Well after mos. of thinking it over, I put my truck in the shop today. I bought the truck to put a KB on it, but you all know how it is with this crap. I seriously thought about the trick kit, but decided that the rear mount fit my tastes better. I realize that I am probably giving up some power and throttle response, but still went with this for a few reasons. Talked to Allen about the front mount a while back. He was great, but I am much closer to TRT and they do great work also. I'll have it back in a week and will post the times before and after for 1/8 mi in two or three weeks. Later, maybe the 1/4, but no before times. Some of the mods from Bone Stock RCSB '07 Classic Z71 5.3 4l60: STS 67 w. fmic, wrap, '02-'04 ZO6 cam, Patriot dual springs, pushrods, Walbro, Dustins tune, transgo, vette servo, Vig 3000, blah, blah, blah. I know I'm forgetting some things, but thats the major stuff. Wish me luck, all you guys have inspired me with all your fine *** rides! I am so exited, it's gonna be a tough week waiting on it. Hope it beats my 'Vette after I get it sorted out. We'll see!

 

sweet, i'm still waiting to get mine out the shop...01 5.3 with the sts 67 and the rest of the blah blah...post #'s up when you dyno it!

 

Will do, the wait is killin' me!

 

haha, i've been waiting 7 months for my buddies to finish my truck... theyre building a really nice one for me. powdercoated frame and everything

 

Hey congrats man!! How much boost you plan on running?
I am gonna take a stab at 400 rwhp at 6 psi...ask me how I know!
I'm gonna be paying attention to this thread!

 

I asked for 8 lbs., but I don't have enough experience with boost to know for sure what I should run, so I'm gonna rely on the tuner to take care of me. This number is just from what I believe is the general concensus. I hope I make that kind of power!

 

Lol, bro at 8 lbs you'll be seeing 440 +/-. Seeing that you have a stock rotating assembly I wouldn't go past 10/12 lbs of boost WITH meth. I didn't see you say anything about using meth but I would suggest looking into that.
If you go up to 10/12 lbs I would think you would see 550 rwhp.
Best of luck!!!

 

Thank you, very encouraging! I'll post it when I find out.

 

I was at 500 rwp with a 5.3 and gt 67 at 8psi. Better start saving for a built tranny. Ask Billy about a tq converter. You will love it.

 

500? Now, that would be nice! I guess I'll just see how the tranny does, but I am prepared to go ahead and do it if I must. I'm not known to beat on a DD vehicle too badly though. Billy ordered a Vigilante 3000 stall yesterday. Don't know the model #.
