So I just finished painting my car and took it for its first drive.

Another 5.3l decides it wants to play. Hes already infront of me. This one I actually had to work, but still passed him.

So either I have alot more then I think I have, or these 5.3l's arnt what I thought they were Confused

I'm running mid 9's in the 1/8. Is that good, or so-so?

But I'm just happy its all back together and 1 color Rock on!

I still have some inside seam sealing to do, but I can do that whenever. I do need a right rear gfx piece, so if anyones got an extra, let me know.

no, It was semi dark by the time I finished and all my trim is dirty. So let me spray it off today and I'll take pics.

BTW, it wasnt the whole car I painted, just the fender. So it looks same as my siggy.

Mid to low 9 second 1/8th is good for a high 13 to mid 14 second 1/4mile pass.

Are you kidding???? I'd be surprised if a full size truck can get under 16 seconds.

Always nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Glad to here it's running

The LS powered trucks might hit 14's but 13's are definitely out of the question.

Pics are in the rust thread.

Thanks everyone, it was for sure a new experience.

So I should easly beat a 5.3l then? I thought they got better then that. If they can only get 14's, maybe 13's. Then I guess I got a little more then expected Smile

consider the fact that your about 1000-1500lbs lighter than the Silverados/Tahoes with the 5.3 in them.

I'm sure they might have more Hp numbers, but the power/weight ratio is in your favor.

Nissan titans hit high 14's stock. Some diesels can touch 14's stock as well. But I don't know about a 5.3.

I could drop a 5.3L truck with my Olds Aurora. The Aurora ran 16.0 flat on my G-tech. You guys are waaaay optimistic about the capability of these trucks. Even my tuned Duramax with a 5.5 second 0-60 was still in the 14s. And there is no question that a tuned Duramax can lay to waste any 5.3L.
