109 mph out of a 5.3 na is incredible! I managed that same mph with a 6.0 on 9 psi a few weekends ago. Thats great for you, but it makes me wanna through in the towel on my truck.

Awesome man! How big is your cam? Reason I ask is because this douchebag with a GTO keeps telling my brother that the 231/237 cam in his 5.3 Chevelle is way too big. Just want to let him know that the fastest 5.3 N/A trucks are running decent sized cams.

im running a 230/236 6** 6** 113+2....which is more of a n20 cam...although, A friend of mine who happens to hold the 5.3 record on n20 is running a 23*/24* cam with 4.88 and a 4l80e. it just depends on what you want to run n/a or n20

that must be a very good setup. like litredevil said years ago there could possibly be a n/a 5.3 capable of 11's such as yourself. keep up the great work. what's the specs of the gear set in the trans?

from looking at your setup on your sig, if it is current...thats a badass setup, id change cams, but killer setup nonetheless...racing although fast paced sport, involves alot of patience....patience to get everything just right...although preparation is vital too.. best of luck to you...and dont give up....let be an inspiration to get your trucking running better.
