LOL
The puley is just the one that came with the kit but I want to start off with very low boost because of the high compression. Not sure how the combo will work but I wanted to try something new. I know it wont make max HP but I was thinking more along the lines of super snappy throttle response for daily driving and the feel of a 502 under the hood lol.
The cam is a single pattern 226 that I used for N/A. Rick says it should be fine but if it doesnt work out its an easy swap. We may have to swap anyway to bleed off dynamic compression anyway. I also still have my Meth system if needed.
The DS was built by a local shop and should hold up much better than the stock unit but may rob power because of the weight. i just thought the name was fitting and people would get a laugh out of it. Now I have to clean up the underside of the truck though so things look nice. The trans was painted balck as well..
The tranny and transfer case are stock 4L80E units off a 2500HD. I didnt see a need to spend bankroll on a built unit with as little power as I'll have.
The truck used to weigh 5250lbs raceweight with the STS system and the usual weight reduction. Now with the Radix and 4L80E stuff I have to reweigh it.
Here are pics of the motor before it went in. I just have to clean up the truck so some of this stuff shows lol.
It made 345rwhp N/A but the TQ was a kinda choppy.

what is your static compression? Got a shift kit in that 4L80?

Thats what I was thinking. Its not a combo for 700rwhp but it should hit pretty hard.
Rick will tune the snot out of it too like he did on the turbo.I have the AEM wideband o2 guage, fuel pressue and boost so I'll keep an eye on stuff
