I think you could take him with your Harley, but I doubt it with the Expy.

Oh, my bad. Your sig has a "supercharged 03 Expy", and I must have read too quickly cause it looks like at a glace that you have 2 rigs. I was assuming the Harly had the mods and the Expy was only supercharged.

What does one of those Silverado SS's weigh in at?
I think would be the one deciding factor.
That being equal, your Expy should beat him. An LS2 will probably put similar power to the wheels, but not quite the same amount of torque, and certainly not the flat torque curve you will have.

Should be close any way you look at it.
Weight is what I'd think is your problem.
Keep in mind the SS is AWD, so traction advantage will go his way.
Are you actually going to do it or just talking about it? If you do, let us know the verdict.

I used to have a Silverado SS and from factory they only had 345 hp, not 395 hp. I don't think there will be a problem with you coming out on top......
Weight for the SS is 5300 lbs. Has the LQ9 engine, not the LS2. Runs a 14.9 sec 1/4 mile. Now if there are mods on the SS then it might be a different story.
Good luck and keep it safe!!

The Chevy SS weights in around 4947 LBS
Your truck comes in around 5600 Lbs
hes only got around 300hp or less at the tires so i think you would take him but it would be close, both HP to weight ratios are realy close!
