My opinion on the original question is that the L is infact a total package. We can put a blower on our trucks but we dont have the drive train to take it. Our transmission are seemingly made of plastic. And our suspensions is made for general duty not drag racing. The 5.4 in the L’s is also built for the abuse that served; Parish was doing it with a basically stock 6.0. In order for Parish to meet his goal he has to shave over a second off. Once in the 10’s even getting a few tenths will be hard. Parish is also doing it as a hobby/addiction, NOT a profession like some of the L’s he is chasing. With all the “slurping” aside, that is commendable. He is up against guys with much more money and better shops. Should be interesting.
A final thought.
It saddens me that GM will not make a true performance truck.

What did I miss here? Ford vs. Chevy.... This battle will never end....Run what u brung!! And that's it. My truck with a 5.3,radix(6psi), K&n intake and cat back ran a 13.9 on 20's with limited traction. The L's at the track here with intake and cat-back run 13.8 with limited traction. Pretty comparalbe.

As far as mods for mods, I can't even find a new L anywhere locally, let alone one that is modded. I think all you guys from other states yanked them off the market. I'm just anxious to see one run in person. I've seen 1, and only 1 in my town, and that was when I had the little stock 4.8L. Needless to say, I left him alone. It was a beautiful truck, though. Maybe I'll get my chance to line up with one someday. If the damn Powerstrokes would ever quit trying to beat me.
They never give up.
