I got alot of learning to do, and its too cold to go to the track cause nobody ever shows up and the track is cold..
So maybe in the spring we shall see what it does...
When it's cool out, it'll run better ETs tho, right? Or do u prefer 90* & 100% humidity?
Think of it this way. You'll get more track time w/ no one there. U can try out that special combo that u don't people to see!

Or is it so cold there, that u just spin cause the tires aren't warm or track surface temp won't allow good lauches?

If you're only running 5psi, isn't 3psi enough to brake boost to? That's odd that a TT3000 didn't just load right up with a 6.0L when you had the 60E.

Here were my results:

5.3/Radix@9psi/Stock converter/4L60E - 13.57 @ 99
6.0/Radix@9psi/Stock converter/4L80E - 13.64 @ 104

I can't remember my 60' times, but my results were typical of what I saw from others. My ET was slower but my trap speed was higher.

I would assume that the 6.0L helped that a bit. That is a fairly good comparison either way.

Yeah, in my case the bottom line was the the 80E ate up almost all of the benefit I got of swapping from the 5.3 to the 6.0.

Here are my results....


5.3/4l60/STS@10psi.................Nothing didn't make it to the track...
6.0/4l80/STS@13psi................IT SHIFTS WITH NO SLIP!!!!!!!


I would not care if the 80 ate up double the hp, at least IT WORKS!!!


I would suspect a turboed truck would like the tall first gear of an 80 more that a supercharged truck...
