My Freinds Bone Stock 200 Silvy Ext Cab Step Side With A 5.3 Ran A 15.7 Consistantly At State Capitol Dragway

 

I will see you there!

 

How heavy are those 2wd QC's? I'd guess 15.5@91 stock.

 

I would think you would run an almost identical time to a 2WD SS truck if you have the extended cab 2WD. Slightly slower for a crew cab (maybe 2 tenths for 1/4 mile).

If you have the 4WD VMAX, I would say you are right in there with the AWD SS truck. You can always run in 4 high or auto to drive all 4 wheels - you have that option. I have not needed it however.

The 2WD SS trucks now run 3.73 gears, but are lighter. The AWD SS trucks ran 4.10 gears but were 250 pounds or so heavier.

Both trucks run almost identical 1/4 mile times. Truck Trend magazine ran both SS's. The 2WD ran a 15.1 and the AWD ran a 14.99. 0-60 on the 2WD was 6.7 seconds and 6.6 for the AWD.

Car and Driver tested the AWD SS with a time of 6.3 seconds to 60, and 14.8 for the 1/4. I am sure they corrected for weather/altitude.

Anyway, the VMAX's run the same motor as the SS trucks, but the stronger 4L70E transmission with identical ratios. The weight difference is less than 20 pounds between a comparably equipped SS and VMAX truck.

Just some info to digest

I would guess that the short tube headers, Predator, and High flow air intake would make my LQ4(4WD) about as powerful as a stock LQ9, and I think it would run a good bit better than a 16. it's never been to the track but Damn what Beast when it comes to passing somebody. between Like 40 & 100+ MPH it Friggin rocks for such a big truck, I Like It & Now I want More Hear that???? Custom tune Comin in, SweeeeeeeT, Peace Out, Mike.

 

I never ran my 5.3 Crew Cab when it was stock but after Predator Tune, Volant and AeroChamber I ran 15.2 @90.9. I don't think my truck was a 16 second truck stock but it was a high 15 second truck. So I would say a mid to low 15's for the same truck with a 6.0
