I would call that about even mod for mod and your boy in the L got his *** handed to him. http://video.performancetrucks.net/P...2-535E3E4BC5AA

The L comes with 3.73's and the supercharger was not counted but the aftermarket KB pullies that are worth a lot of power (probably atleast worth 100 hp) were counted. I think the pullies offset the wet kit on the Silverado.
Here is the breakdown:
Silverado Lightning
4.8l 5.4
4.10's 3.73's
Dual Flowmasters Magnaflow Exhaust
3000 Stall Kenne Bell Throttle Body
NX 125 Wet Shot Kenne Bell Pullies (lower and upper)
MT ET Streets Nitto 555's
Re-Tuned Re-Tuned
CAI CAI
I honestly think that is a fair matchup, yeah the Silverado has a little more gear but the L has shorter tires. Also the Silverado has a 4.8 and the L has a 5.4. I would invite that same L to come back for another run with 4.10's and a stall, because I spun all the way through first gear on that run ayway. I would be a great run, hope he forks out the dough and wants to run again, and if he does I will get it on video and post it, win, lose, or draw.

Now, if it was a KB blown L, then that's just sad on his part. Either that or you're runnin faster than I think. And how tall of a tire are you running?
(can't see the vid, my comp won't let me.)

If you'd like to know more about mods for the L's and what they're worth, here's an interesting read.

And yes, stock size is 28 in tall. He may have had shorter tires for DR's tho, never know.
