    Ever heard the saying there is no replacement for displacement? Living proof. BTW, descreened MAF is probably killing your power.

    Get rid of your hypertech and get a custom tune- Nelson Performance. Get you a maf with the screen in it.

    well the poweraid TBS does nothing, and the descreened MAF has been proven to loose power on these trucks, and IMO the hypercrap is virtually worthless.

    With a bone stock 4.8 and a custom tune from nelson performance your 4.8 would pull your buddys 5.3 with just the K&N drop in and the Borla catback and do it at any speed.

    For what you paid for the Hypertech you could have had a custom tune, and free retunes for life.

    Well...4.8L vs. 5.3L. That should pretty much tell the story. Also, what gear you guys have? Sounds like you have 3.73's and he has 3,42s...
    Yeah, what Mike said. How about this...get a Nelson tune, put in the stock MAF, get rid of the TBS...and if your friend STILL runs you, I'll give you $100...

    your 3 inch exhaust could be a problem too.

    in my eyes 4.8 vs 5.3 is a big difference.... ive raced stock to stock same trucks just different motors and my 5.3L put on about 2 to 3 trucks on the other one....
