I haven't made it to the track yet but did time my 0-60 at 7.50 seconds in full street attire and 3.42's.
How do you think i'd do in the 1/8 or 1/4?
Gotta get up to Infinion some time here soon just to try it once!

I would say low 15s like 15.2 no 1 has ever raced their l33 stock so we dont really know, mine is a calculation. But you do have a Z71 meaning your a bit heavy.

Calculation? How does that work?
Yeah, I think I am around 5300 lbs but havn't been weighed officially.
How much difference if i peeled the tailgate, spare, and chrome?

Agreed, that is the way I run.

My truck weighed in at 5250. It is an 01 ecsb 5.3. When I had a hypertech, old style volant, and 22's, it ran consistent 15.8's on 22's. This was at Infineon too! Everything runs a 2-3 tenths faster at Sacramento Raceway.

My brother has a VHO, with heavy forged steel 22's, and he ran consistent 15.5's. He is heavy though with a fat stereo system, steel tonneau cover. He has no mods excep a magnaflow muffler.

In conclusion, (lol), I would say that you would run between a 15.3 and 15.5 at Infineon and possibly a high 14 in Sacramento. No weight reduction. I would think that with your mods you would have similar output as my bro's vho, and maybe even less weight.

I ran a 16.8 with tune and exhaust, but that is at 4000ft. I ran a 16 in 4lo. The 3.42s really suck. Both ET MPH were close.

How did you get a L33 in a 2wd truck?
