTO's where you can delete Torque Management. On my LS2 GTO the trans has its own computer and you gotta spend $130 on a new 'race' computer. Well worth the money though.. guys claim 2-3 tenths in the 1/4 mile, and I don't doubt it one bit. Though it shifts pretty damned hard for street use when you are WOT! unnoticeable at part throttle though: factory smooth.

"odd" as in out of the norm, unusual, or not normally done. Taking a LS2 and going all out on the transmission but not even going with headers? Or a cam? Everyone does there own thing and the more power to ya: I'm just thinking there might have been a mod or two left out of the story is all.

Just saying, if I were to start on a build, I would always start with trans/stall now as my first major mod that I have been through a few. Also, he blew the trans at 40,000 miles so he went with a built one from FLT to prevent it from happening again since that is the weak point on these vehicles. Fast Motorsports is very close to where he lived too and there are one of, if not the best, TBSS tuner out there.

What you have to remamber is, the TB is a 4600 to 5000 pound rig. The 4L70E is just a bit stronger than a 4L60E, not much. The weight is the biggest issue on trannies.

Having a hard time seeing how a 4,550lb truck with the same engine as a 3,770lb GTO can run times on par with the GTO with similiar mods? 4.10 gears in a straight axle setup obviously help, but that much?
yea i second this question.
Also 12.7 for a bolt on Jeep? That seems really odd because my friends SRT8 ran a 12.9 (dead stock had about 230 miles on it at the time) and when he ran a full exhausted and tuned one on the street it was a world of a difference between the two, from as dig as well as every roll they ran the Exhausted and tuned one pulled immediatly and KEPT pulling

here's a vid of a Jeep (12.7 vs 12.5) with all the boltons vs my truck at atco.
Believe me I have no reason to BS about the mods on my truck. I know how to drive, run with a 1/4 tank 93octane, drop the spare and jack, stock tires to 20psi, DR's at 20psi, flash the converter and gone.
