1st Time at Track, Timeslips, Video's, Impressions + Dyno Video's
With about 1800 Miles on the L, I decided track time. I ran the truck. For it's first time I wanted a 100% street run. Stock Tires, Spare, Jack, Tailgate, Tonneau, everything. I estimate the weight to be close to 4950, scale wasn't working though.
Started out with a 13.42 and whittled down to a 13.25 by the 4th pass. Unfortunately due to fog they stopped the track. The truck definately had more in it. (The track sucked and the air was filled with water). I ran the tires at about 26psi and stayed around 2.0 to 2.1 on the 60's. Didn't hit it too hard out of the hole, but I think at a good track, or even just a bit more practice with this truck. I could get down to about a 1.90. That comined with some good air would be putting the track right on the 12 sec door on the stock tires.
With sticky's, 12's would be a defintate, especially once I yank the sway bar and pull a few weight adders( spare tire, jack, tailgate, ect..) I was pretty happy with the times for only getting 4 passes in the truck and with the 2 power mods. Plus, I know what I am cabable daily on the street, bring on the ls1's!
Here are a few video links

Here are my 4 timeslips


As far as the dyno, with about 1700 miles on the truck, we pulled 379rwhp and 471rwtq, I think the torque may have even been higher, but, we started from 70 as not to downshift, next time we'll try to get 3 to 400 more rpms.
Again, I am very pleased with the dyno #'s. Once this puppy breaks in, she'll be very sweet. The exhaust was pretty much for sound purposes as it really doesn't do much for performance, so, for about $700 bucks, I don't think you can beat it!
Here are my 2 dyno runs.
