Here is my slip from that run:

Ignore the fact that I was sleeping at the tree
He got me off the line pretty bad. I launched at 3 lbs. and at the 53 second mark in the video you will see the truck torque steer to the right and I let out and get back in it. You'll also hear the trans slipping at the 59 second mark, once again I let out for a moment so it would shift and got back in it.

The truck has a 100% untouched factory engine, stock converter, and the trans was going on that pass.

I do however know of a 5.3L RCSB Silverado with the GT37 kit @ 8 lbs., a 4.56 gear, and a Gibson Catback that runs 12.4x@117 mph.

I guarantee that if I wouldn't have let out twice it would have went quicker, but who knows. The next pass it went 13.1 @ 109 mph with the trans slipping even worse. So to date, the best ET is 12.88 and best mph is 109.-Rick

from the looks of the run, I'd venture to say you are above 600rwhp, when you get the tranny fixed I'd love to see the dyno #'s! btw, thanks for taking the time to actually post that info up.Congrats!
