That’s weird, usually a Democrat held state would run more fuel taxation with added fees in order to feed its growing government. I see what you’re saying, always get what you can afford! Most 5.3 owners tend to lean towards the flex fuel option in order to save at the pump with added octane.

Ran today:

6.2 /3.42 rear hits 98mph speed limiter before 1/4 mile.

 

looks like high 13's possible 

 

 

 

That's really impressive, I'd be happy with a 14.3-4ish once I get my 5.3 tuned.  It looks like the last gen 5.3's tuned were mid 14's around my DA.

5.00, more a tank for premium?  I wish, try 24.00!! , as close to bone dry as you can with a 26 gal tank is 24 now being regular UL is 2.49 at BP, premium is 3.49 so do the math, 24.00 x 1.00 equal's a good bit more that 5 bucks.  

I wish we usually sit around $5 CAD/US gallon for premium fuel up here.  $6.5/gal if we take out dollar into the mix.

I agree. I have seen discussions on here that people test drove the 5.3 and 6.2 and couldn't tell much difference. 70 ftlbs of torque with the 10 speed was quite noticable to me vs the 5.3. 

I have a coworker who races 1/4mi and tells me Im  dumb thinking I can tell the difference in a good driving day and a day where the motor seems off due to humidity/atmospheric pressure.

 

I asked him why he changed his jetting due to these same factors and he just changed the subject.

 

The difference between the 5.3 and 6.2 is clearly evident when you put your foot into it. I think some of that is due to the 10spd trans also.

Just came from the track with my wife's 2019 GMC Sierra SLT X31 6.2 10 speed and it ran 13.87 @ 100.31 mph. Doesn't shut off at 98 like my 2015 did.

That's pretty impressive for a stock truck. I was going to do that this next Summer just to see what it could do, no point now :D

 

The X31's tap out at 112mph. I think I read somewhere here it's linked to the speed rating of the tires on the different trucks/configurations. I believe the max tow packages do 98mph, the X31's 112mph. My 2018 6.2 was 98mph.

That's good to know. I thought about trying to find out when it shut off but didn't really want a speeding ticket.

107 for my max tow.  I found out passing a trash truck that was spilling stuff out the bottom.  Not my cup of tea in a pickup truck but it happened.

Georgia is a red state.  We have a Democrat Mayor in Atlanta, as most large urban centers tend to be Democrat.

That explains the very high crime rate.

Exactly.  Look at every blue city on the political map, and despite having lots of money and people, they tend to be $hitholes with regards to crime, poverty, etc...

Liberal run states tend to have the highest spending, taxation, crime and inflation throughout the USA [emoji631]

    • Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer
    • Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.
    • My 6.6 gas lt8 had lifter noise with 28000 miles bought new 2026 and while driven to dealer it threw #1 rod bearing “HD my ass” good luck with yours i hope it don’t turn a rod bearing!
    • When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.
    • Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
