Any body have any dealings with the chevy 6.2 liter at the track?
Just curious if any one had been to the track and run against the new chebies? My brother just bought a new 2009 4 x 4 that runs sweet. But we have not had a chance to get them to the track.

I haven't seen one yet. We saw a magazine test recently which featured a 6.2 against our 5.7 in quad cabs. The 6.2 was a tenth faster, but was killed by the 5.7 when loads were added. Some interesting information can be taken from this.
They did not disable traction control on anything. I am not sure what that does to the Chev but it hurts the Tundra for sure. One other very important consideration....the 6.2 is not available in an RCSB....you can only get them in a fully burdened "performance bus".
I think with nannies disabled and racing unloaded in 4HI the 5.7 would have beaten the 6.2, as evident in the results of the loaded races. Throw in an RCSB and it would be a slaughter. I suppose someone could counter by saying they could use a Chev RCSB for reduced weight. Bzzzt, wrong!! Those only come with a microscopic 5.3.

What does RCSB stand for? I've seen the term mentioned in many posts, but I can't figure out what it stands for.
Go easy on me please, Ken
RCSB = Regular cab, Standard Bed (6.5ft)
DCSB = Double cab, Standard Bed
DC/RC-LB = Double/Regular Cab, LONG Bed
CM = Crew Max - only offered in Short bed form (5.5ft) as of now atleast

I had my way with a 2007 Vortex Max!! no problem, even gave him three tries to redeem himself, then the other night a newer 4+4 double cab V max came on to me, it looked stock. Now that truck was fast!!! Between 50--and 90 mph I only had him by 3/4 of a truck length!! I didnt want to play any more with him---LOL . At the drag strip I ran a SS Silverado extra cab had him by 8 or 10 truck lengths in the 1/4 mile

Chevy just released the 3:73 rear end for the 6.2l crew cab trucks - this will make the races alot closer. These trucks have 400+ HP, 410+ TQ, 6 speed trannies, and are lighter than the Tundras - You're gonna need a few mods to consistently beat one of these trucks...
The trucks they used in the unloaded/loaded races in the comparison tests mentioned earlier had 3:42 rear ends.

I'm guessing here, but the only difference between the two was probably a $200 tune to remove the GM torque management nannies. The Tundra doesn't seem to use much TM, but GM stock has *a lot*. Removing it is night and day for low-end pull. Consider that you ran that close against a 6.0/4-spd (they don't put 6-spds in ext cabs yet).

In the old days there were short box and long box pickups, ~6.5' and 8' respectively. Recently with the arrival of the ~5' box in double cab / Crewmax style trucks, the 5' box took the "short" label, with the 6.5' becoming the "standard" box length.

The GM 6.2 is a really good engine. My dad has a 07 yukon denali and a 07 Tundra Crew max.
The Tundra has much more low end torque compared to the denali. The denali does pull hard up top, but for towing the Tundra just walks all over it.
We were getting ready for a trip to Colorado for elk hunting and my dad had just put new 33" toyo AT tires on his Tundra.
I had our 20' trailer loaded down with my a yamaha rhino and a polaris ranger Crew. I pulled it down the interstate and with the denali and it was struggling to maintain interstate speeds. It just couldn't stay in 5th gear and kept jumping down to 4th on hills.
ONce I got to the tire shop I unhooked the same exact trailer and hooked it up to the Tundra. The difference was stunning. The tundra held 5th no problem and even would hold 6th running low rpms with the exact load behind it. It also acclerated and handled way better than the denali did when loaded down.
We hauled that load all the way to CO and by time we got back plans were in order to sell my 07 Sierra in order to buy a tundra.
Also don't buy all the bs about how the cheby has 3.42 gears. It does but the transmission is geared to compensate.
The chevy is also a good deal lighter than the tundra, but still isn't any faster.

It sounds like they are having to use more and more aggressive camshafts to get peak hp numbers from two valve pushrod engines that the powerband is getting compromised, i.e. not as wide, less area under the curve?.
