6.0 Turbo build
So I figured I may aswell make a build thread about my truck. We have this senior project thing at my voc tech school, junior year we write a research paper, I did the ls engines, senior year we have to make a "product." So thats gonna be my truck
So heres my list of the major stuff
KB Racing Turbo kit with everything but cold side
76 mm turbo
Walbro 400
80 lb injectors
Isky triple 12 cam and 165a valve springs via stock48
Universal I/C tubing from CX racing
31x21x3 CX Racing intercooler
Gonna have a HD 2 shift kit put in
One of the head's exhaust manifold bolt hoes was beyond repair I snagged a junkyard head for $75, ended up sending both heads to a machine shop to get resurfaced and valve jobs
Parts got tied up at the dealer so I started ripping apart the front of the truck to mount the intercooler, which is going behind the grill so everything has to to pushed back.
Ive had this week at school and a half day tomorrow to work on the truck there, I got the cam in yest and the front tore apart and the heads on today. Tomorrow I hopefully will get it running enough to drive it on a trailer and bring it home to work on it over the weekend and friday then I have all next week with a half day on friday in school to work on it and Im hoping to to get most of it done. Then off to the trans shop then to slowhawk to get tuned is the plan. Yes i know the shift kit shouldve been put in before but I changed my mind at the last minute to get it after reading a stock 4l80e will take like 450 and im shooting for 500. So yeah...

How is this making a "product"? Not bagging on you, just wondering. Cool project.
