All this talk about racing trucks

Man thanks for all your help bro now I know what to do and where to start....

No prob fellow silverado owner, when you get all this done, we can run after I finish my turbo setup.

Call TSP for a cam kit (like $6xx.xx for cam/springs/PRs) call circle d for a custom converter (prob want a big cooler and level10 shift kit). Sam for a tune, greenbullit for diff/gears, and pacesetter long tube and ORY pipe (cheap but they work great).

And there's your 13second truck with good conditions/driver.

350+ hp will I need more than bolt ons for that much hp?

Cold air, cam, full exhaust, tune and some other bolt-ons should put you close to that.

When I ran the 12.5 I had a stock long block with a saleen blower, jdm saleen goodies running a 2.87 pulley, OBX long tubes with dual 2.5" exhaust, DJM lowering kit(factory springs/shocks), corvette electric fans, 4.11 gears and some Hoosier slicks.

On that 12.5 pass my factory transmission gave up the ghost at 90k miles. So now I have a built transmission with all the hardened/billet goodies, 2800 pi stall, a JDM dyno/street/race tune(where the 80hp comes in), fore precision works triple pump hat, 60# injectors, long bars, and some other misc goodies. I have all the parts for a built shortblock, and a spare set of heads to send to JDM to get worked over. When I decide to go built I should be around 700rwhp on pump.

On the highway, while cruising at 75 will still pull about 19-20mpg.

I like it! What's the mod list?

[FATHERFORD]

Fast trucks are cool, but having a fast truck that isn't really a truck anymore, can't tow or carry shit, just kills it for me. Run 12's, get 19mpg, and be able to tow 6000+ lbs in a 1/2 ton and then call me impressed. 11's would be even more impressive.

My f-150 will do that... Hope to hit 11's this fall on a good night. I hit 12.5 last fall with 80 less hp and some other minor mods.

Some of these aren't "bolt ons" though. Headers, tune, stall converter, cam, gears.
But it depends on what the goal is.

I'm tearing mine apart this morning. The trans started slipping over the weekend and if I pull it out....I'm half way there right?
