Maybe it was a lingenfelter lol, twin turbo 427 package. Most likely he jsut had alot of mods, i know a couple guys with twin turbo silverados around here.

**jeffz0rz** · 10-01-2009, 09:28 AM

well anything like that is super super rare here in san diego. the thing i dont get is this truck is all "swapmeet-ted" out wit hevery sticker, spoiler, led lights and anything else you can stick on it and it still just destryoyed me. i have only sen one turbo silverado here, and one all motor blacked out silverado. both lowered a little. never seen a built BRAND NEW PAPER PLATED truck whoop as like that. maybe my truck is broke or something.

HAHAHA, maybe. It may have been some guy who built it, riced it out then traded it in and the guy diving it with papaer plates just bought it like it was.

Gotta remember though that alot of the mods that can be done to the LS1/2's can also be done to the 5.3's and 6.0's. I've seen some very capable all motor trucks. A guy I used to live down the street from had a silverado 1500 that ran low 13's all motor.

Thats all good but on a truck that big with tires like that you would need 400whp just to hit mid 13s

**jeffz0rz** · 10-01-2009, 10:23 AM

well either way, i need some more go fast goodies. im not worried about breaking land speed records, but i would like to get up to 75-80 ALOT faster. just not sure where to start.

**jeffz0rz** · 10-01-2009, 10:30 AM

probably more like low 16's Your probably gonna be better off running the entire way in 2wd.

**jeffz0rz** · 10-01-2009, 10:49 AM

well i do know that i jump off the line alot faster in 4x, and bout half way through 2nd i go back to 2x. this is once in a blue moon that i ever mess around on the street or strip. its a daily driver that needs some umph.

**Zinergy** · 10-01-2009, 11:23 AM

high 15s is the norm with the 5.3, mostly because it has 4.10 gears stock

Nope. Several different ratios were offered. All depended on the chassis package and RPO codes.

Appearances aren't everything. You just never can tell anymore what you are next to.

Trucks are a riot, unsuspecting, and a big dissappointment to a car owner when they lose to one.
I've played around with my 79 1 ton. Just a mild 454/400 turbo with 3.73 gears. Has run 14.70's at 95-96 mph at 5,550 lbs.

It doesn't set the world on fire but it has raised a few eyebrows with an occasional stockish 4.6 or 5.0 mustang. It's also funny when people in their family sedans think they can race around me to switch lanes, only to find they can't keep up with a big ole 30 year old truck that's shaped like a brick,,,lol.
Just something about it makes me chuckle. There are some really fast trucks out there though.

Most v6 sedans these days trap 95mph, times are changing, tiem to add more power to that truck. Camry-14.5, accord 14.5, legacy 14.1, infiniti g37 -13.6, caddilac cts-14.3

**ss~zoso~ss** · 10-01-2009, 03:12 PM

could it have been a diesel?

**jeffz0rz** · 10-01-2009, 03:13 PM

LOL,,,I don't keep up with whats going on in the world, especially all those foreign cars you mentioned. Like I said, it doesn't set the world on fire, but for what it is,,,it's fun. Still hillarious to see a big truck stay door to door with a little car.
I never intended for the truck to be fast, just adding some towing power as that's it's main purpose. But when I broke an axle on the chevelle in time trials a few years back, I decided to unhook the trailer and tech the truck in. Went 4 rounds in bracket 3, put some much faster cars on the trailer, they were pissed. Had a blast then towed my junk back home, haha.

I never thought the truck would even dip into the 14's, especially a hot day. I still think the truck has more in it,,, It's still a bit lean on the wideband. Hahaha.

the new diesels arent loud like the older ones, and there is the new 6.2l with 403hp, available on the silverado 1500, here in houston there are alott of fast trucks, that look stock, with the vortecmax.
