Subject: Anyone raced an SS Silverado?
IP: Logged

Message:
I raced an SS on the highway the other day and was wondering if anyone else has...we were dead even until he hit his speed limiter around 100 and I blew past him...was very surprised that a truck like that could merely hang with my '04 CC 4.7 5spd with intake,exhaust and nitrous (which I was out of so couldn't spray)

The SS is an apearance package as far as I know. I like the looks of them (only Cheby truck I like) but I'm pretty sure its the same 5.3 that the other 1500's get.

The SS has the 6.0L and is AWD. It's heavy though.

your probably thinking of the Joe Gibbs Silverado that is a whipple charged 5.3. Regular cab, five speed... etc etc. Price tag right around a new lightning too. It's production because Gibbs sells it right out of dealership... kinda like the Hennesey is considered a production car.

I think the one thing that the SS silverado gets that no other half ton is the 6.0L motor. I think the biggest the others get is the 5.3... unless the SS is on a 3/4 chassis.. maybe.. dont know that much about it.

just finished the last major problem. Old distributor went bad...

bought a mopar performance unit and it pulls a lot better on the top end and just all around runs better.


have you put that 239 to use yet?
