what motor do you have?
also if you run Nitrous and run a 13 that wont be considered N/A..
swap your gears. go to either a 3.73, 3.90, or a 4.10
look into a stall.
also ditch the hand held, and find someone****cough*cough* "sponsors"------------> cough*cough******** to tune your ride..
really need to know what motor you got to give you any info tho
later,
Daniel

With out any major mods and a SMALL shot of nitrous I ran 13.7's with less then 300 cid. If you want to hit low 13's it is not very hard.

5.3+Gears+stall+tune+lsd=and your about there.

a good exhaust and nitrous on top of that and you tickle 12's

i agree with what everyone has said, get a tune other than the handheld, nitrous, and a stall, you should be there.

yep if I can reach 13's with a 4.8L N/A than you should be able to with your 5.3L
