you're talking close to what a 4.3 S10 weights. regular cab regular bed Duramax is going to be over 6k lbs stock.

and it's really closer to 4-5 seconds faster, diesels aren't THAT slow

The camaro is an automatic though, I dont know why GM made so many automatic camaros vs. standard camaros but its really a disgrace. Lets be honest, we all know how GM trannies work out, so i predict if it dont blow up, you'll win.

You mean how GMs autos tend to have less drivetrain loss than others? as well as in general just being better for drag racing? (3.06:1 first gear)

GM did something very right with their autos.

triple chipping a truck isn't possible

all a chip is really is a resistor in between the boost sensor and the ecu. it only fools the ecu into believing the engine is getting more boost than it really is, so the ecu starts dumping more fuel into the engine to try and compensate for that "extra" boost

THATS BECAUSE AUTOMATICS WIN RACES. IT IS NOT A DISGRACE.

6 Speeds impress high school kids and automatics win races. The 4L60 is a great transmission under stock and even bolted power. Ran mine up to 400 plus on the bottle and never had a issue. That same trans is sitting in the garage awaiting a 3rd gen project. If you think you can out shift a automatic then you need to do a little more research.

the chips are a little more sophisticated than that. they remap the pcm and add timing. i dont know if any american turbo applications have PCM controlled waste gates however, but some chips can control the boost pressure as well.

and while you cannot "stack" chips for added effect, some chips come with multiple settings and a little switch to toggle between them. the bully dog has like 6 settings doesnt it? from 40hp to around 120?

i know you can stack chips but this kid says he has three handheld chips that plug into the.....brain fart... the plug in on the inside of the truck. which i thought u could only use one, then one on the ecu.
