Trick Turbo SBE 5.3L Finally in the 10s
Hey all thought i would show a few pics of my truck at the track yesterday. Finally got into the 10s ended up running a 10.91 @ 124.45 on 18lbs of boost on Michelin 265/60/18 radials which I aired down 22psi. Once I got the shock settings and Cal Tracs preload dialed in she was 60ft'ing 1.65 consistently which I'm really stoked on. I'm confident I could get this thing into the 1.5x range with a fresher set of tires and some more track time and maybe a 2-step. For now I'm really happy with this stock bottom end 5.3. Thank you Atomic for reviewing my logs while I was at the track! I never would have turned up the boost without your reassurance!

Thanks man, as you know well with 4WD and a good shifting auto trans, the runs are pretty damn effortless. I've had 12 sec stick shift cars that were way scarier going down the track. This truck just stays in the groove the whole way and just hits the gears hard. I don't think I'll ever own anything but shift kitted auto's again.
Thanks, my truck hasn't been without issues, no one has, but in a sea of hellcats, cts-v's, magnacharged camaros, it still takes work to make a truck fast. I think that's why they get a lot of respect.
10's is awesome man, super happy for you! As always you do great work on your truck. Atomic is awesome as well, very very knowledgeable and helpful person.
