If you don't run 11s then something is wrong. On a tune only 2005 lq4 with flipped exhaust manifolds I ran 12.20 with a headwind and using a $279 USD (new) torque converter . My 1/8 mile of 7.72 converts to 12.05 in the 1/4 which possibly could have happened if wind wasn't an issue. These motors are amazing, I only paid $560 Canadian for mine with 100 000 miles

Did they actually let you run nines more than once without kicking you off the track?

the 1/8th mile track I run all the time and never teched. I actually have run numerous 6.0 passes there and never a problem. The 1/4 mile track I can run on test and tune and grudge days, but no events that are NHRA sanctioned.

Nice, the track I run at or kind of dicks, there quick to kick people off for running too fast.Nice notch by the way, very clean..
I have a chance to get this cam for a decent price do you think it'll work well in a 5.3
Lobe seperation 112.1
Duration 230/230
Valve lift 604/603

if the price is right then might be a good cam especially for a 5.3. I always run split pattern cams because of nitrous. Do yo have a good tuner, that cam will def need a good tune for it to run right.

Alright,I was hoping to hear that.I know a few shops that are pretty good at tuning cars.. I can get that cam for around 150$ so I'll probably buy that in the next few days.

for the speedo I used Dakota digital. pricey but I wanted the stock look. tach, been now over 14 years, so I think the ecu harness has a signal wire I used. not sure how accurate it is but I let the trans shift itself.
my old 98 5.7 was cam only LS1 TSP 585 225, yank 3600 373 and DR's went 11:60's all day long. that combo lasted over 10 years, put on ported 799 CNC heads, Fast 98 and Fast 98 t body and it dropped to 10:90's. Still have all the parts to that motor, that was one of the best street able combo's I had, on the highway it got about 24-26 mpgs.

thx I'll have to look into that, I'd like to use my stock gauges.Found out my rear end has ford racing 4:10 gears.that should bring the quarter mile times down a little.(even though it sucks for highway driving)
