Why do I keep getting smoked at stop lights by shitbox trucks in my nice truck with a Vortec 5.3L V8 engine?
Doesn't that V8 make the power of a modern V6, like 300hp? Isn't it the second to bottom engine choice, bottom being 4.8L v8 or something?It's built for reliability and is fairly boring looking at the engine

Why can't it be fast and reliable? I just want to go fast and look cool ok
>>28766836Are you trying to race these shitbox trucks?
>>28766850>Why can't it be fast and reliable?next you'll be asking for a woman that's sexy and smart
>>28766868Not really race but I just like to go faster than the annoying meth heads that drive like idiots in beat to shit old trucks and think they own the road >>28766874I want it all and I want it now
>>28766883>but i like to go fasterhmm, okay. herehttps://vortechsuperchargers.com/https://whipplesuperchargers.com/https://magnusonsuperchargers.com/https://www.procharger.com/https://kennebell.net/
>>28766954This could be dangerous for my bank account. Are superchargers so loud that I'm going to get hassled by cops constantly?
>>28766836These are not driver's cars. They have shit driving dynamics. You should not care about this.
>>28766974I'm not sure. It probably depends on the displacement, pulley, type of supercharger, and what RPM you're at/load. maybe some other stuff.
>>28766883You will never drive faster than the clapped out meth heads with no plates. It's just science, they sacrificed their teeth and mental capacity for speed.
>>28766836Vortecs make all their power up high so you have to let them eat. Assuming you have a GMT900 just be glad you have a 6 speed and not an archaic 4 speed.
>>28766836What's your rear axle ratio?
>>28766836God those gmt900 silverados are such shitboxes.. The yukon is decently nice but the silverado is miserable. It gets its own special extra-cheap door panel too with an extra-breakable door handle because general motors can suck my cock.
Gear ratio is a thing too
>>28767055Mad max was a documentry about this fact
amerimutt cars are so stupid rofl. a 5,3 engine that gets raped by a 328.>>28766850>So are faster engines less reliable? Why can't it be fast and reliable? I just want to go fast and look cool ok its easily possible, and it is called a modern German turbo petrol. dont listen to the poors who cry about reliability, it is very reliable for a tuned 500hp, and for stock ~250-300hp it is child's play. but the key word is initial cost.if you need the truck for work due to space or something, you can't do nothing if money does not allow. fast truck or a spaceous modern turbo German suv, it costs a lot.
>>28769913No turbo engine will ever last as long as NA. Especially not of euro construction. This is indisputable. But you’re right that the amerimutts that change their oil once every 25,000km and use conventional will likely exaggerate the reliability problems of a euro car.
>>28766836Your transmission and ecs are programmed to make you safe and fuel efficient. I.e, slow as molasses
>>28769916*ECM
>>28769914even the first gen shitty bmw turbo petrols like n54 make it to +300k km/180 miles if you keep up with maintenance. b58 is likely to last more than that. there's nothing wrong with being extra frugal where you buy a car for a lifetime but those NA cars are old, slow, boring. so no need to cope and lie calling yourself a car enthusiast driving that.
>>28769923My Coyote makes 450HP stock. There’s nothing slow about it. And it’s got over 350K on the clock and running like new.
>>28766836>In its factory configuration, the 5.3 Vortec typically produces 310 to 326 horsepower,lmao thats sad
>>28769946Not much less than a similar year "hemi" 5.7
>>28769914>What are turbodiesel
