The quarter time varies for stock, most are 13.2 to 13.6, the 14.2 time published was in Cali at 4000 ft on 91 octane…

Handling is tight and well engineered for a 4800 lb ride, I know of many using them on the track (and strip)…

Automatic is a good thing for the 1320…

With a grand your looking at a truck that is 400/500 to the tires, in the 12’s and running 16lbs of boost (chip, 6lb pulley, intake, valve body), be careful the mod bug can bite ya…

I’d buy a 2003, different heads. The plug thread count is higher and you have less chance of ejecting a plug under increased boost (which hasn’t happened in either of my L’s)…

They are retaining their value…

I could be a little bias, LOL…

i dont know where to begin on this so ill start at the begining.

good handeling for 4800lbs? i suppose everything is relative.. its still a 4800lb truck. thats like having the best handeling school bus.

of course auto is great for 1320, if thats all that you plan to do i wouldnt suggest any other transmission, especially for bracket racing . they seem pretty consistant.

how does a 6lb pully make 16 lbs of boost?

i wont at all disagree with the rest

above and beyond all , they are seemingly fast fun to drive trucks. i just couldnt personally handle driving a bit automatic truck all day.
