Just wanted to post and say thanks to Tim(badmofo) Harold (98TAauto)
And Bobby.

Tim thanks for lettign me get the 5.3 L off you. it runs great so far.

Harold and Bobby thanks for helping me with the install.

the 5.3L seems to really run good. esp. since my old 4.8L had 138 K miles on it.

the little cam we put in seems to run pretty good to. 'after the swap she fired right up. so im pretty glad about that.

ill take her to the track and see what she does some day soon.

 

Congrats! What are the specs on it?

 

too many people discount the capabilities of the little five-3.... congrats on the swap!!!

 

man it really seemed to wake the truck up.

i have a 218 218 529 529 114 lsa cam, 2600 stall. 373 gears. and once i get my new re tune from nelson i think itll have a little more power.
all other mods are in my sig.

 

sounds like a damn nice little street combo there... thats a nice torquey cam too... that stall should go perfect with it... what do you think it will run when its all said and done???

 

well id like to run some low 14's. but it is a 4wd. but its a rec cab. so maybe itll go 14.40 thats the goal.

she has alot more torque then the 4.8 did.

 

ill say 14.1 - 3's easy

now I have to get some heads or something for mine

Larry, you know your stuff man and I give ya props for keeping the garage spotless during the install I was afraid to touch the truck since its scared of mine and might break something

 

man i did try to keep the shop somewhat clean. but man its hard. lol ill be down today to finsh picking all my tools up.

looks like ill have some spare parts for sale too. lol

i hope she runs a low 14. that would be so so sweet. when we going to the track??

 

let me know when you go and ill tag along.. I wanna hold off making passes untill I get smaller tires back on this winter Plus the other mods LOL

Im still gonna try to hit the beanfield races may 7th though

I know someone that might want 2 top peices on that motor LOL

 

yeah ill let ya know. you need to race that pig truck of yours too.
