Turbo Big Block 8.1 Silverado Hits the Track

[@mikerider4073]

"I'm hooked and I'm upgrading everything- new suspension, new axles, new steering, more power, better transmission" Mrs. Tolman is like, "Here we go", while watching this. Haha great work, it looks like a blast.

[@kamarileland7116]

i know I am kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new movies online?

[@geraldvictor3467]

[@geraldvictor3467]

@Kamari Leland you are welcome xD

[@michaelbrown5601]

Drift runs looked like a hoot! This channel is such fun to watch. Keep it up 👍

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks! Will do!

[@jwg34]

That thing sounds so good

[@doug81337]

It was a toss up between the in truck and outside view as far as which was bringing more of a devilish grin....I'm thinking I need to try this now!😄😎😎😎

[@LawrenceTolman]

i think everyone should try this at least once

[@yourfriendfarming758]

Impressive, great job 👏. Great job at putting everything together. 👍

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thank you very much!

[@richardharvey8939]

Great as always

[@suprafahrer6453]

Having fun is the best part, learn from the trucks weak points and improve them. Nothing better then your home built hands on project. Great video

[@LawrenceTolman]

Very true!

[@macpappy3461]

Great job LT. I'm following and watching all ur builds.

[@LawrenceTolman]

Awesome, thank you!

[@tommoon2700]

Hell yes brother she performed great! Love the sidewayz action says alot about your capability of driving!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thanks 👍

[@teaguegearhart9851]

14.3. That a boy. I agree 15 run with drift looks more fun than clean. Good combo.

[@keitharcher5723]

Thanks for sharing this. Great content! Love that we're starting with something simple and not far from stock and then the plan is to improve it. Love it!

[@ronniecardy]

Your truck 🚚 sounds good. Nice to get to play away from work 💪

[@justinlhtx]

I saw my boy Shawn’s blue f150

[@LawrenceTolman]

that was an awesome truck

[@peterjacobs6290]

Nice driving.

[@RacingByrds]

Done with Style!!! It was cool watching you get faster!!! HorsePower is easy; Brakes, Suspension, and TIRE!!! Start with that, but don’t forget the most important upgrade... The Driver Mod!!! Seat time is key. Get the Ugly truck setup and don’t mess with it, just drive and have Fun!!! We can’t wait to see how you do at the next event!!!

[@bennysmith3858]

Man I'll never be able to have anything that cool.

[@TheBPHero]

8:24........ 👂 🤤

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, that truck there is badass

[@speedwack]

There's some pretty serious metal there...

[@brucenaylor2043]

Very cool 😎

[@AndyR1982]

For brakes, i dont know if the Silverado git the same ones as the Tahoe, but the factory upgrade is 07 and newer Tahoe calipers and rotors and swap to the factory hydraboost and stainless braided front lines. Works wonders for a 7000lb Suv should help the truck. Also you should be able to get all the rear disc hardware from a tahoe if the Silverado is drum. But get the 01 to 06 rear stuff as it is larger than the 07 and up. Edit, they do require a minimum of 17 inch rim as they are too big for a 16

[@snappyaj9053]

I think his is the same as mine, a 2000 so the rear is disc but the Tahoe has bigger discs and better calipers. Some folks even go to the police SUV rears as it’s a thicker disc - I just did the 05 front and SUV rear. Hydroboost is next.

[@AndyR1982]

Right, i try to do the best factory upgrades possible. That way if you need a replacement part, you can hit a part store and not have to wait for summit or jegs. Hell the 8.5 10 bolt in my nova has the disk setup from a 4th gen fbody. Bolts right together with some mods for the parking brake

[@keithalbrecht4785]

All that maters is you had fun steppin' on the loud peddle!!! Looked like a lot of fun out there!!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

it was a blast!

[@DrRob-rt2lf]

Build a OBS Chevy next please

[@LawrenceTolman]

I Want to!

[@cyclonekevin6199]

Upgraded brakes and fluid is needed.

[@LawrenceTolman]

yup, sure wouldn't hurt

[@lprisuta]

With an automatic, body roll, and no hydro/e -brake drifting is hard to make look pretty. But as far as it being slow, Most of my initiations are between 60-100 mph depending on the track. Lots of the technical tracks the drifting is between 35 and 60 in the middle of the run. My 8.1 2500 is my tow pig for my drift rig.

[@johncholmes643]

That blue 96ish F150 is an absolute amazing piece of work.

[@gocart09]

If you don't want to It's been big money on brakes You can swap to the four piston caliper that's on the newer silverados The disc is the same but you get more bite with the newer style caliper You got to put a washer or something in it to space it but apparently that's a pretty awesome mod that I plan on doing myself I haven't done it yet so you might have to do a little bit of digging

[@LawrenceTolman]

I've seen a few guys do the conversion, and it sounds like it would be a worthwhile upgrade!

[@Silkmaster4200]

I wouldn't go too high gearing on the axle. 3.73's be good enough. Main thing good set of wide tires.

[@johnpurdum8126]

Curious about the gas situation. Did they have fuel at the track, or was there a place to stop and get some fuel? I was thinking that the trucks in the competition would have very little fuel in them for weight savings.

[@LawrenceTolman]

There was a gas station about 1/4 mile from the track so no problem fueling up

[@snappyaj9053]

Looks like so much fun! That big block just sounds amazing. I was curious why you ran with the rear and passenger seats still in. Pounds matter! Thinking about a 6L90E or spacing 1st and 2nd wider in the 4L80E?

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah pounds do matter, but the effort/results ratio likely wouldn't make a huge difference with the final results of the event from just taking out the interior...

[@snappyaj9053]

@@LawrenceTolman you’ve got your baseline now, can’t wait to see how you Improve!

[@savagebuiltperformance]

Looked like a lot of fun out there🏁👍 #ExtCabs 4 the win!

[@andrewwest2417]

that girl spinnnninnn

[@ruubguus4321]

👍💯

[@calimero1569]

super video mate. Whats your mpg lol

[@LawrenceTolman]

MPG? never heard of those

[@brianjones2807]

Auto.. my 2 cents for these tracks other than what you've done and mentioned is good shifter/manual valve body..hope you get the big # of subscribers needed to keep this dream rolling!

[@LawrenceTolman]

I hope so too

[@deejay5411]

this truck turned out sweet

[@carlstephens1532]

After thinking about this video, I'm still fantasing about awd. I have an 8.1 suburban with awd and have been in autocross before , hmmmmm

[@8__D]

Very nice driving, truck sure is a handful right now, it’ll be interesting to see how much you can improve it.

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! Exciting future... :-)

[@JadXtreme]

LS Fest calls it a countryside cruise. It sure looked like you had a good time

[@willbill808]

Driving trucks hard is like driving 60s-70s muscle cars hard, same kind of suspension geometry

[@carlstephens1532]

I understand that you bought along version of the Chevy line up but you probably should have purchased a short bed. You will benefit in the drag racing arena but you will comprise in other arenas , love this content. Keep it going.

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, a short bed would turn a lot better for sure

[@mechanicsinherited7079]

When's ugly truck going to cleetus and cars?

[@LawrenceTolman]

I'd like to go to one, but most I've seen are a long distance away

[@johnmirbach2338]

😁👍✌👌🖖😎
