Track times?

[tx07tahoe]

So Iam going to the track this Friday. To settle a dispute. lol. Iam racing with my tahoe. Everything is stock except for a tune. Iam racing my friends with a Focus and a 71 C10 with a 5.0. The dispute is with my friend with a v6 extended cab silverado. His only mods are dual exhaust and a hole cut into his intake box. I know he can get me off the line. So does anyone have a prediction on my time. I know is gonna be bad.

20's... haha no jk, but like you said not going to be good. and his silvy may win. tho it is a 6 it might be close, but your truck weighs so much more!

 

[tx07tahoe]

Ya. lol. Its more for the fun. Its better than street racing.

 

[UofMZ71]

very true!

I finally got my cousin to run his SSS. Took me 2 years. So thats why we are going.

leave in 3, and tree them, leave as soon as 3rd light comes on.
The old C10 weighs about 4200 lbs, I know, I raced mine all the time, but it did finally run 12.80's on motor.

 

[tx07tahoe]

[REAL TEXAS TAHOE]

different body style, but my 2005 with a 5.3 and 3.73 gears bone stock ran a 15.6 at 88mph.. you have an 07, so the drive train and truck weight shouldn't be too much different..

 

[tx07tahoe]

I'll let yall know.

I hope I can get close to that number. We'll see.

Man, I can't wait to take my truck to the track one day. I'm thinking it'll be a year before I get it to where I want it, and have a spare pair of racing tires/wheels.

 

[TX LTZHoe 07]

You're at sea level, so that should help your times. I would guess a 16.0 due to the weight. Mine ran a 16.5ish (dynolicious), but it has the 3.42 gears and we are at 900ft.


Honestly, I bet the truck with the V6 takes you...But I could be wrong. Make sure you run 1/4 mile, cause you might have a chance to run him down on the big end where your HP has the advantage.

just don't red light

I may the first time. lol. But I'll try not to.

Tomorrow Iam gonna try and shead as much wieght as I can. Like the rear seats and spare tire. There is a reason why they call my truck fat albert. lol

I can't in a million years see the V6 Silvrado take you.. That's got to be a 17.0+ truck.. Your truck even with you, a novice, should be in the 16's. here's a link to a few quick tips at the track.. My TBSS ran 13.5's stock consistently when most others were barely breaking into the 13's. http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18786

tx07tahoe, what tune and mods do you have?

Tow/Haul mode may help too. Are you going to run E85 or 93 octane?

I wonder if there is any difference between disabling only Traction Control vs. disabling both Traction Control and Stabilitrack.

I too am interested in the trap times and mph...

 

[tx07tahoe]

Just a bully dog self program tune. No other engine mods. I was gonna use the tow haul mod. Iam gonna use 93 octane. I heard you lose HP from E85. Iam gonna turn the TC off.

 

[CincinnatiZ]

Make sure the tank is all 93 octane but DONT fill it up. Just a 1/4 tank.

 

[tx07tahoe]

Its close to empty now. So Iam gonna fill it up a bet before hand.
