No problem it happens. I think his whole "only" statement goes for under the hood but again thats just what I think. Hopefully he can shime in and end some of the confusion. I do see your point though.

WOW!!! stock motor??? I've never heard anything like it.
but there's a couple glitches in your story (as always)
so its a STOCK 5.3 with just a tune and turbos??
but in your vid it all the sudden it turns into a cammed 5.3 with a 75 shot??? what gives? no fueling upgrades? did you do the "extra cubes" mod??
anyway... its probably bigger than you say, with more spray than you say... but you do you, and have a good time doing it LOL...

look let me make a deal with you, how about you buy my truck and if the truck does not have what i said it has i'll refund you the money and you get to keep the truck, i won't miss it or will hurt my pokets. i can always build me another one and even faster with stock internal wait till i go to houston and come home with 10.6 what are you gonna say then? that it's a twin turbo

Very believable to me, 5.3 16psi and nitrous = 11.11, a 6.0 with just alone 16psi would be a mid 10 second pass, it all looks good to me.
Congrats casper and too bad you can't go to the track again or you would of had your 10 second slip already, good luck.

once again, the doubters....
its funny cus it hasnt been done, somehow turns into it CANT BE DONE.
he is a stock 5.3 with bolt ons/cam/75 shot/built tranny/eaton rear
so many damn haters here i swear, instead of appreciating
but its cool. edgar wont lose any sleep over the doubters...he will just push the limits on this motor, till he gets the 346 going

I honestly have no interest in buying your truck man....besides I'd rather build one than buy one anyway. Not interested in any "callouts" or "deals" I don't want to tear it down and make bets blah blah blah like has been brought up in other threads before either... Its just pretty hilarious how if someone questions your setup all hell breaks loose... If you are running those times with that setup then good on ya... But there will always be some skeptics. That's all I'm saying.

The one thing I don't understand is why would someone lie about their setup? What is the gain in that? IMO, the shops down in the valley produce some very nice and fast vehicles.... I always hate coming into one of these threads and people doubting everything or trying to find holes in the story....
Looking foward to seeing what the forged motor will do!! Congrats BTW!!!
