hey everyone i have a 93 chevy c1500 2wd with a 5.7l v8 and came across this forum hopeing i could get some tips and info on everything in general and performance wise

 

Welcome lots of info here but mostly everybody is doin the ls base motors

 

Welcome! No offense but the best advice for perfomance gains will be for you to trade up to a 99+.

 

well im thinkin bout doin a swap for a lsx 376 with a turbo and im either gonna stick with the 4L60e or swap it for a T56. im still not positive which would b the best way 2 go.

 

That's a drastic change! Sounds like you've got some serious coin put aside, good on ya.

welcome. lets see some pics

 

well jordan...not rele. lol but jus the and trans will cost alil over 8k not including the turbo kit. but the motor would b around 430hp to 450hp with 9:1 compression and its made 2 run boost. but im thinkin bout puttin in a different cam and maybe porting the heads jus so i can get 500hp without the turbo. so with a turbo @ about 10 to 15lbs i should see 600hp to 700hp easliy. my goal is 500whp but more wont hurt. i already kno where im gettin the motor from and who im sending the trans to. so i need to figure out wat im gonna do with the rear. im thinking bout puttin 3.73 gears n it but im not sure jus yet. i think it has 3.55 now but idk it does have a tag on the diff cover. but there are videos on youtube of a truck exactly like mine running 11.06 in the 1/4. with a single turbo and its jus a fuel injected 350. idk how if u have watched the "parrish" truck on youtube. but thats where the idea came from except im using a smaller motor. but thats my goal it would b nice 2 beat mustangs, corvettes, camaros, and dumbass ricers in a 4500lb truck. lol
John- good video thanx
