It's still running fine on low boost. I just got back from a short drive for a gas retune (E85 experiment is over ). And ran it in low (7psi) boost and everything ran fine. It's a stock motor, except for the cam and springs swap. Never been out if the truck, just over 78k on it. I think I just got to aggressive with the timing. I'm sure I could just put some gaskets and studs in it and be just fine, but might as well put that time and money toward something that will last me a long time

I can get meth from the same place I get the E85 from for $3.55 a gallon.

That really is the 4.8 that could. How fancy are you going to get with that 5.7?

I've been looking at using this kit put together by scoggin dickey for my 5.3L block I recently acquired.
