That truck moves! Is it 4,000lbs with driver?

I just picked up an '08 alum 5.3 for a "project."

this literally seals the deal for me. when my ls1 pops, im going stock 5.3 with head studs and a decent cam and letting it rip. there is seriously no point to building a motor with all these 5.3/pt88 combos straight tearing it up

Thanks for the comments, I want to see how deep into the 9s i can get if I do run 9s. I have also been wanting to swap this setup into a fox body mustang or a f-body.
