My brother in law has a 96 5.7 with some mods and we raced at the track once. Due to my bad reaction time (.4sec worse), my nose was at his tail until I started to reel him in at the 330ft, even a little past 1/8 and 3/4 length at the 1/4. Ran a 15.07 to his 15.40. Was at 14.80 before the night was through. His best ever was 14.90 before his bed cover.

 

White53gmc:

The rwhp and rwtq (before/after headers) in your sig are a little strange. Is there a typo there?
Good numbers.

P.S. - white53gmc, what track do you go to? capitol or no problems? several of my friends went to no problems tonite including zerog10201 and some friends with old muscle cars.

 

no they didn't track was closed b/c of the rain. damn LA weather.

 

The 96-99 are better than pre 96. He's got HPP3, no cats, headers, msd ignition, udp, k&n fipk. I usually head out to npr but this weekend I'll be at state capitol.

Fast4.8: yeah typo. 278rwhp/301rwtq before the headers and 290rwhp/321rwtq after. The yank reduces those to 283rwhp/308rwtq.

I have a 99 5.7 Vortec V8 and it's rated at 255hp / 330tq...

The early 90's stuff is also TBI I would imagine, should be a slaughter.

 

yeah i know for sure its TBI. does K&N or anybody make an intake for this or just a filter? apparently he wants want so he can "put it on my even more". hahahaha

 

i put a stillen intake on my old 90 5.7 and it helped a lot. more than an intake on these newer trucks.
