Thanks FastBrick! That was a lot of battery changing on that camera to catch all that! lol I need to find a way to run a constant charge to that camera after that event. I think i had to swap batteries ever two hours over those three days.
Thanks chicano! Yea, thats it, take the risk, learn something new and take pride in what you've accomplished.

AGearHead4Life, what numbers are you expecting from your 5.3 w/4.8 Pistons (10.6:1), 220r Cam, Home Ported 862's, 2" Valves engine?
I'm really liking what you did with your 5.3L, and am thinking of doing something similar at some point. What kind of numbers do think I could get from the same combo, but with non-ported, stock 799 heads, 1 3/4" LT's w/ catted Y? My other mods are in my sig.

On yours I'd guess pretty close to the same numbers with those 799 heads. Maybe 415chp and if running a 60e you'll eat less to the wheels.
Lots of variables that go into play here. One being how well the tune is makes a huge difference. Also if you mill the heads to reach the same chamber as the 5.3 heads. Then also how different dynes seem to read different numbers.
My last 5.3 C10 truck that was stolen made about 400chp and 330whp through manifolds and a 80e with only a LS6 cam and home ported heads milled .030" and a good tune.

I'd be happy with those numbers! Yeah, I'm running a 60e, get my tunes from BB using the Auto-Cal.
If the 799 heads were milled to reach the same chamber as the 706 5.3 heads, would that be good or bad for making power? (this is higher than my knowledge goes)
I know it will never be a "race truck", CCSB Z-71 4wd, but I would like to get it into the mid 14's so it'll be fun to drive.

Nothing techical to add here... just wanted to leave my .02 cents and appreciation for your build. I have a 5.3 that I just swapped into my 02 short bed and given the amount of nitrous the shortblock has already seen and the amount it has in it's near future.. it's on it's last legs. I have another shortblock on a engine stand that'd be the perfect candidate for this setup. Trying to keep the spending to a minimum on this little side project so I can get back into another shop... super tired of working on my back with sand in my eyes.
Keep the good info coming!
