I am looking forward to these days once I get my Procharger installed. I raced a 2012 Silverado the other day with the 5.3 and put about 3 car lengths on him between the first intersection and the next one. He pulled up with his window down and just laughed and said that's not the 5.3 in there is it. I said nope and kept on driving LOL

I think I saw a guy with that exact setup on gmfs.com

You really should watch what you post, never know who is looking.

I am afraid not my friend, but the X.7 aluminum block is actually a x.7 cause its smaller that the X you first posted. The LXX is not a very good option cause the two last numbers dont match what everyone else is running so you my friend, are only gonna run some 10.20's with your set up because the split lobes are .xx apart and you cant run a 1XX LSA on a cam like that.

hahaha this just gets better and better!!!


I usually just say its a CAI, tune, and a vacuum leak. The smart guys will laugh and then ask cam specs. I don't mind telling them. But im not going to go down the list of parts everytime people ask what I have.

I think im going to start saying TMTL (too much to list) hahaha
