Standard 8.1L injectors with Nelson Tune...which arrived in the mail today! Woot!!! Fuel rails and intake and TB from stock 00 5.3l silverado. I will video the idle when I fire it hopefully Friday. Stay tuned!

 

Extra unfortunately, but if you like IPA I highly recommend it. I'm sure it's waaaaaay better out of the tap, but in the bottle it's still pretty friggin good! Cheers!

 

Stock parts!?!?! Don't let my wife hear that. I'm lucky the LS in the S10 has brought her over to the dark side.

Any plan to dyno?

 

My schedule isn't helping me in my project. I noticed a weird shift or two the other day on the drive home from work so will be farming out the transmission/stall install on Monday. Don't want to tear up the stocker cause it goes straight in for a rebuild. Haven't ordered the motor yet. Want to get all the suspension drop parts and brakes thrown on first. The kid is driving the spare truck. Once she starts college next month I can tear it apart.

 

Do you no the cam specs and what springs they used? I can't wait to see how this thing runs. Good luck.

 

It's a Howards cam with Duration 269 / 278

Duration @ 50 216 / 224

Lift 551 / 551

LSA 114

110 CL

No idea about the springs other than they are not stock.

 

Thanks for the info that should be a nice driver.

 

Hopefully you are busy racking up those break in miles!

Looking forward to the review.

 

Sadly I'm not. Got everything installed friday and hooked the battery up and the starter engaged. Pretty sure the solenoid is bad, or I have two wires touching....but I had to go to work, so I won't be able to get back into it until tomorrow.

 

Hope it's something simple!

My transmission/stall is going in tomorrow (trans did some weird things last week so decided to swap before it strands me. Upper control arms will be here Weds. Will do the pump while the bed is off to do the C notch. Dropping it 4/6. Need to order the pump from racetronics.. Stocker is taking a crap. Can't drive it much till I get the trans cooler bolted in. Will also do the bigger brakes while I'm there. Haven't decided on exhaust yet. Thinking I want full 3" duals with an x pipe but might be overkill. Also not sure on pipe clearance with rear drop.

Waiting on your thoughts before I order the motor....

Also looking at a Blueprint Engines 427 supposed to be 625hp. They are about 2 hours from me.


Sorry for the long rant... Starting to get pumped for my build.
