"2nd Run" New Mods hoping for a 12.9 is that impossible?
Where did you run these times? I installed a basic 112 kit + 1 size smaller pully on my friends 05 2wd, 5.3 EX cab and it went a traction limited 14.21 @97MPH in Ca with the Magnacharger tune. The truck was stock except for cat back exhaust. Another friend of mine has the same basic thing on a 5.3L SSR runs 14.50's in Las Vegas 2500' elv. Unless you live at high elevation you are getting robbed somewhere.

I would take it to the track and see what it runs. Try not to get caught up in the dyno numbers. When I modded the 5.3, I got stuck in the dyno numbers and I was frsutrated. I started going to the track and got the 5.3 into the 13.40's on the 22's. With the 6.0 @ 448/457, I went 12.5 with slicks, and 13.2 with 22's.

The intake temps @ 11# seem very low. You must have a large heat exchanger set up. Seems that the power past 4500rpm is really falling off. I put the 3.0 pulley on my 5.3 and the intake temps went through the roof. I made a ton of torque down low, but when I went WOT on the dyno, it was detonating and couldnt get a full run on the dyno. Intake temps reached high 100's.low 200's w/ timing around 10-12 degreees. I switched from a 3.0 to a 3.25 pulley and ran 16 degrees of timing and made 406rwhp.

I had better luck with more timing and less boost. Do you give an idea, here is how things progressed for me with my 6.0.

448/457 - GT2-3, TOG mid legths, true duals, 3.1 pulley at 5#

473/503 - same mods as above plus alky kit and 2.9 pulley and tune

503/526

More tuning got me to 512/535. All runs above were made on the same dyno. I made 545/565 on Rick's Dynopack without the 22's. I am not sure if the 22's would cost me 30rwhp, but that is the only difference I could think of.

That dyno graph looks like a tune that is aggressively pulling timing with IAT increase.

There are a lot of things I would have done differently if I knew the outcome. Wish I could've just done it all myself, at least it would have been done right.
