Default 5.3 GMC vs 5.3 COLORADO!!! Who wins?

Well long story short Tazz(GMC OWNER) had called me out for a little GRUDGE race you can say to see who's 5.3 runs better since he has ported heads, vic jr intake, and lots of weight reduction. Anyways I went ahead and installed my nitrous TNT kit since he was going to spray as well. We headed out to the track did one test pass and got ready for the race altough I had some issues at the 1/8th mile I was still pleased with my time.

Here is the video.

My mods are as follows 5.3 H.O. motor, custom cam 219/224, custom LT headers with cut-out, LS2 intake and TB both 90mm, built 4L60E ,3600 PI stall, 4:10 gears, and the 150 TNT.

60ft =1.54
1/8th =6.93
1/4 =11.14 @114 mph let off due to fuel problems.
Those of you that know how to do the 1/8th calculations you know that was for a 10.88 more less pass

Let me know what you think guys.

I was going to say a stock vette should have been left in the dust.

Awesome build! the way chevy should have done it(ok maybe not, alot of people would kill themselves is an 11 second truck)
