Those are awesome times! I used to feel special to have a low 14 truck N/A it is becoming common. It does make me feel a bit better to say I have 13.4 slips thanks to some funny gas and before the end of the year i should be 13s easy N/A and 12s on the bottle.

I just want to make a point for the 5.3/6.0 questioners. My truck 6.0 with a tune, 2800 stall and similar in weight(2500 rclb/1500 ecsb) ran 14.2 vs. 14.1 with cam, tune, CAI. Point being we both have great times but the 5.3 took a cam($800 plus) to catch the 6.0.

I am not saying everyone swap in a 6.0 but for the $800+ of the cam you nearly have the 6.0 and every mod beyond there makes more power then it would have on the 5.3.

Same track, cooler weather, higher stall up, and put some 91 octane instead of 89. Last sunday i only stalled to 2100. this time is stalled up to 2400. i wanted to stall higher but it felt like it wanted to push the truck.

Looks like the extra points in octane & weather helped out. Work on that 60ft & you'll be in the 13's. Guess you didn't try off idle.

his off idle is when he went 14.3 i think

he could use a looser converter or gears.
if he keeps this up his wife will end up making him buy her something other than a Infinity lol

He said he tried from 1000. I did 1.9 & 2.0 trying to stall it up. 1.8 leaving off idle. His 60's from last runs or close to the same as new ones.

He's doing something right, he's matching my cam'd 6.0 times minus 2 mph!

Next time you want to waist a extra 10-20 cents per gallon just paypal me the money. I could put it to use for making power. The high octane fuel was a waist of time and money unless you changed the tune.

the tune is actually set up for 93oct not 89oct. that's why the truck runs better on 93oct. the sad thing is i bet it was till mixed fuel vs a full tank of 93oct.
