I was just curious about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times on these new Vortec MAX trucks. Has anyone used a performance computer, or run one at a track yet?

I saw a Duramax that was running a 14.7 1/4 mile. I was wondering if my Vortec MAX could hang with that.

P.S. I have 200 miles on it now, 300 left before I can mash it

The ss's run 14.9s and you maybe doing 14.9-15.2, vortec max with a tune should take that duramax plus an intake and exhaust you should be to 14.2-14.5

Are you talking about the AWD SS or the 2WD SS? The AWD is more comparable to my truck because it has 4.10 axles also and 4WD. The 2WD is a couple of hundred pounds lighter but is handicapped by 3.73 gears.

The AWD's run around 14.9's, I haven't seen any times on the 2wd's yet. Like 5.3AlmnBlk said, tune, exhaust, and intake will take you there.

i haven't seen any numbers yet, but i'd expect around 14.8-15.2 from it.

I believe the AWD will get you the same thing as the 2wd it can be lighter but it will also be harder to hook.

My 2wd ran a 14.86 before any of my mods.

What year is the Duramax? The 06's got a pretty good bump in the hp/tq department. If that guy gets a chip in before you race him I think you're gonna be in for a surprise. Aren't they something like 360/650 stock now?

The Duramax that ran the 14.7 was an 03. It had an Edge module in stage 4 (whatever that means).

I have a Nissan Maxima that runs the 1/4 in about 15.1. I had a Duramax pull on my Nissan a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed.

I just don't want those Duramax trucks to think they have one up on my new truck

Yes the current Duramax trucks are 360 HP and 650 Ft/Lbs. I don't think that they have as much "headroom" for improvements because Chevy has "turned it up" already.

after finally getting around to playing with some vortec max programming today i must say that if you decide to race someone, keep it out of the tow/haul mode. there is a huge difference in the torque management between normal and tow/haul mode and normal with normal being much better.
