Well I got the call at about 8:30 this morning with the words of "get your *** out of bed its ready and running". That was a damn good wake up call-literally! Hell that call almost made this whole thing worth it! Everything is back to normal except I leave 30+feet single 20" tire burnouts at will! Traction is a problem! Who would have thought that! I have a stock stall so there is still a little more there but not much at all. The torque I picked up is ridiculous and I swear to you at about 5000+rpm it pulls harder than my truck ever did at anytime and its like it doesnt stop pulling! Can you tell Im happy! I will have it on the dyno next week and should have the Eaton Posi in at that time as well. I still have stock "headers" so there is still some left down low not to mention what Im not getting because of traction. Mid-up high is crazy! A stall is going to be great and I know can feel these 4.10's alot more! I will have pics of all the damage and the installl as well as dyno #'s soon!

Oh yeah I havent sprayed it for two reasons the main one being traction and the second one is Im scared! I cant afford another problem. $4100.00 for the cam job and now new motor. Not to mention the damn near $2500.00 n20 job! Lets just say my old lady has me by the ***** and not in a good way!

 

Congratulations, that sounds really terrific. Can't wait to see the numbers.

BTW - that avatar is really disturbing it cracks me up.

 

Congratulations.... everyone likes a happy new beginning

Sounds really good...Good luck with it (really hope you don't need any more luck )

 

Congrats! Which cam is in it?

 

Im not going to comment. I had just put the 212/218 cam in like 3 weeks ago so I stuck with. At least for the next 4-5 months I just want it to be streetable! The cam that cam with the LS1 is a 224 reversed split something(I think its a Thunder Cam-I dont know the exacts on it but I will. It came out the LS1 that was in 02' Firehawk who know owns a 408 so its nasty! Ill put it in eventually. The LS1 reall ate the 212/218 up but thats what I figured and thats cool. You can still feel the 212/218 a little!

 

I bet its feeling great. All the 4.8/5.3 guys just cant comprehend how much better the truck feels until a 5.7/6.0 is installed. Night and day difference.

 

Nice! Have fun with it man.

 

thats sweet, glad your happy. hey the only plus side to the one tire fire is you only have to buy one at a time.

 

Remember the days when the 4.8 guys defended there little motors like they were the hottest thing since sliced bread?How many have swapped?

 

well i have two jobs and so i am getting the @#%^ taxed outta me (funny you get the second to make more money not have more taken away) but hopefully my tax return will be mega huge and i am thinking about a 6.0 or my bros ole 5.7 and that will kick **** it will either be that or show mods wheels tires etc havent decided which although i can tell you which way im leaning
