Cheap 13's

[pl4yboy]

i personally think you can do it, get with allen, on the budget build, a cam 220/220 or 224, headers, and heads, you can find the cam rather cheap through out the web ( other sites ) heads, i got a set for ya , assembled even a cam, you can get this for less 1500.00 headers would be the only thing you'll need new.. unless you get lucky and find a set on the net.. but you'll have to do the work forself to make this a budget.. i personally domt think it would take much to get a RCSB in the 13s now how low would be another story....

Headers... who needs them? There happens to be a 6.0 on this site running 12.3's on a with ported and polished manifolds. =)

Ok just want you guys opinions. When my truck gets a 5.3 what do you think the cheapest way to get it in the 13's is. Spray isn't an option, unless I wanna pay either massive insurance or massive fix-it tickets and impound fee's. Yeah I want to go faster than that eventually but for now I think a 13 truck on the streets would be fun.

I'm running K&N FIPK, Pacesetter LT's, Offroad Y-pipe, flowmaster system with a series 40 muffler, Crane Cam's 212/218, 918 springs and a 4.56 rear gear running on 31.5" diameter tires with a local guys tune, stock tranny and stock stall. If you had a stock diameter drag slick, you could put this set-up in the 13's in the 1/4 mile and 8's in the 1/8th.

When did you add the sig?

Thanks guys I guess I can't do it as cheap as I thought (thinking about $1500) on top of the new 5.3, but some of you guys should really pay attention better I don't need a stall, the trucks a standard and will stay a standard, unless I lose my left leg in a terrible accident lol. And HIC leave my poor mud flaps alone I hate them too but rock chips are worse, and as far as the cheap bike goes, 1983 Honda CB650 12.42 for $600.

Since it is a standard just replace new stall with new clutch and plenty of track time.

Yeah, everyone is right on track with the mods needed. But a 13 sec truck like yours is going to need a better tranny than the NV3500 that is in it now. Some people say that it can handle the power...but then again people say that about a 4L60e. I would try and to a T-56 swap into it as soon as you can.

That's not true.....it's just when you start adding them all up that it get's expensive!!

I'd say 13's would be fairly easily done for $1500 with a RC stick...

TSP has the Pacesetter headers for $269
Dual Exhaust $250 (around here)
TSP Torquer v.2 or v.3 cam kit $600 (springs and rods come with it)
Move your MAF to right in front of the intake and add a cone filter straight out front.

I'm so tight that my small list of mods seemed really expensive. Maybe it was because I did it all at once?
