well there's several other variables...like gears. those trucks came with several different gear ratio's available.
i'm not doubting that you did, in fact, outrun the 5.3. not a doubt in my head, as i know what both cars are capable of. i'm just saying i wouldn't pull up to every stoplight with the cocky attitude that just cause you outran 1 you can outrun them all. and that's not even from a modding stand point. some engine's are dogs from the factory and other's are freaks. like i said about gears too, a 3.73 posi is going to take off better than a 3.42 open diff.
wiz kidd...did you word that right? or am i missing something important that makes n/a 3.8's run better than s/c 3.8s?

No, I hear ya. As I said, my Silverado had a 3.73 rear end, it was a monster. I don't plan on racing everyone. All I was really doing was testing and comparing. Sorry if I came off as cawcky (for the censors) in the posts. I can see how that can be perceived.
I was actually surprised because I had taken a same setup but GMC truck when I was selling cars and was impressed at how it performed and made smokey donuts in the parking lot. Shhh...don't tell anyone.
