Titan vs. Silverado?

torker8403 · 08-20-2008, 06:56 PM

So my buddy just bought the 2008 5.3l Silverado and of course he wants to race already, I cant back down to that. I know i will win but im wondering if it will be close or not. Let me know how many truck lengths i should win by. It will be around a 1/4 mile.

With the mods you have, you should beat him. However that Banks is killing your low end torque. I bet if you switched that out with a different exhaust you would beat him by a lot more.

I should be him? Are you saying it will be close? Yeah i know that the banks is killing my low end torque but the 2* timing should help out.

drop the stock y pipe back in your banks setup and youll be good to go. silverado 08's are pretty slow stock. youll get him by about 2 carlengths give or take a carlength or so.

Im leaving my truck just like it is. Now im thinking that it will be a pretty even race, since everyone is downing the banks on my exhaust.

What you dont have in the bottom end will make up in the top end, We have the 5.3L in our 08 Tahoe never really got on it tho its always pulling a trailer when im in it

Your Titan is faster than the Silverado, as long as you don't let him get a good jump on you I bet you win going away.

I destroyed an 08 Silverado even before my *2 Advance and BD upgrade.

I destroy my buddies 08 Sierra every time we race, and look at me, I'm running 35s. You will leave him behind.

We have silverado's at work most of them are 4.8s which were as fast as my V6 F150 I had before my Titan. The Silverado is heavier and has less HP (I believe) so you should definately win. However in the long run... who cares!

Thanks guys, ill try to get in on video but if i cant ill let you know how it went.

You should take the win.. but it will also depend on his set up. You say a 5.3, but is it an ext cab or crew cab? Which gears?

My father-in-law bought an 08 crew cab 5.3 with the 3.42 gear. It's a little sluggish off the line, but pulls pretty good in the higher rpm range. The 3.73's make a big difference off the line.

If your buddy has 3.73's then the battle will be at the launch, although the Titan should pull on the top end.
