13.5 at over 100 sound good for a bolt on DD, when are you hitting up the track

I agree these are good numbers, however some bolt-ons and certainly a tune will void factory warranty. I am looking at factory vs. factory numbers at 87 octane. I am in sales and my employer pays my fuel bill so I am somewhat concerned to both pay more per gallon (checked today and premium is $.40/gal more than regular) AND possibly get 1.5-3 MPG less than my current 5.3L is getting. Just don't want to mess up a good thing but definetely want to upgrade my truck both in power and features.

The 6.2 needs a tune and then they come alive

There are several guys running high to mid 12's on NA 6.2's. How can you beat that for a DD? I'd go for a 6.2 over a 5.3 any day.

You two guys have almost same set ups, and almost same hp/tq numbers. Only difference is he has a asp UD pulley, which give him that little extra bit. And it could be a diff dyno
