I think the general way to get a single cab 5.3 into the 12's is:
Good sized cam
3k stall or bigger
Limited slip and 4.10's
Full exhaust
and a good tune.

That right there should at least put you at a LOOOW 13. Some bolt ons like Fans, underdrive pulleys, intake etc will net you at least another 2-3 tenths total

Yeah that's what I have planned. Just wanted to see how many NA 5.3s are in the 12s there are 4 that I know of on here so seeing if there were any others that I didnt know of. Not going for the record or anything but if I can get to Mid to High 12s with a 5.3 I will be plenty satisfied

Don't forget a good amount of weight reduction in addition to those mods.

you might not need a 3000 + stall converter to get in the mid 12's, but i'm biased lol.
