2017 Z71 5.3 e85 13s!

Took my truck to the track today and finally hit the 13s! My best two times were 14.016 @ 96.38(1/4) 8.925 @ 76.99(1/8) 1.94 60ft. and 13.967 @ 97.05(1/4) 8.915 @ 77.76(1/8) 1.96 60ft. vs the stock time of 15.219 @ 89.86(1/4) 9.703 @ 70.46(1/8) 2.13 60ft. which I think is a huge gain for a 2017 Silverado Z71 Double Cab 5.3 4x4 that weighs 5500lbs with me in it 3.42 gears, 265/65/18R wheels, Spintech 6000 muffler, K&N drop in filter, e85, and most important the Klug Performance tune. It was 47 degrees today and a DA of 865. I launched the truck in 4wd, kept it in 4wd, and manually shifted it to 6200 rpm in each gear for both passes. He thinks we can still get another tenth or two from some more changes. I am very happy with how the truck is now. Just shows what these trucks are capable of. :)

Hey that's some good times or a 5.3. It is 6 speed or 8 speed. Kluge performance tune I never heard of?

 

Truck is a 6 speed and my buddy at Klug Performance has been doing tunes for around 10 years now. Local tuner in Southwest lower Michigan who uses HP Tuners. If your interested in a tune best way to contact him is under Klug Performance on Facebook.

Thanks. I am very impressed with this truck. I think next I will see how far into the 13s I can get with just weight reduction. After that it will either be long tube headers, or a stall.

Impressive for sure! Pulling the spare tire and tailgate should be good for 100-150 lbs.

Agreed. Will most likely pull out the back seats as well.

I'm about fast and having fun, but weight reduction on a pickup, I think that's a little crazy to try to pick up a tenth or so.

I guess for me it would be more academic than anything else to see with losing those three things how much it will help. My goal was 13s tune only full street weight. Now that I did that I will just try some things out and see how the truck responds. Honestly the next step will take a decent amount of money so going to test some things till I get the money to do so. It gets expensive from here.

13s is nice. Getting deep into 13s will take a bit, but I wish you luck.

Where is this guy located? I live in the Toledo area, it may be worth a drive.

Southwest lower Michigan in Berrien County. Shoot him a message or call him. I know he is willing to drive and meet people half way sometimes.
