I want to get my truck in the 13's. I have very little knowledge about performance and racing. What are the next steps to taking my truck to that level? Went to the track last night with two passes of 15.67 and 15.63. All that is done now are 4:10's, CAI, and a Bully dog tune that I put on to fix my speedometer. I am wanting a nice quick street truck that can hold it's own but yet stay reliable. This truck is my every day driver. Would really love if someone could give me a list of things that i need to buy and install that can get me headed to my goal. I understand that a power adder might be needed in the end to get me to my goal, but am wanting to start with the motor. I figure if I have a good solid motor at the base then a turbo, supercharger, or NOS will just be icing on the cake. Thanks in advance for all of ya'lls help to the novice guys like me.

 

Long tubes, cam, stall and ditch the bully dog for a custom tune. Done high 13s

 

exactly, check out the new tsp longtubes. there is a thread right here in the same section. full exhaust and a custom tune from a sponsor will put you in the 14s and then you can look for a cam/torque converter setup.

 

Depends a lot on weight too, is it RC, EC, CC? SB, LB? 4x4 or 2wd?

 

It is a 2wd CC... What is a good cam to buy for my set up?

 

I was in the 13's before the 60cc heads. Had the LT's, cam, and tune on ECSB, and on 20's. I wish I had an oppty to run her on the track with the heads...

 

Hey Lady what cam? Or does anyone have a recommendation for a cam that will be good for my application?

 

The cam that I had in the 5.3 was a TSP 220r ; 220/220, .581/.581, 112 Lsa. It's a nice cam.

 

That is the brand of cam i was looking at. I liked the 220 as well as the 224. Does anyone know what cc's a factory head is? I am trying to figure out if the factory heads are good enough to just work them or if i need to buy some after market heads?

 

63cc are the OEM. I just sold my 60's that were fabulous! Got them from Patriot Performance new.
