Silverado 1 Busa 0

[George C]

last night i was on my way home and a buddy of mine with a 05 busa said he follow me on the highway some till his exit. well he wanted me to get on it alittle when we were hanging out at a local spot. i didnt really want to get on it with the motor being so fresh. well i head home and he decides to pace me going home. so i say what hte heck and down shift so now im in 3rd and we are going about 50ish. i floor it fought some traction issues and take off and shift around 7k or so, grab 4th and stay in it till about 123mph. im about 4-5 lenghts a head of him on his 05 busa. now he said he was only in 6th gear but im not fully sure but ill take his word for it. well we pull over on side of highway and bs'd for a while. he was impressed and so was I. this truck has so much topend pull its unreal and its no where near tuned. it has hardly any timing in it and the VE table isnt smooth and out of wack right now. but im deffently impressed for this setup so far. A truck shouldnt be able to walk a Busa what so ever. Motor has about 120 miles on it currently. i cant wait till its tuned and fully broken in...

for some that dont know. its a 11.1 CR Lunati lightweight 408, with L92/L76 and a 244/248 spec'd cam and T56 with 4.88s out back,yadda yadda yadda

so i figured i share the first experience with you guys/gals

. now he said he was only in 6th gear but im not fully sure but ill take his word for it.

sounds fun quik...next time tell you buddy to start out in a gear that puts the engine above 2k rpm. LOL

I didn't know you converted the truck to a stick...props for that.

yea its a proshifted t56, yea i know the whole thing with it being in 6th but the fact is it was still pretty cool. i have no issue running him again later on

i could of went in 2nd and put me in a better power range also but wasnt sure of this truck and its hard to downshift this trans.

I don't know if I would qualify that as a kill or not, but I'm sure that truck is gonna be plenty fast once you get it tuned. What kind of hp do you think it will put out?

you happen to follow me around anytime im out. rather im out in the camaro or thetruck now. give me some time and you might get your chance

[chevydad]

so you raced a busa that started in 6th gear. that's like giving you a big head start.... i bet if you started in 6th in the truck and i was in my vw at a 40 roll, i would pull you.
