how can i get my 4.8 in the 13s without nitrus or any type of forced induction?

 

lots and lots of work, and mula

about the first thing you will need to take care of if your going to try it, is get the transmission reworked..
deffinatly get it seriously upgraded to a stout 65E..
3.73 gears or smaller..
posi,
2800 or larger stall... (I did it with a 2800)

sofar the only cam I have seen get a 4.8L N/A into the 13's is the TR224 cam..
there may be others but I havnt seen it.
also Tuning..
a set of long tubes will work good to.. allthough I am running shorties with mine..
weight reduction, and track time..
that should get you close..if not into the high 13's

 

also what is yours???
RC ?
EXC?
standard?
automatic?
need a bit of info on the truck

 

... offically there is i think two all motor 4.8L in the 13's... me and you i think thunder. Right on about the transmission work and stall, thts really the key. The tr224 cam is a beast

 

Hey now, I have a 13 second set-up. Just haven't ran it, yet.......

just to clarify guys...
I didnt say I was the only one...
just said that the only 4.8L's on the N/A 13 second list are running the 224 cam...

allthough officially I was the first ...LOL

 

single cab 2005 3.23 gears no posi automatic

 

in that case, what thunder said should will get ya in the 13's

lol thunder.. ya you were the first to do it... :-P
i didnt realize you had a 4.8 bigblockchev.. thought u had a 572

 

i'd recomend going with a 4.10 gear and at least a 3000 stall or more as a starting point. you're going to want to have your own tuning software. in order to get every bit of power out of your 4.8L like you're going to need to run the number, you're going to need it tuned very well. cam will be a must, but i'd say start with a posi, 4.10 gear and the converter. next, buy HPTuners. from there start into looking at your times and trap speeds to see where you need most help. work your way into a cam, cold air intake, exhaust, headers, cal trac's, shift kit, lighter wheels, etc. there's only one way to get there with a 4.8L and that's to spin the **** out of it. (rpm wise).

 

lately i have been getting alot of o/t i am planning on going to fastech more than likely that is were i will get most of my work done hopefully next weekend i can buy headers ,intake,4.10 gears,posi and get them installed
