Slicks???? IMO your stall is the problem you have the hp as shown by your mph but you just dont have the short time but the stall will get you there.
Can you help me understand shift recovery? I understand what it is and all but wasnt sure what you can do to effect it other than changing the stall and what do you change in the stall to have an effect?


Right now I have the 4L80E with the "too tight" 10.5" PI 5-disc multiplate stall which is stalling at about 2300rpm. My truck shifts at about 6100 (according to the tach) and drops to 4000rpm after the shift.

Its an area I dont know much about

I didnt realize you had a stock stall as well. With a stall your truck is gonna be a monster finally
Thanks Justin. Monster, probably not.. lol

Last time I weighed my truck I was 5280. That was without the 80e in it too. I had at least another 100 pounds in there with my computer, work binders and files, and some tools.

I sure hope it runs better with a stall, sticky tires, and some serious weight reduction.

My run last year is as follows;

Weather;
Temp 83
relative humidity 39
absolute barometer; 29.92

60' : 2.146
330': 5.875
1/8 : 8.929
mph: 81.02
1000': 11.547
1/4 : 13.788 @ 100.05

Last nights runs reposted;

temp; 66
relative hum; 55
absolute barometer; 29.76

60' : 2.213
330' : 6.035
1/8 : 9.026
MPH : 82.56
1000': 11.576

1/4 : 13.721
MPH : 104.44

It look like my short times are really hurting me. How much time reduction can I expect from a stall?

Apparently I missed the 1, I meant 1400. With an aftermarket stall the difference in rpm between each gear is narrowed down. I dont know what exactly it is in an aftermarket stall that causes this over a stock unit. Shift recovery is simply put the amount of rpm dropped after each shift. The 80e has closer gear ratios than a 60 on the 2,3, and 4 gears so along with an aftermarket stall it becomes a better choice IMO after you get out of first. You can also get the first gear conversion from TCI which makes the first gear of an 80e to 2.75 from the stock 2.48 which is a nice noticeable change and along with a nice tc would make for a nice trans IMO. This is the route I am going.

Not sure what they weigh, but they are weld evo slingblades, forged aluminum. Not sure of the weight though. Tires are Pirelli Scorpion P-Zero'a 305/35's. I know they are heavier than stock, just not sure how much they effect my times.

I want 12's on 22's, lol. 100 wet shot? Forget the 90mm TB, meth injection, stall and slicks, lol ha ha

How accurate are the horsepower calculators? Using the mph method, I get 472 rwhp. Sound right?

If somewhat accurate, I am very happy.

Thats the one I always use and it is usally pretty accurate. I've used it to figure out my C5, my T/A and my truck in numerous configuraitons as well as some friedns cars that I knew the weight on.

Hell even taking a pot shot at my trucks raceweight this weekend (5500lbs) and my MPH (100mph) It calculates 429rwhp. I dyno'd 433rwhp lol.
