Dilemma in Build - LQ4
Hey guys,
Have spent an awful amount of time reading threads and information trying to design the perfect build for myself. I have come down to a couple of options.
On the first hand, id love to stay all motor because all my friends are huge duramax guys, and making all motor horsepower at the dyno days would be awesome. My plan for all motor would be TBSS Intake Assembly, 243 Heads, Texas Speed 224 Cam with Single Beehives and Texas Speed Pushrods. LS2 Timing Set. Hoping to make 400RWHP in a 2002 GMC 2500HD, 4L80E, 4:10s.
On the other hand, my LQ4 has been seeing lots of threads about boost. And boost seems to be a cool way to stay very drivable simply through adjusting boost, and make huge horsepower numbers. I have looked at the side mount CX Racing T4 Turbo Kit, Non-Intercooled. Would run a Texas speed 224/228 with TBSS Intake, and LS2 Timing Set. Obviously would run valve springs and pushrods as well. Have a set of 60lb Deatschwerks injectors I would use with it as well. Maybe expecting 500RWHP in the same truck?
Don't want anyone arguing or ripping on my build plans. Would really appreciate any hints or info you have, and hoping that you can help steer me in the right direction of where to take the build from here. Boost or No Boost!!!!
