Default What would a 5.3 with bolt ons run?

I was wondering, what would a ext-cab short bed 2wd silv or sierra run with these mods? Might consider on getting a 2011 or 2012.

Cold air
4:10s
long tubes
underdrive pulleys
tune
Also what size rim will fit on the back so I could run drag radials? 15s or 16s?

You'd be a bit faster with the 6.2, but I'd give you about what Dime put in that last post. Don't know where you're located, but it might be a hair faster.

If you've got a Tundra, you'd have a much better platform to build on with a new GM.

the 2011 silverado i rented last year had the 5.3 6spd and it ran 15.721 @ 88mph it was a crew cab and im sure an ext cab would be around 15.5s or so
