Hey guys I have a 01' Silverado (5.3L). Its basically 100% stock. The only mods are Pacesetter LT's (catless Y) and a K&N filter. Ran a 14.88 in the 1/4 with 20" Centerlines, highway gears, full street weight, spare, 3/4 tank of regular unleaded gas. I'm looking to get at least into the high 12's and best of low 12's (12.20's). I'm looking at the TSP 2.5 Stage heads, a TR220 112LSA, 3600 stall, 3.73 gears, also maybe a Detroit or G80 locker and getting my 4L60 built. Any ideas on where that would put me?

 

Right where you want to be, if you put it on a diet and run on stock rims

I'll see if I can get some MT Et streets on some 16's or something......buying tires for those 20" are starting to hit that wallet. ESP since I don't have a real job yet

 

well i hit 12's already with k&n , headers, pulley, 3600 pi stall and 224r cam from tsp with stock 3.73 and g80..i hit a 12.8 in hot weather i just installed 4.11 with tru trac..hoping to hit a mid 12's

 

with what u said u will hit 12's, by the way nice lil vega u got there it isnt on racingjunk forsale is it? if not one simaliar i saw on there

 

Yeah I did have it on there, but I decided to keep it . Had too many people trying to screw me around on the deal so I said fush it and so now I'll just keep it and paint it and keep on truckin' with it

 

my best recipe was an LS2 with a 230 cam, 3200 Vig, 4.10's and full bolt ons

 

i thought you never got into the 12's with that setup?

 

by the way seems like you know what you want and it will work, i would do 4.10's before i do a head swap, you'll be surprised on how deep into the 12's you'll be with stock heads...

 

The only track numbers i ever got were in AZ and i was fighting with tune problems, it was a 12 second setup though
