my '97 cc 5.2 auto was running 16.10-16.40 bone stock. the guy probly didnt
know how to run a truck in the 1/4 mile. he prolly didnt torque it up a bit
to make the truck fly at launch and let it shift on its own at 4500 rpms.
thats why the thing went 16.17. get me behind the wheel i guarantee a 15
second timeslip!
