if you have a gibbs blower it did not come with the 3.3 pulley. Check the past few super Chevy magazines, there was a write up on that truck there.

I would guess low 14's, high 13's on a good day.

You asked a question (two different posts) and it was answered.


IF you do have a 3.3 on there, then explain to me how you did it. I know for a fact that the Gibbs blowers have a pressed on 3.6 pulley and if you "pull" it off it will screw up the snout. If you think you will run better, PLEASE prove me wrong. Honestly, I hope it does, it will be great for his business. I am sure you put headers, that is pretty much one of the easiest mods around and most ANYONE can do it. Hate to be a dick here, but I have had a truck that was modded just about as far as you could take a stock bottom end 5.3 with a Radix, and all I cold muster up with slicks was a 13.1 @ 103. So please post yout time slips after you run.

I think Blownchevy has nailed the range pretty good. If your IATs are not too high you can maybe get it in the 13sec bracket. It'll be close though. A shorty header and one step smaller pulley isn't going to do all that much more than when you started, IMO. How much did boost increase with the new pulley?

I didn't know you could get a 3.3 pulley, I thought the next smallest from the 3.4 was the 3.25 which increases boost by ~1psi
