This is all going in my 2000 RCSB AWD Silverado. My truck weighs 5000 lbs.

First, the 4L80E (HD2 shift kit) is swapped in with a SC3000 Yank converter, mated to a NP149 transfercase. It'll have a trutrac installed in the rear. 3.73 gear ratio.

Im planning on swapping in a 2005 LQ4 with 113k on it. I'll be using my stock intake and throttle body from my 5.3L (DBC). I have a factory return fuel line.

Z06 camshaft

LS9 head gaskets
eBay head studs

Turbonetics ceramic ball bearing 76mm turbo,HP76mm compressor with a F1-68mm turbine and .81 A/R

I think this is it.
HP-76 / F1-68 .81 A/R Tang

3.5" downpipe
KB racing turbo manifold
JGS 40mm waste gate
Intercooler that fits between the frame rails, with 3" charge pipes
Tial 50mm BOV

60# injectors
FUEL INJECTOR CONNECTION - FIC FLOW MAX 60lb Bosch EV-14 LS2, L92 Drop in se

Now, all that being said, this is my collection of parts. I've been collecting for over 2 years. Originally, I was going to boost my 5.3L. Now, with the LQ4, I'm thinking my turbo is too small.

I'm also considering porting my 317's.

Thoughts? Opinions? What would you guys add or change.




Remember, this is a fun daily driver/weekend warrior, not a race truck.

 

ARP studs > ebay

 

 

.81 ar gonna spool HARD FAST. .96 gives you a little more upper rpm.

I would recommend the Precision 39mm over the JGS.

Other then that looks pretty solid.

 

Sweet. Thank you.

I didn't exactly hand pick all this stuff. It's a hodgepodge of second hand parts from here and there.

Is the turbo too far off? It's brand new, I could put it up for sale and hunt for another deal. Then again, fast spool times are probably pretty great, but how much am I sacrificing up top?

Maybe it'll be good for a daily driver?

Is the JGS waste gate bad? Again, it's another one of the things I bought off of here.

Thanks so much for your experience!

 

Lots of people use the ebay head studs with good results, but if you have the money I'd go with ARP and you won't have to worry about snapping a stud off in your block.

What are your power goals here?

 

Looks like its gonna be a street monster with the awd. Your gonna hurt some feelings.

 

No particular goal. If I could touch 700 engine horsepower, that would be amazing. I'm more interested in a fun street machine. If I could get it to hook on street tires and landed in the 12's, I'd be thrilled.

 

Oh god I hope so.

 

12s? Should be 11's!
