Well, at least your honest. Most people will not admit to losing a race. You sure thats all he had? It seems that with your mods, you should have taken him by at least a half truck.

I don't think that it is that out of the ordinary for a somewhat stock 5.3 to do that to a cammed 4.8...

I say up your shift points to 6500rpm and try again. Spin the **** out of that 4.8

Have you had it on a dyno to see where it stops making power? I bet the intake is holding you back.
