A local club in Columbus rented out Norwalk Raceway Monday. For $35 I ran as many times that I wanted. It was great since I just went from the HPPIII to the Predator. Got to really play with the shift points and the other trans settings. In the beginning I was running 14.7 - 92mph. I was kind of disappointed because, at an other track I was running 14.6 - 93mph with HPPIII. They said, that at this track I would see my best times. It is a better track than National Trails, that is what they say?!. So after about 10 runs running 14.7s and slipping off the line. I tried different things, launching, burnouts, trans settings. I finally ran an all time best - 14.421 at 94.77mph with a 60' 2.149. I was happy! It was just a great day. Ran 18 times!? Other track I could only get in about 2 to 4 times.

I also bought some electric LS1 fans off a fbody guy. New project!

It was nice to meet you T76Y2KSS. It was fun to see you truck launch.

Can you tell us all what set ups you ran with your Predator? What worked? What didn't? Thanks Oh yeah, great track numbers!!

Seeing Red Again

Congrats! I'm looking forward to the day I can see those kinda numbers with my own '02.

02Silverado, how much faster do you think the Predator made your truck run over the HPP3?

It is hard to say if it really made me faster. I was on two different tracks, a month apart. With the HPPIII I ran 14.612 at 92.96mph with a 2.154 60'. That was with the shift point up, but can't remember how much.

Monday the setting were:
- 1-2 rpm - 4700, 2-3 rpm 4700
- Shift Speed, 1-2 -25%, 2-3 -25%
- Line Pressure, 1-2 +17, 2-3 +17

I think that was it?! I think I could have done better, more tweaking! I didn't take the line pressure all the way up, I didn't know if +25 would be to much. As far as what didn't work, nothing really, I started low with settings and went up with them. Think I could have kept bumping the numbers up for better and better times. Temperature and track were changing. I Will probably have to start over next time.

I will say that when I went from the HPPIII to the Predator, I didn't drive the truck without the stock programming in-between programmers, and I could feel the difference. I think the Predator made my truck run smoother, just an all round smooth feel. If that make sense?

If any one has pics of LS1 fans on there truck, I would love to see them.

As for the launching and burnout's. I found with my setup I got my best 60' times by going around the water box and doing a small brake stand and letting off the brake once they started to spin. I would roll to the light and stall till my tires would barely turn and let off just a little. Then I would just mash it! I would only spin about 4 or 5 feet. Now that I think of it I could have probably feathered it of the line a little.
