I know it's not glamerous but a lot of people have been asking what a stock 5.3L RCSB can do and I see way to many responses with high 15s as an answer. I though I'd post up my results to add weight to those who have been saying low 15s. Hehehe

That would lead me to believe they're pushing over 100 more HP at the wheels. (Roughly .1 for every 10hp, plus more weight). Something doesn't seem right......You're right though, that's a good time. A guy with a brand new "Hemi" 4x4 RCSB was running 16.4's at Firebird. That would still put him at 16.2's or so at a better track.

The VHOs have a lot more AVERAGE HP and TQ. I doubt they are over 100rwhp higher than a 5.3L but that average HP can make for a lot faster truck. That's why i always preach on the potential of the HD 6.0L trucks. I been smoked too many times by one to not see it's potential. Hahaha
There was a 5.3L truck with 3.73s and G80 that looked just like mine. He had a K&N FIPK and a muffler and he was running 15.25@89-90mph. He had all the stock weight items like the spare and stock 16" aluminum wheels.

I was pretty impressed when mine put down 280awhp with nothing but a ChokeMaster exhaust. Not bad for a "325hp" motor!
