Default radix + 3.0 + nelson + transgo + shorties

Well, the truck is getting its next round of performance this weekend :

3.0" Pulley
Transgo
Pacesetter shorties HPC coated
Cats removed
True Duals
Nelson Tune

And, if everything goes well with Flyer :

Comp Cams LS1 Camshaft - 216 / 220 .525 / .532 114 LSA

What do you guys think??

Think i'll gain a little power?

Next round has got to be a converter.

Wondering why you chose the 216/220 over the 212/218 with about the same lift. Isn't greater separation better for blown applications?

Hey Naked, haven't heard from you lately. I got some issues resolved with my blower, I will send you a PM when I get a change, just been busy. (Maybe give you some ideas)

I am going to go with the 216 because it will be free. A friend is giving me a cam, and Flyer wants it, so he is gonna trade me his. The cam is also advanced +2 so it may make a little diff.

how much boost do you think you will see with the 3.0 puley? Your truck is really going to move now. Let me know how it goes. I'm working on getting some long tubes now and a smaller pulley with a tune as well. Hopefully it will put me at the low to mid 13 range. Good luck man.

I would expect about 8 or 9 lbs.

I expect mid 13's out of it.

I would plan on more boost that that with the 3" pulley. I would say around 11-12 psi. That might be a little much for a 5.3. You might ought to get you a set of LS1 or 6.0 heads to put on it to drop compression some too. I think you would definantly hit 13's. If your exhaust is good maybe 13 flats. Add that stall and you would be in the 12's.

You will benefit a lot more from long tube headers too. Might be a little late, but ......
