I'd like to hear more about this build! You don't see too many turbo 5.3 crew cabs on here.

Mine ran 12.4 @ 110mph with a 1.71 60' a year ago through the stock cat back. I've since added a single 4" Duramax exhaust, meth injection and I still have a 102mm throttle body to install. By the time the track opens there should be a few other things done as well.

I've seen your YouTube videos, nice sleeper! Haha looks like a work truck but runs 12s. The duramax exhaust sounds surprisingly good.

Nice dude, I wonder how you have 3.42's. it must be trim level package deal. No doubt they help get these slugs going better than the normal 3.08's.

It's still a slug out of the hole with the wheels and tires I have on it. I would like to try it again with no passenger, tailgate, stereo, or spare just to see if I could get close to 15.4. But I doubt I'll be going back to a 1/4 mile track anytime soon, since all of them are 3+ hours away. I'll be running in the 1/8th soon which my time of 15.7 yielded me a 10.1 1/8 mile time. So anything in the 9's and I'll be happy.
