I run 9.80 @ 73in good air with my 5.3 02 Ext Cab Silverado with Nelson Tune & UPD Cold Air & March Ram Air & in hot air I run 10.4 @ 70 mph. Needless to say I raced one of these Tundra's & his was bone stock & he ran 9.5 @ 74 STOCK.

Those trucks are BADASS & are extremelly fast for stock, Nice buy man.
