Re: 5,3L Truck Times?
Are you talking about the V8 camaros and firebirds? I wouldnt think they would be that slow! Mid to high 14's maybe, but an auto tranny V8 F body running low 15s and 16s, thats bad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I will bet that there quite a few v8 guys with auto trannys that would disagree with you.

I am the president of a rather large (85 paid members) club for F-bods in Northern Cali so I am VERY familiar with what they all run in stock or modded form Hehehe.
My T/A was about as slow as they come when stock and even I pulled an avg. of 13.7s@102. (2.73 gears, auto, raceweight of 3700lbs). Any F-bod LS1 running in the 14s has either a bad driver or a broken car. LOL

Re: 5,3L Truck Times?
Probably a 14.5 but that's just a wild guess. I would like to run my truck at Houston some time. It seems like all the trucks at the track around here are so much slower than the Houston guys. I ran a best of 14.68 and no other 5.3s are even close.

Re: 5,3L Truck Times?
I have a sbrc 2wd. 5.3, w/3.42, and w/700 miles it ran 15.70. W/4000 miles, it ran 15.20@92 mph, and w/4.56 gears, and a HPP3 w/87 oct tuning and 8000 miles, it ran 14.59@95.6 mph, and I haven't even got a good run yet. The 14.59 run, the tract. cont kicked in a little, and didn't have a chance to play with shift points.
