Hi there, new to the site, just checking in.

I have a reg cab step side 5.3 4L60E

Mods: Transgo kit (very firm)
DJM 2-4 lower
255/50/16's on stock rims

Plan: Electric fan in front of rad
Single turbo in front of pulleys
(just enough room)
Duramax intercooler

The turbo I have was pushing 15psi on a 5.7
I figure if I can set the wastegate to 5psi for starters and play from there.

The trouble is the PCM is stock. Since lean is mean. I don't want to melt anything. I'm looking for someone within a day or two that has LS1 edit (or something) 500 USD gets close to 800 CAN$ by the time I get it. That seems like a lot of money for some software and a patch cord. If I'm not mistaken, all the program does is change a few parameters in a register. I'm surprised there are no pirate or "amatuer" setups out there. If I wait, I'm sure GM will issue something.

Its strange to wait for something you need to go faster

 

where are you located if your interested I'm planning on buyin edit for my truck maybe split the costs

damn your in BC ..

 

welcome to the site.

i was just wondering about your tires. right now i am running a 275/65/16 on stock rims. i also have a 2/4 drop but i was wanting to go with a lower profile tire, but not look stupid because of the stock rims. is yours pretty low? any traction problems? if you have any pictures i would like to see them. if not oh well....

 

I had 255/50/16s tires on my ride. With that profile I had traction problems. Not much rubber to work with.

Here's a pic.

The drop is a 3/4 from Belltech.

Traction is good when I run 28psi. Remember engine is stock and 3.42 gears. At 35psi, the rated preasure, it's easy to spin. Much better for sliding in the corners <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

I just had a set of Toyo's put on the truck. They are 275/60/16's on the stock rims. At first I was not very pleased with the look with my truck being 4wd and all but it has grown on me a bit. They Toyo's have awsome traction on both wet and dry roads. You should be fine if you have a 2wd truck that has been dropped.

 

Hi another neuby here. 99GMC you'll well probable have to use a Duramax radiator too. The Duramax radiator bolts to the intercooler then bolts to the normal radiator mounts. Also if your truck has a engine oil cooler you will have to mount another cooler up front. Diesel engines generally have oil cooler built in to the engine its self. I knew that idea was too simple to be the only one to think of it. I trying to do the same with my 8.1L but Im currently on the hunt for a turbo that will work for me. Hopefully I can find one off of a production diesel engine they usually are cheaper.

 

nice looking ride canadian...
