Lol.......just like i said. You want a advantage.

It ran 16.1 @ 86.9 mph in summer heat stock. Ex-cab sb 4x4 2500hd. I bet a 5.4 in a similar truck would run a 17.5

Got the slip? Remember I said 5.3 and you have a 6.0. So you are having 2nd thoughts?

320 is not unusual fo any fuel injected engine. What makes the mod motor trash is when they do break, it's never simple. And they are a pain in the *** to work on.

I am still of the opinion that 99% of what you type is retardation ungoverned, but I will say you are on to something with this. Trucks are mostly what I have tuned and there are some early and late GM trucks that are SUPER turds until you at least turn off torque management and Power enrichment delay.

I also have a much heavier truck being 2500hd and 4x4 and not a 2wd 1/2 ton.

As usual you were trying to hide a advantage . But you will still get out run.

I have no idea if i have the slip. It was a nearly new truck when i ran it 12- 14 yrs ago

How do you stip running stock trucks??.....well unless you don't want to run comparable trucks. If he wants a accurate 5.4 comparison then it should be in a comparable truck.......not one that runs 1k lb lighter.


But there is another option. We could compare my uncles 5.3 1/2 ton 4x4 truck to his 5.4 2wd truck

It's pretty easy to remember what it ran. I also remember what my other vehicles ran.....nbd

So you gonna man up and run it?


Like i said....we can use my uncles 5.3 times if you prefer. Your truck will be slower than both if stock.

So since it's stip central what does his 2000 5.3 run? They made a little more power and a lot less TQ. Probably why they feel like turds compared to the 5.4..

5.4 is about the slowest damn truck I ever drove. But its been a good truck. It probably would have been a good run with my Nissan hardbody 5spd. All 120hp of that Z24 engine!

I think the trucks should be in comparable configuration if you truly want to see if your 5.4 is better.

My uncles 5.3 4x4 ran 15.7 @87.6

His and my truck were both stock and both are 2003. A 5.3 h.o. truck would be quicker than both and could be had with 4.10 gears.

My 2004 4 door Silverado Z71 is still 100% bone stock with 170k on the clock. If I am at the track with it, I make a pass with and without the management and report back....first I'll have to fix that annoying *** rear seal leak. GM sure dicked that one up.

Do you people understand that this is from 2004 /2005.......there was no getting everything on vid then.

His last runs were 15.4@91 but it's not 100% stock now. I have that on vid

I asked for slips and u don't have. Your Uncle was probably never stock. Hard to believe anything you say honestly. The early 2000s 5.3 is a good run for a 5.4 no doubt about it. The 4.6 will give it hell as well.
