My truck pulled on a NEW 5.0! So today I left work and as I am waiting in the left hand turn lane to get on the highway I see a light blue 5.0 mustang leaving JBA performance shop..He is in the right lane and headed the same direction as me (a 3 lane hwy)..As his right turn lane turns green, so does mine and I am in the front 
..I open my cutout and get behind him and give him some pipe..He returns the gesture and goes wot for a second (he was behind a car on the on ramp)..Its around 11:20 pm and the hwy is wide open
..I wave my hand to him and he lets me catch up to around 45mph...I signal "3" with my hand and he nods...1...2...3..My Truck(not sports car..lol) downshifts to 2nd and I start pulling hard..6400 rpm comes and I hit 3rd...by the time I am at around 95-105 mph I have put 1 1/2 lengths on him and shut down (thats my limit) 
...I was very proud of my truck and impressed with the 5.0..as 45mph is my sweet spot..and pull hard on modded Lightnings monthly....He had to of had exhaust by the sound and had a JBA sticker and license plate frame...So maybe more??

what has your truck put to the wheels? i am putting a similar set up in my Z71 with just a little more cam. mine is a rebuilt ls1 with ported 5.3's, LT's, and a 224/224 or 220/220 as i have both.

Thanks Guys!..I was very happy with the outcome..the EPS cam screams up top
I dynoed at 38x/39x before the EPS cam and TBSS intake/92mm t-body/e-cutout..The old cam was tiny 212/216 .525/.532 115lsa..So I am guessing based on other threads around 42x/42x
