hows that ls2 compare to the 5.3?

 

It's just sick, the LS2 just loves to rev and is eager to get n go

it's being choked a little by the fact that i have stock LS1 heads and a Small cam, but that will be remedied in the next few weeks

 

the number your putting down with the current setup or the old motor with juice? sorry for all the questions. Just sounds like a cool setup!

 

Those numbers are a stock 5.3L with Juice

I never dynoed the H/C 5.3 cause it wouldnt stay running right long enough

current numbers coming soon

 

It's a MTI x1 cam. They're a local shop in Houston

His 5.3 was breaking/melting the oiler rings, there were parts in the bottom. He was spraying a 150 shot on a stock bottom end . . - very often.

It'll last if he doesn't spray this one too !

 

Do you think it would be worth it to build a H/C 5.3 or should I go to a 6.0 and build it like your doing?

 

100% honestly i think that there is alot of very good performing 5.3L's out there that perform close to the 6.0 and get better gas mileage. if i had found another 5.3L i would have put it in, but i stumbled on this motor and figured i'd try it since i'd venture to say i'm one of less than a handful of LS2 GenIII's out there

If your 5.3L is running well than go for the H/C route and don't look back, i don't see the point in pulling a motor that runs well.

 

I 'll start my own thread so I don't hijack yours.

 

Gettin Started on it here in the next few minutes.Idle clip sometime after midnight and a few pics if i get a chance

 

yeah right . . .. who's over there doing the work for you
