I think you'll definitely feel an improvement, and it'll idle like stock with that wide lsa. Combine that cam with a decent verter and you could have a nice budget combo.

Not sure what it'll run now, but my current tires are 31" tall, and I also have added StainlessWorks longtubes and catted y-pipe, 05 efans, and 160* stat. Swapped the K&N for a Volant w/ ram air, but I doubt there's any gain there. I'm sure I'm still in the 15's though...a mild verter would probably bring me into the high 14's.

I just don't understand why your times are so low. With those mods, I would have thought you could easily muster a low 14 to high 13.
Hell TxSilverado' ECSB turned out a 13.8xx with his untouched high mileage 5.3L with only bolt-ons. The engine hasn't ever been apart. An he's all N/A.
I think there is a lot more to be had with your set-up. You just haven't put the right combonation together yet. It's all trial and error.
I know that your 4wd, but you can take it out of 4wd. The extra weight would be about the same when comparing a 2wd ECSB truck to a 4wd RCSB truck. At least I would think.
Good luck.
