chevy VortecMax V8

[sumtersc]

just want to know has anyone taken on the chevy vortecmax w/345 hp & 380 in the torque dept. or the new silverado ss 4x2 ? chevy guys in my area seem to mess with me the most then the dodge boys w/hemi. the ford guys dont bother me too much unless its the harly,they really like to play. dont see enough srt10 rams or lighting to worry about them and i wouldnt even think of trying them anyway.

What mods do you have? It's going to come down to the hole shot if you have CAI, exhaust and timing advance I would think.

Heard they run high 14's. Thats what one TITAN owner said when he saw one at the track in Pamona Cali. The guy was in street gear, nothing removed and all stock. I don't mess around with Harley's or Lightnings, main reason.....they are supercharged. Raced a F-150..older version, that was supercharged but I was slowly gaining on him, I figured after seeing his boost gauge and how long it took me to start gaining a lead. Anyways, I'm more concerned about the new Escalade.....o-60 in 6.4? Hmmm. 400hp, 400lb tq. Hmmm....Sounds interesting. Smoking a $60,000 SUV would be more exciting than beating a Hemi Ram. Thats because I would be hurting a yuppy ego.

2006 SS 4x2 xcab at sea level with only a K&N and 300 miles on it ran a 14.8 while I was there at HRP several months ago.

those chevy's can be made quick really easily as well. hey RB when are you headed back up to HRP? im getting nitrous this weekend, dont know when it's gonna get installed but im sure you wouldnt mind seeing my future 12 sec. truck.

I had my chance againist one of them (VMax) but it wasn't from a stand still. We were going about 15-20 and he had about a hood length lead and it pretty much stayed like that. Only able to get up to about 60 because of the light coming up and then ended up in traffic.

BTW, I have stock airbox mod and exhaust and he looked and sounded stock.

my mods are jba headers, gibson dual side exhaust, volant c.a.i. with the big tow 4x2 set up. we need a serious chip guys and soon. like i said i dont bother the harley boys but they sure as h*** like messing with me, even the ladies i driving them give me a hard time.

Hey bad my truck is getting gear and posi....then I got to figure out how to install my NO2...

what kind of shot are you gonna run? i think im gonna only start out with a 75 or 100 shot. and what are you trying to figure out as far as installing you nitrous? how to do it? or where to put the nozzle?... im going to drill and tap a throttle body spacer for mine.

The 06 SS 4X2 only weighs in the 4680 lb range.
That is a great hp/weight ratio.
