Message:
my friend just got a 01 chevy cc 4x2 1500 5.3 v8 auto LSD 3.73s and dual exhaust. we have raced twice and i won one he won one. both races ended with about a tenth of second led.
his times on the G-Tech 1/4 tester
fastest 15.65 @ 86mph
constant 15.9 @ 85mph
my times G-Tech
fastest 15.8 @ 87mph
constant 16.0 @ 86mph
now i want to get my truck down to the 15.6 constant and want to know the cheapest way to do that. i was going to relocate the ATI? sensor is this worth doing? any other suggestions will be appreciated. looking to take the truck out next weekend to test and see.

toolfan,
is there a cheap way to do bring your quarter down that much? .4 of a second is a hell of a lot if you think about it...
i dont know
i think you'd have to get some gears toolfan, or rockers maybe...find some cheap rockers and throw em in there, www.harlandsharp.com
$220 for a set of aluminum rockers.
im hoping that could get you to 15.6

I heard somewhere that for every 100 pounds you get rid of on your vehicle, you can pick up (on average) a tenth in the quarter. I thought that was pretty interesting considering how much excess weight I have in my truck, like the toolbox, spare tire, stock bumpers, rubber bed mat/drop-in bed liner, skid plates, etc. Hope this helps you beat that Chevy!

If Gunner's statement is true about shaving a tenth of a second for every 100 lbs then I can run a half a second quicker if I let my girlfriend watch instead of ride.

i have heard that statement to and yes dropping weight makes a difference. with my friend in the car i will run a 16.0 but with out him 15.8. and every 100 pounds is a tenth or more.i will drop the tail gate and take of some other components and we will see if i can get the dakota down to 15.6. add up the power to weight on the trucks shows that i have 2 more pounds to each hp. i would have to drop a lot weight or up the power.
ComeOn lmao

we took the trucks out and both me and him had sh!tty times. i run a best of 16.03 he ran a best of 16.2. i had drop at least a 100 pounds and the traction of the line was horrible. the ram air thing i made works great but for some reason the times werent. :( i think the winter gas has something to do with it. i might be going down to LACR and run the drag out there next weekend.
looking to get some 3.92s or 4.10s with LSD and a shift kit. than the truck should run 15s till it blows up!!

i have a 2004 dakota v8 ext cab 2wd and my brother has a 2000 dakota 5.3 ext cab 4x4. we both have exhaust and have raced many times and it's dead even. if one of us is faster i may be microscopicly faster, but i wouldn't bet any money on it. we both have exhaust and are both getting cams installed. we'll see when he gets his 210 duration and i get my 206.

the 5.3 is goin to be faster than the v8 dak. the 4.8/5.3 are based on the LS1 and they really open up with a cam install.
