I put down 311 with a stock 706 headed 5.3 with ls6 intake and slp headers. I'd say 350 is about right

With a 2.1 60' did a 8.7@83 n/a 5000da and at a different track and lil better da I was getting 7.6@92 w/150 spraying 2/3 of the track at most I'd hit it halfway through second gear when I'd catch enough traction.

I'd say 8.0 n/a and 7.0 n2o should be attainable

It's not going to put down big numbers on the dyno due to the inefficient drivetrain setup (trans, converter, rear end) but it should perform well at the track.

I saw no more than 310 rwhp.

check out the truck forums. Someone had good gains going from HC to tr220 112 cam. around 360rwhp. I think he had a dyno graph

5.3 needs more compression for cams over 220 degrees

it would pick up a good bit more time with a little more cam and stall but either way the motor will like the nitrous I say you will be 8.4-8.9 depending on air/wind and 60ft for sure 7.50 or better on the bottle if u don't spin it to ****
