skylark

I did this thread on a couple of other forums but the build has changed quite a bit. The build is a 93 Chevy C1500 ECSB. I have a less than 5000 mile 5.3. It has been sitting since 1999. I had planned to strip the engine down inspect and reseal it. I bought a comp 212 218 .522 .529 cam, home brew cold air induction, Schoenfeld LS swap headers and I will do 3" exhaust with magnaflo mufflers out the back. I have a Walbro 255 fuel pump and I was planning on LS 6 springs and hardened pushrods. I don't want to have to do anything other than normal routine maintenance for the next 100k miles.

Then I got stupid. I bought a side mount Whipple (it came with 39# injectors). The worthless whippletronics system is gone. I am thinking of somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 to 8 pounds of boost. I will have it mail order tuned by Nelson on a 411 computer.

Knowing that I would kill my NV3500, I bought a T56 transmission from a 99 WS6. It came with a spec stage 1 clutch, spec aluminum flywheel and a short throw shifter. I need to find a front shift conversion kit but I haven't had any luck yet. I will also build a 14 bolt semi float rear end with 4.88 gears and an auburn posi.

For reliability and simple overlooked performance what should I change or add to this build?

Yea maybe a little Meth. No IC with those blowers so even at low boost you will fight high IAT's.
