I've been thinking of selling my WS6 for a new Silverado. It seems like the trucks are built much better than the F-bodies are for some reason. Anyway, I was looking at getting a Sportside standard cab with a 5.3 and 3.73s. What kind of performance would this truck get? What about with all the bolt ons? Thanks in advance.

 

Stock, you will run high 14's. Without going internal, you can run mid to high 13's. 12's are only a small shot away. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
What year is your car? You wanna trade? <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

 

That performance sounds respectable. If I get one, it will have the L59 engine, and probably the Pro-Tec bed to save weight. Keep the replies coming.

BTW, car is a 2002.

What is the L59 5.3? The dual fuel? Don't know performance #'s for this engine.

 

look bro not to burst bubble but if u are looking for speed stay with the WS6 I was in the same boat as u I just sold my Z and got a silverado I am very happy with it but its a far cry from the Z so either way I think u will be happy good luck !!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Get a Lightning.

 

Lightnings are slow! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

 

True, but not as slow as a bolt-on Silverado. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

The ***-end on these trucks are light enough, the front is where the weight is. You will get NO traction with the Pro-Tec bed unless you do some serious traction mods IMO.
Good Luck
