Thats what I am hoping for!! But I am also hoping that I can get a good enough tune that it will still be street friendly.....

 

No expert but I don't see anything to think you wouldn't have a great street truck!

 

So I gather that what has been said in this thread is similar to what most of you think...?

 

Well 138 views and 3 or 4 opinions other than my own.... I guess a lot of these guys are too scared (or shy....or something) to even make a comment!! I guess I will make a poll next time to see what people think...

Thank you to those that did reply!!! I appreciate any help that I can get.


The other route I could go with this is an 02+ Z06 cam & springs with stock heads.

Which would you guys go with??
Stock heads and 02+ Z06 cam
or
PRC Stage 2.5 5.3l heads and COMP 224/230 .581 .588 cam

The other things on the ENGINE that are going on either way are

LS6 Intake manifold and Ported & Polished throttle body
28.8lb injectors
LS6 Valley Cover
LS2 Timing chain
ASP Underdrive pulley
Ported LS6 oil pump
ARP 2000 Rod bolts
ARP 12pt head studs

 

so what kinda numbers you think this 5.3 will push with your plans here ?

 

Numbers as in 1/4 mile or numbers as in hp/tq?

Horsepower wise I would say somewhere in the 360-370 range

E.T. wise I would say somewhere around 11.5-11.9

 

....Just ordered a Yank SS4000

So I guess we will see how it runs with the PRC's and the 224/230 cam.... I have a feeling it is going to take a bunch of tuning ! LOL

 

That thing is gonna move, I think that set up will be pretty sweet in an s-10. When you plan on swapping?

 

no many replied because opinions are like ******** and bellybuttons
we all have them but not everyone needs to see them

Go with the big cam and start working on the traction issue

 

I spent today assembling the engine. I think I may buy some CTS-V lifters before I go any further. While I'm at it I think I am going to order some Yella Terra Ultralites 1.7.
