im new here and i was just wondering what stock shortbed regular cabs with 5.3's are capable of. and also with some bolt ons, thanks.

 

mine stock ran a 15.57 full chevy weight, with bolt ons and tuneing it ran a 14.6 small cam 14.03 and better weather. and with a stall converter it went 13.67 now with long tube headers,big cam and 4.10 it dont go anymore lol

 

Last summer with 90* temps and super humid, I ran 16.5 with the BFG 285's and bolt ons (K&N and Gibson stuff). I also have a heavy Pace Edwards's tonneau and the spare was bolted in. Hoping to have some better numbers this year with the cam and tune...I should find out Saturday.

 

my '00 RCSB 5.3 2wd Chevy went 15.48 at 90 mph w/ just a cat-back exhaust system. this was in June. CHIP

 

With the mods in my signature, my truck ran a 9.855@72.81 MPH in the 1/8 mile which is approx. a 15.38@90.28 in the 1/4 mile. Even though I had full weight (spare, tailgate, etc.) it still managed to lose a little traction off the line. I think with good weather, good traction, and less weight I could easily run a high 14 (or mid 9's in 1/8 mile terms).

 

I ran a 15.0x in some chilly (50) weather... lowered with a hard tonneau, stock everything, tow package, 3.73 gears...

 

bone stock 3.73 no muffler no tail gate,no spare tire 14.71 that was in 2001 1200 miles on truck.that was 9 trans. and 2 motors alot of trying this and that finding what they like and don't like.

 

it's all in my sig...

Jeff

15.22@87.8 bone stock, no tailgate. 15.03@91.2 with only CAI and cat back. check signature for other mods since
