I had an 04 Silverado, I just never drove it. So it went for my wifes Cadillac and I picked up my big block 1 ton for 3400 bucks with 82,000 original miles on it.
I miss the 04, but the Trans Am makes up for it.

At anyrate, I had the Torsion bar keys changed to level my 04.

You dont think it can be done?This one should be in the 12s not for 2K$ but a RCSB can be.Tell these guys here no one here can build a N/A chevy to run in the 12s for 2K worth of mods.

2k worth of mods at public price rates? I don't think so.

There are quite a few impressive 12 second Chevy's on this site though!

The exception would be the TBSS... which we have beaten to death until Ken 04sw traded his 12 second rcsb ram for one LOL.

Why the rules and stippulations,I never said anything about using new parts.All I ever said was you can put a RCSB into the 12s N/A for 2K$


Is Ken using No2 on his TBSS ?

I do agree that that Crew Cab Denali AWD is badass.

But please do some research before you act like having a 4.30 over a 3.73 rear gear is the only thing that matters. Becuase you would find out the transmission gear ratios of the 6sp toyota trans vs. 6sp chevy trans, the chevy actually has the advantage in first and second gear (and that is taking the rear gear into account) and the rest of the gears they are pretty even. Also that is using the 4.30 vs. 3.73, and the 4.30 is not standard it is optional so the real comparison would be 4.10 and with that the chevy would have the advantage in every gear.

Tundra gear ratios:

3.333:1 first gear ratio, 1.96:1 second gear ratio, 1.353:1 third gear ratio, 1:1 fourth gear ratio, 0.728:1 fifth gear ratio, 0.588:1 sixth gear ratio, 3.061:1 reverse gear ratio

Denali gear ratios:

First: 4.03
Second: 2.36
Third: 1.53
Fourth: 1.15
Fifth: 0.85
Sixth: 0.67
Reverse: -3.06


With that said, it is still pretty surprising that the Tundra has such bad gas mileage though.

What kind of mileage are they getting? I would like to see a magazine comparison of the ccsb 4x4 tundra with 5.7 6sp auto with the chevy ccsb 4x4 6.2 6 sp 4.10's The only comparisons I have seen were the tundra vs a 5.3 chevy and the vmax. Which the tundra won both in accleration.
