Now seeing that this truck ran 13.6 with minor mods and taller gears I am getting pumped. I realize my truck is a bit heavier but I believe if my research is correct the LY5 5.3 have a bit better flowing heads and intake? Thanks for the great write up and hope for the future of my new truck!
Wow those are some killer times for the build. You are right about the 243 heads and the better intake. With a healthy cam and stall you should have a monster on your hands. Boltons and gears got you to 13.6 is very impressive. I bet stickie tires, cam stall and 150 shot could drop you over a second.
