Fastest N/A LS-based truck (5.3,5.7,6.0)?

[bluecajun5.3]

we're still weighing in around 4100 to 4200 in race trim. also another thing to be considered is, aerodynamics aren't on our side on the top end.

I can believe it..... I mean these are regular cabs with single piece driveshafts. I mean one of these trucks outweighs a stock Camaro by around 300lbs. Now, I&#39;ll be impressed when an Extended cab or longbed does their times.......hopefully, I&#39;ll get close....

A stock camaro weighs about 3600 lbs these trucks are weighing over 4000 lbs, like cajun said they are a lot less aerodynamic, and they are giving up around 21 c.i., and remember my own truck weighs about the same as theirs(4190) with a similarly modded LS1 and they are running over 8 tenths of a sec. faster in the 1/8th mile than me. I am a regular at the drag strip, I pay attention to alot of street cars & their E.T., it is baffling to me how these two trucks are able to run such impressive times with such little modifications. Now don&#39;t get me wrong, I&#39;m not saying they aren&#39;t doing it, but I would just like to see it for myself.

You know though, I&#39;ve only run my truck once, I need to put my 3.73&#39;s in & get a better tune, also I haven&#39;t weighed em but I&#39;ll bet my 20" wheels are pretty F-ing heavy, plus I need some slicks so I can get full use of my converter. I also need to do some tweaking on it i.e. reset my pinion angle (5 1/2 deg. needs to be 3 deg.) & remove my swaybar & some minor weight reduction. Maybe that&#39;ll get me 8 tenths of a second, but I doubt it.

well not sure on the sway bar I have never taken it off so i can&#39;t tell you if it helps or not, but the 20s are heavy and cost you time,weight reduction helps alot, your truck should weigh in around 3800 without all the weight, gearing will help alot If you runnigng the 3.42 you will gain .3 in the 1/4 with 3.73 gears and .5 with 4.10 gears, slicks are going to help you get out of the whole alot faster. Your rozzi deaps weigh about 80 lbs a piece. good luck.

that&#39;s true moto. what your talking about should nock off alot.

80 lbs a piece?

[vv8]

[bluecajun5.3]

I feel sorry for his brake pads.

I was going to run last night but weather was not good. Conditions permitting and some fresh M1 i&#39;ll be making my first run next Weds. evening.
With current setup and no weight reduction what&#39;ll i do ya think?
I would love to break into the 13&#39;s, think i got a chance?
