It's obvious the Mustang was faster than me considering he pulled back the 2 trucks by 120 and woulda kept pulling... Pretty sure he was an auto and the thing was loud as ****. Sorry for calling you a douche... Maybe instead of that CAI I just charged I shoulda done a GoPro instead?

Why is everyone here making such excuses? Do some research about TBSS, GM didn't screw around when they built this truck. Which is why I bought one!

Do auto Mach 1's that are pretty stock have traction issues at 50mph? The guy knew we were racing, he even nodded when I held Three fingers up in my window letting him know I was gonna 3 honk it. I took the hit by maybe .5 of a second dude.

Wow, man. I take back my comments. Just looked on YouTube and I have to say that these TBSS are pretty damn quick! Impressive.
Just never expected the TBSS to be that fast.
Good Kill man!

You can come up with whatever conclusion you need to dude. I posted this because I was excited it was my first run. And for what it's worth the fastest stock TBSS has gone 13.3.. And yes catback is zilch, but my truck sounds a lot better with the muffler delete at WOT. If it wasn't for the fact my 14 y/o needs braces and my wife's car needs tires; I'd be modding already...
I do think without a doubt from a dig it woulda been worse for the mustang because this truck just ****'s an gets in first gear. Then it hits second and slows due to how long second is..
After some bolt-ons/ stall / cam I should be in the bottom 12's! This is my DD though so I'm not going to go too wild. Something to keep me happy till Ford decides to give the $10/hr they took from me 2 years ago back.
Then it's C6Z time!

I'm relaxed! And I never said anyone said my truck was a POS... It just seems like people are making every excuse they can. Due to time constraints of my lunch half hour I was only able to get one run with him. I would have loved to dig...

From a dig, it looks like the AWD TBSS is pretty nasty also. Looks like it launches hard the Jeep SRT8. Wow..something else to watch out for. What the hell is going on lately.

Decent Cam - Something that makes great Torque
LS1 Electric Fans
Trans Cooler
3000-3600 Stall depending on cam
CAI - on it's way
Kooks LT's with catted y through stock exhaust.
Injectors
Ported Polished TB... Should be enough for bottom 12's!

From the looks of it, Stall and a few simple bolt ons will get us there. I've already got a list for spring!

Proof? Last time I saw, 13.8x was the record. Where did a half second come from?
GoPro hanging upside down from t-top/sunroof + flip video mode (or do it in editing program) = win.
In an AWD 4000+lb truck? Not needed, at least for those mods.

A coworker and I both bought our wives tbss the same day. We took them to the track a few weeks later. Due to a wreck we only made one pass and I ran a 14.6 and he a 14.8. Granted this was in august and hot as hell but low 14s seem to be the norm.
Now with full bolt ons and a stall its still only good for low 13s on radials. I did all the bolt ons as soon as I bought it and that included a tranny cooler and deeper pan. The awd are even worse and have enough trouble holding up stock much less modded.
I'm installing a cam in a few weeks but its gonna cost an arm and a leg due to having to upgrade the tranny.

4000lb truck? Things got to be closer to 5,000lbs. Hell, my little GMC Acadia is 5,000lbs in the AWD version and thats a V6 and roughly the same size as the TBSS.
There is no way a TRUCK is gonna do better times than thousand pound lighter GTO's do with the same engine. LS2 GTO's run low to mid 13's. TBSS's stock run low to mid 14's at "normal" tracks.

No doubt that Chevy and Dodge knew what they we're doing with the tbss and Cherokee.
There is a srt8 Cherokee at the local track that out runs every other street car there. Of course it has a big shot of dope but still its a suv! Awd is a bitch... reminds me of the old gmc Sonoma with a Turbo v6 back in the day. I Love sleepers
