and do a cam in it while its on the stand

 

A 6.2 with a cam on the stand would be great. Fuel system regardless. On the other hand 5.3 + Turbo = 6.2 + Blower right? Thoughts? All input is welcome.

 

Id just stick with my 5.3. They make plenty of power when built and tuned right.

 

I've asked for quotes from 2 local shops. Cam +32% and hardware, injectors and Lpfp maybe Hpfp pulley down and tune for E85. I'll see if it's reasonable or if I jump to 6.2, cam and mods. Any suggestions on local shops? Getting serious for 600+ whp maybe more.

 

Find people with motors built by shops and start asking questions. Performance shops are like women, you need to find one that gives you what you want and need. Lol.

 

I'm ready to do it now. I am undecided if I want to drop a cammed 6.2 in if I can find one for a decent price or go forged if not. With 6.2 I could run moderate boost with LT4 fueling and low side or cam the 5.3 and run more boost. I only have a 6 rib remember and not sure if the 8 rib Camaro pulleys work. What my MAIN concern though is a 6000 lb daily driver with a 6l80. Unloaded at the track maybe 5100. I don't want the trans to **** the bed. I've seen stories both ways. Some last. Some don't. I really want 650 min and would love 750. 900 could be a future goal don't have to have it now but planning. Is it possible to cut timing enough between shifts to make this trans live at 6k lbs daily. I do not beat on it but I don't want to worry. As of now not 1 single shop to my knowledge has a 4l80 conversion. An 8l90 is '15 and up and I understand they can break too. A CC at 950 whp broke a 6l80 and 2 8l90's so.

 

It’s the tuning on those.

 

Ebay has some pretty good deals....6,800 milles, asking $3700, could prob get it for $3500

It's hard to believe that engine isn't broken.

 

it says they fully inspect the engine once its pulled and if they happen to miss something and it's unusable im sure you could get a full refund...been using Ebay since 2000 and Ive never been burned, although it does suck they charge tax now
