what about this cam… its a LPE one it made 413 hp was 255/282 206/226 and .571/.578 and 118.5th with just Long tubes. now the conversion to fbucket accessory drive is worth 6hp and a LS6 intake along with some gasket matching of stock 5.3 along with milled to 10.1 should get me a decent number. probably like 425 or so then say a 100shot…not to bad for a truck with a small motor like a 325

I doubt you’re going to hit 425RWHP through and Auto on a 5.3 w/ that small of a cam. 206/226 is pretty small in Gen. III standards. And that’s a huge split towards the exhaust side which would be good for a forced induction car or a really big N20 shot… but doesn’t make much sense for your application (mostly NA w/ a small shot).

that was at the crank. they upped it to a more radical and fast intake along with heads and 30#ders and got 453hp at crank. it was done in carcraft so a gain of 100 hp liek they did is nice for as little as the ygot done. i think 425 crank is very easy to get with some ported and milled heads, ls6 intake or fast, and fbucket accesory drive. that with a 100 shot or 125 shot should make the truck a pretty strong runner along with a nice stall and shift kit…my only problem i see is goingot be hooking up. i dont see to many companies out there for suspensions on the trucks

Ah, yes 425 crank HP shouldn’t be a problem… especially w/ head work. As for traction I’ll copy and paste from my car club’s board what the guy in our club w/ the STS turbo Z71 is thinking:

@F8L

One of the guys from LS1Tech found em and was thoughtful enough to PM me about it. This may allow me to run the truck in 2wd instead of 4wd through the whole 1/4mile. I would think this will net me better times and MPH.

Here are the specs:

M&H Tires (Interco)

The Nostalgia Slick is 31.83 inches tall, has a 12" wide contact patch, and will mount on any wheel between 8-12" wide!
It is rated to go over 250 mph’s!
IMO, This is the “PEFRECT” Truck Drag Slick! and is also M&H’s recommendation for truck use.
Why is this the perfect Truck Drag Slick? Glad you asked

It is constructed with several beneficial characteristics for Truck use.

1. The side walls are stiffer than the average Drag Slick which allows the tire to handle the weight of a truck during launch (i.e. weight transfer), as most trucks are considerably heavier than a typical 1/4miler.
2. The Compound used on this Slick is softer than the typical Drag Slick, which really helps our light in the ass trucks hook up!
3. In addition, these tires can be air’d down to 7psi (at 250+ mph), for a wrinkle wall effect and added traction if needed. However, they can also be run at standard air pressures.
4. This is the tire that M&H recommends for for the Desiel crowd as they are able to handle the very high torque these powertrains put down.
5. They can and are used in a 4 wheel configuration as well.

The guy is a nut, LoL. He’s making his extended cab Z71 into his “fast car” while he de-modded his TA and sold his 'vette. He just picked up a regular cab/short bed too that I guess he’s going to put the drivetrain he was building for the Z71 (6.0L, 4L80E and new/bigger STS) in the “little” truck and just feshen his 5.3 to return the Z71 to daily driver status. He already went low 12s in the mamoth Z71 but he wants 10s from the SCSB 2wd.
