well i was out in my truck 2001 regular cab 4.3 V6 regular cab silverado and my friend was in his 2001 extended HD with the 6 liter in it we went from a dead stop a few times and it was good race neck and neck the whole time then we went from a 25 roll and got him by 2 trucks instantly so im happy with my stock 4.3

 

...lol

 

I took a 4.3 silverado the other day in my truck. I think he had exhaust and intake. Nevertheless, he was no match. Out of curiousity do you guys think I could take a Ford F-250 diesel with a turbo, exhaust, intake, and a chip? The kid says it'll run 14.5's. My truck has the 4.8 with flowmasters, k&n filter, hypertech, and edelbrock shorties.

 

Just don't let him start modding his 6.0L HD or you'll fall behind VERY quickly. LOL

Despite the extra weight those HD can get fast QUICK! Mod for mod I couldn't keep up with my buddies truck. Mine 5.3L 1500series his a 6.0L HD 2500.

 

Not 100% sure, but I know that those diesels can respond great to mods like that chip. I know that can get a lot more HP out of one than us gasoline guys can.

 

i might have to give it to the diesel

 

Not too bad!

While we're talking about 4.3's... Anyone else here mod one? I had two. One I kept stock in my first vehicle, the other I lightly modded. It didn't respond all that well. What were your experiences?
