Nice, I have an l59 I'm doing an s480 build on right now. Just keeping stock internals for now, while I build my other monster, so I'll just run 10psi for now. But, once my big boy build is done, I'll forge the 5.3 and crank it up to 25ish psi. Not sure how much I can actually cram down its throat before I get head lift (damn you 4 bolt heads, haha) but my intentions with this build is to bust the 5.3 record. Not sure just where I'll end up, but looking for 1k+ whp

New mt pros on ready to get licensed! Just on the street I can tell the Vikings and pros work great together
These screws aren't into the tire I cut them and put them into the rim only I didn't want to leave the holes in the wheels.

Thanks guys! Had a good day at the track It was hot and humid as hell but got to get all my license runs in and the last two tried out the new shocks and tires. Launched at 13psi and got this pass. As you can hear in the video i hit the rev limiter lol but still got a decent run out of it. Also this was straight 93 no mix no meth. Ran great all day. 16psi 15* timing. Now that i'm legit i'll be trying to dial it in. Still plenty left on this set up might change gear and converter up a little but want to work with what i have for now. But the Converter was not happy with the new tire change LOL

I only got two full passes in but I put it where you said and it seemed awesome a completely different car not sure which was the better upgrade da Vikings or the tires. I have a track rental Friday so ill get many runs and like you recommended more boost until it spins and go from there! I'm surprised I launched 13psi with no spin. I think I'm getting a ton of converter slip now. 3.08+28" tire makes for an unhappy transmission.....thanks again martin for the help!
