Beat by a Chevy!

Well raced a new Duramax tonight kinda rolling start, but he won.

If my trans didnt take 3 yrs to shift from 1st to 2nd i probaby would have hung in there but he pulled right on his shift. It was real easy to tell........

U can see what i have in my sig, but the wire isnt taped and box was on 5x5.......

I hung right about the center of his truck he never gained anything else......

Did it do ok?

Need that convertor and DTT would have done him in i'm sure......

They are what 300hp?

So where would that put mine at?

Tap the wire before you make us all look bad!

ON a 99 auto without the wire tapped and box on you would be some where around 230-250Hp at the rear wheels, all depends on how stronge the truck is stock. I have seen the 99 auto any where from 170-190 at the rear wheels.

The comp without the wire tapped is about the same as an EZ.

Considering the year and what you have you did very well.

A different transmission with the mods you have probably is not going to make you go any faster, it will only help once you tap that pump wire, then it will make you smile.

The DTT was the first mod I did...and it made a big difference! I think your right...that would have been enough to take him. May or may not show up on dyno but the increased responsiveness is amazing.

Kinda hard to play with those guys...

You probably didn't know if he had anything done. I think the "Durawhats" run pretty good the way they are stock.

I agree, I don't know if you could of taken him with just the EZ. Tap that pump wire (of course using a blue chip pump cover) and you will fair much better. O ya through a lock up switch on there too. That will cut about 2 tenths of a 60' time.

I think duracrap has the highest amount of power that can be added with a chip, so that means just a chip and they can go fast. I looked over at banks site and there saying there chip can go 155 more hp. that + 300 stock hp = 455hp that a lot

don't forget that your running 35" tires with 3.54:1 gears....that is also killing some of your "off the line" speed....
