Bought the truck in July, noticed right off I definitely needed more power. Debated a lot on just doing all the bolt ons, but in the end I figured I would still want more. Taking vacation to Hawaii from the 31st of this month till the 10th of November, so figured that would be as good a time as any to drop the truck off for some upgrades.

Truck will basically be getting LMR's Reaper package, along with a 2.9 Whipple. Should end up as follows--
L96/6L90E
LMR Intake
Kooks 1 7/8 LT's w/cats
160* Tstat
Custom grind blower cam (not sure on specs yet)
LMR Heads (360cfm intake / 245cfm exhaust)
ARP head bolts
Whipple 2.9
Meth setup (maybe tank against bed and using VP M3)
Circle D multi-disk, 3200
Gauges and Pillar Pod (Dual a/f & boost, trans temp, and fuel psi)

For the setup, the 2.3 Whipple would have more than sufficed, but come spring I have full intentions of doing a forged bottom end and being able to max out this blower. Still haven't decided if I will build my current bottom end, but more than likely I'll buy a new block to have done, as to save on downtime.

This is my everyday truck. I use it for work, play, at the deer lease, etc. It will see A LOT of miles. To put the milage in perspective, truck had 32 miles on it when I drove it off the lot middle of July. I'll roll over 17,000 miles on my way to the lease tonight.

Most of the parts have already arrived. Last bits and pieces should be here next week I believe. Now just to hurry up and wait til the end of the month. Here's a few shots of the truck along with a pic of the blower and one of the heads. Wish me luck!

 

Should run strong for what it is!

Don't go overboard on the cam! Thats a heavy truck! I'd be more inclined to get a 2800 converter. I'd likely get he 2A 265mm. Anything more will feel pretty sloppy while driviing it in such a heavy truck I would think.

The blower should make enough power on the bottom end that its not much of a concern, and it will definitely flash over 3k.

 

Should definitely run strong. For now the cam may end up a little big, as I requested they do so as to not have to get another cam again come spring when I do the bottom end (408 more than likely).

The hope is to put 500+ to the ground with the 35" tires on it.

 

Is Charlie tuning it for you? You guys live in the same town.

This will be fun to watch unfold!

 

Stephen at LMR will be tuning.

 

Ouch and ouch for lmr, ky come with reaper package!

Badass truck though, cam taking care of fueling needs also?

 

Badass. I like the packages LMR provides. They produce some sick rides!

 

I like LMR's reputation, and I don't have the time nor do I want the downtime it'd take me doing it myself... Ky come with reaper package?

And thanks, though not sure what your getting at on that last part.

 

Thanks. Yeah, they're packages are thorough for sure. And they do, always fun seeing whats at the shop when I go in.

 

Bad *** looking foward to see more pics
