New track times

horsepwraddict · 06-28-2009, 10:20 AM

I tested and tuned yesterday at NED. The weather was horrible, mid 80's (maybe higher) and very high humidity. Made 3 passes.

1st pass

60' 2.388 (spun hard)
1/8 8.886
1/4 13.324
mph 110.65

2nd pass. Shifted passed second into third, back to second then third

60' 2.054 (hooked a little better, still spun though)
1/8 8.321
1/4 12.838
mph 108.74

3rd pass

60' 1.953
1/8 7.872
1/4 12.221
mph 111.96

last time i was up my 60's were in the low 1.8's. I think with better air and hooking a little better their is an easy 11 second pass in the truck. It has awesome mph for the ET's its running. Not bad for a junkyard 5.3 with a cam.

Awesome... What was your best time with the sbc??

horsepwraddict · 06-28-2009, 05:49 PM

chevysten · 06-28-2009, 10:17 PM

Nice runs.I have the same thing,junkyard 5.3 with a cam.My best run was a 12.9 2.2 60,@110mph.I would love to get into the 11's,but I think thats pushing it NA.Good times though.

ls1s10onair · 06-28-2009, 10:26 PM

sounds like you just need to hook up a little better. You have extremely good MPH for that ET.

ls1s10onair · 06-28-2009, 11:10 PM

anything special for suspension/tires?

horsepwraddict · 06-29-2009, 08:37 AM

100% stock suspension. Tires are 275/50-15 Nitto drag radials

chapdou · 06-29-2009, 07:35 PM

how much the cam give you ? because my truck is far away those number with my stock 5.3 4l60e

horsepwraddict · 06-29-2009, 09:50 PM

I have no idea what the cam gave me power wise. I never ran the motor any other way than it is now.

paydro · 06-29-2009, 11:55 PM

whats the 91 weigh in at with driver?

AmericanMuscle · 06-30-2009, 04:19 PM

nice times! you have any new pics of your truck?

I'm going to try to go to the track this Friday with my drag radials.See how much better it hooks.

Blmfighter · 07-01-2009, 11:04 AM

How much hp and tq are you guys running? that cam must really open up the power on the 5.3

horsepwraddict · 07-01-2009, 01:28 PM

if i had to guess, i would say 380-390 at the crank for both hp and torque. Car craft got similair numbers with a 5.3 build they did with a similair setup.

I made 347hp and 331tq at the rear wheels.Its has more in it but had to cut it short because fuel pump wasent keeping up.The cam I have in it is just a freak.I love it.Comp cam Extreem/222/228,581/588 112+2

Oh how I wish....

Awesome MPH... Keep workin on that sixty foot!

horsepwraddict · 07-03-2009, 03:55 PM

I just bolted on a set of 28x10.5 ET drags two nights ago. That should take care of my short times.

horsepwraddict · 07-25-2009, 08:32 PM

went up again today and get some new times. I was launching around 2000 rpms off te foot brake as my converter has proven to be fairly tight.

Best run

11.99
114 mph
1.88 sixty foot

best mph i had was 114.5. of the four runs i made all had MPH between 113 and 114.5

Nice times man, that's exactly where I want to be by the end of the season.

Daveman2 · 07-25-2009, 10:51 PM

nice times man, you'll be popping into the 11s soon no doubt, that's a FAST ride

horsepwraddict · 07-26-2009, 10:06 AM

It was also in the mid 90's again (it was the last time up too). I cant wait for some cool air.

fastoyzz · 07-26-2009, 11:35 AM

sounds to me ur convertor is waaaayyyyyy!!! too tight i had the exact same set up in an 88 sonoma. Except i have a glide in my truck and 456's but my convertor was an ati 4300 went 7.62 1.62 60' and 89.9x mph in the 1/8 on 28x12.50 sportsman pro's in florida weather. Never got to run that combo 1/4 mile get that convertor loosened up u will go way faster. like to see some pics of ur set up too love my carb'd LS

horsepwraddict · 07-26-2009, 11:43 AM

ya, i know. The converter is way tight. When i bought it i still had plans for driving it on the street, now it doesn't see street time. How much does your truck weigh? How do you like the glide setup? If i decide to go with a bigger motor next year I was thinking of putting a glide in it with some real steep gears.

5.3s10 · 07-26-2009, 09:54 PM

what cam r u running!

horsepwraddict · 07-27-2009, 11:11 AM

tr220-114

fastoyzz · 07-27-2009, 10:29 PM

I had an ls6 cam in my 5.3 cause i had the heads milled 0.30 and couldn't run any bigger cam cause of piston to valve clearance
