Big thanks to "Overdriven" (on this forum as a lurker and **** talker more than anything else) for doing about 90% of the work on the project.

Thanks Vinnie!!!

 

Looks good Jason! Can't wait to see what the smaller truck and 4wd will do for 1/4 mile times.

 

Thanks Neil!!

Went out to Sac 2 weeks ago and it ran 11.7 without meth or spray. Have to work on the tune a bit more and fix the trans shifting. Hopefully can get into the 11.5x's. Then start spraying it.

Goal is 10's.

 

90%?? I guess some credit is better than none. You do make a good flash light holder though...Ha ha ha

Lurk lurk lurk........Oooooosooooo!!!!!!

 

You talk a big game son... I got a flashlight for you to hold... LOL

 

Sounds good man! Got any videos of it in action yet?

 

Here is a video from the first time at the track:

60' 1.68
1/8 7.459 @ 93.5
1/4 11.75 @ 113.5

Jason's New Silverado 1/4 mile pass - YouTube

Hoping to get into 11.5X's once we get the tune dialed in.

 

The LQ4 lasted about 2 months in my truck. The intercooler started leaking so I disconnected the pump. Got on it hard and it detonated on the top of second at wot. Damage:



I picked up an LQ9 and 799 heads, should be around 11:1 compression. Went with ARP heads studs and LS9 gaskets. Gonna try to run high compression and E85 and see how it reacts. If things dont work, I will out the 317 heads back on.
