Default LSS 5.3 STS Turbo Truck

Anybody catch the article about the LSS Silverado truck with the STS turbo system in Sport Truck Magazine? Here are the numbers that the truck put down.

Stock Truck @ 4500ft
0-60 = 10.29
1/4 = 17.22@89

STS Turbo @ 4500ft
0-60 = 6.7
1/4 = 14.74@96.65

Those #s don't look right.

17.2 but at 89mph?? Is this a regular cab short bed because I don't think our trucks run 89mph stock otherwise, especially at 4500ft.

I live at 5000 feet and my truck ran about 17.0 at 80mph stock. Stock SS's run about 82 mph. I think 89mph is way high. It must be a typo.

The truck is a 2wd ECSB w/ 5.3 + 20x9.5 wheels & 295/40R20 tires. The track time with the turbo was with 6lbs of boost. The article doesn't say where or what track they tested the truck at.
