Default stroked 5.3l
I am torn on what size to build my 5.3l into. I want to have really go low end torque and high end hp. I was also wondering if anyone knows of a good shop in the Phoenix area that tunes well. I was wondering what my truck should be running in the 1/4. See sig for whats done to it.

with the hypertech I'd say low 14s. With a good tune you might be in the 13s. I have no idea what kind of cam that is. It could be a 190/190 .566/.568 lift cam for all I know. The lift doesn't really mean anything on a stock heads truck.
