Nice. I realize that, but if you daily drive it, it could be a concern. 14 is prety good from a stroker tho.

did you ever get it to a dyno?

i did get it to the dyno but the CPS was not working right and we couldnt get her wide open. it kept pulling timing out. i replaced it but before i got it back to the dyno i blew the trans. its just been really busy at Jakes and hes got a lot of people ahead of me.

Cool. I wanted to use my 5.3 for a 383 build but seems like I could make good horsepower from a stock longblock/cammed lq9 for cheaper money. Cause I really want a good n/a driver...

its WAY cheaper to do a LQ9 build with a cam and a good set of heads. but where i sit right now im happy and glad i didnt do another cookie cutter engine setup. i wanted to do an aluminum 5.3 but the cost compared to the actual weight saved was not worth it to me. besides the iron blocks seem to be much stronger.
