Default 4.8L ET Record?

Just curious if anyone happens to know the ET Record for a 4.8L Chevrolet. Building an X275 car and am looking for something to mess around with along the way. I've done some searching around and so far I haven't come up with much info.

Thanks, Blake

I don't think they do either lol. I was just curious to see if anyone happened to know a bit of useless information lmao. Fastest I have seen was like an 11.00. Figured it would have been faster than that. Guess I'll just see what
I can pull out of the 4.8 then put the "big" engine in.

Thanks

there's been a guy that made some pretty respectable power with an 88mm turbo on one.

LoL I was expecting at least one smart a-- comment. I know it's not a huge concern to people (including myself) but I was just curious.

My buddy ran an 11.8 in an 02 silverado with a H/C 4.8. Mild heads at that and not a huge cam either, something like a 220.

No its not. They share the same block but there is nothing else in common, different crank, rods and pistons.
