Just got back from the track
Got a 05 chevy reg cab 2 wheel drive with a 5.3l long tube headers dual flowmasters cold air kit 222/224 566/568 on 112lsa comp cam and springs 3600 stall shift kit 3.73 and 28inch slicks. My best time was 9.27 with a 60ft time of 2.137 1/8th mile. Is that average? Our should it went faster?

your 60 ft should be alot better than that with a converter and slicks. when I had my 5.3 still in my truck it went 9.20's all day w/o headers or a cam just a converter and elec fans and a tune on 27'' et streets

Yes i was spinning more than i should've. I was footbrakin it to around 2000 then launchin. Truck was tuned by tsp,stall is a yank. I went 9.38 with street tires peedling it of the line. Think i need more gear or smaller slicks imo.

I had very similar times(I was a tiny bit faster) with similar mods in my sig. I've trapped as high as 81.x in the 1/8th but my best 60' is only a 2.1. I had horrible wheel hop which was the root of my problem. I'm hoping my new long bars fixed the problem.

I agree, should be much faster. I ran a 9.06 in the 1/8 and I don't have headers yet or nearly as much converter. My converter stalls to around 2500 or so. I also ran that time on the 20's which are just about 30" tall. We have a very similar build with yours having a little more agressive setup. You have some tuning to work on would be my guess.

I say faster also. My little 4.8 ext cab is only 1/10th slower than you with intake, headers, exhaust, and wheatley tune on 26" tires with crappy 3.42s and an open diff.
