I have had trouble getting it on a dyno anywhere down here in south FL ..too big. If I had to guess, I would say mid to high 500s.
I have a few fast cars...Ferrari F12, Procharged 67 Camaro. This thing moves...definitely somewhere in the 12s at the moment. Excited to see what she can do when the built motor is in there.

@@ZO6Ted - I will definitely be sticking around. Hard to find good Gen 5 / DI info and PT has been my go to for quite a while now getting this thing done. Have actually come to like the DI motors so much that once the new stroker is done in the truck Im going to throw in a similar built LT1 into the Camaro. Feel free to PM me with any questions, I have come to know these motors pretty well now.
@FFDP - It was actually on 37's prior. The 100lb a pop toyos were definitely slowing things down... dropping back down to 35s was the way to go, picked up a bunch. Surprisingly with the 8l90 I haven't seen much need for higher gearing. As far as I know, a 4.56 in a 4spd would have different result in a 6/8spd. 1st and 2nd are over before you know it and almost useless unless in 4wd. Going to give a 2800-3000 stall a go with the new motor and go from there.

Thanks! There is a member that doesn't post often...allenp in the 2014 section under Procharged truck update that has a lot of useful information...now turbo at 858 whp? A friend of his has a 2.9 cammed Silverado 5.3 that hit 714/713 is what I recall. Haven't seen anything else about it except he made some comments on HP tuners forum. Good info but didn't elaborate enough The F12...OMG boner lol!

Nice truck. My buddy wants the Whipple but holding back because of the high side fuel pump ordeal. Should go to the dyno soon hoping to push that 700 number to the wheels myself. Working on a 434 from Texas Speed the 4 digit power is the goal. Im sure I will runout of money first.

There is no way I wouldn't do the Whipple bc of hp fueling. I absolutely love the blower but I really messed up not doing it as part of the original installation. It's a lot of work for this old man at least to pull it off and upgrade so I guess I'm going meth instead at this point. I may have to do low side as well bc I think I'm going to do a 150 shot eventually. I believe I'm going to choose the weaponxmotorsports.com inline plug and play system that comes only when needed. My reasoning for this is it is my DD and I just putt around in it anyway as a work truck. So the NO would be for track and badass cars. When not if I kill this motor I'll do a 6.2 or better and do high side fuel while it's apart. Even thought about an LT4 crate and selling the blower system just to have a forged engine with all the factory good stuff.
