i raced my buddies stock tundra 5.7 (wat they call Xtended cab) in a bone stock denali 6.2 off the show room floor and i tokk the tundra by a full car to 100, so ya the 6.2 is faster

 

That would be great!

I should also say that the videos of the 5.3 w/ 6speed tranny are stock as well. So I dont' think it's fair to say they're "slow". It's just disappointing that they choke up such good engines. I'd take a truck with only 30k miles of warranty vs. 100k if it came tuned for max performance and a small break on the price.

 

Yea im happy with mine too. 14.11@100.9mph with just a muffler and basic tune on 22's. Maybe go back to the big bad yota you used to have

 

Was it from a dig? Did both of you have the "traction controlls" off. I know it's called the VSE in the tundra, that makes a big difference. I know in the latest truck shootout the Chevy Max w/ the 6.2 made it to 60 mph about a tenth of a second faster than the tundra so they are close.

I guess I need to drive a 6.2. I never have for two reasons first they only came in the Denali and that's just too fancy for me. Secondly you have to run premium fuel for max performance, I'm a tight-wad cheapo and that doesn't fit into my budget.

Sorry for the hijack but this is a question that's bothered me for a long time. I appreciate the info.

 

the same stuff for tuning applies to a 5.3
more so for 6.2

 

ive only ran 93 in either truck ive owned, my
LSx swap will only see 93 octane too

 

i wish i cold buy 93 in lubbock

most i can get here is 91 and thats at TWO of tha gas stations in town

 

That is really funny and just not possible.

 

Whats not possible? Let me guess you know everything since you work for GM.......

 

yes sir it was from a dead stop, on the 3rd honk we left at the same time and i jumped about a fender in front of him and by 60 i put another fender so around a car, and yes both of us had tt OFF
