stock 0-60 time

[BigDiesel]

Was curious what the old girl could do 0-60, so I used the highly accurate stopwatch method. I tried to power brake it to get a little boost built up, but it started to do a brake stand, so I just let her go and hit the button. After about 20-30 ft of the MTR's howling :rolleyes: , she fully hooked up and we were off. About 12.8 seconds later I hit 60. Is this good, bad, or average?
BTW- "she" is a 97' 2 door tahoe, 4x4, auto, 3.73's, 305/70/16 mtr's, a full tank of fuel and me(270'ish)

Are you stock? Not the truck :D
With 305 and gearing you have I'm glad to hear you can spin them 305. :cool:

hmmmmm......if you're all stock then those tires don't give much traction....

my 99 stock with 265 michelins would barely give half a rotation on the passenger side tire.

see my post on 129hp to 171hp or whatever it was back in the fall.

course it's a different story now, baby! although not that much different, sad to say...

i will check 0-60 again with g-tech and post it

Yep, she's all stock....so far. In fairness to the mtr's it was a little damp out, but they were howling to beat he**. With the 3.73's and 305's the cruising rpm's are a lot better than they were with 265's.(2000 rpm @ 70 mph)

I don't have 0-60 but in the 1/4 mile i was 19.0 @ 70 mph. Truck was stock @ the time with 305/70 tires and 4.10 gears. Truck is a 4x4 long bed crew cab

Big Diesel,
I have the same truck and your time happens to be exactly what I got stock using the same method. With the big pipes and biger air box, It would do just under 12. I think it's a bit closer to 11 now with the new injectors. With out a new program, I think this is about the best these L56 jobs will do.

I built this system over 2 years ago.
Yes It does work. Mine is self made and took a summer to get the jetting right. Washer fuild works good. Intake Temp do drop when boost goes over 10psi. Most of the time I don't use it though on take off there is a noted power gain :D
Cost? around 2K :rolleyes: 200
