Hey forum. My name is Travis. Just took on a swap project and been cruising around searching for endless hours for information on this build and thought i would join due to all the great information and threads I have been favoriting.

the project:
2006 silverado 1500, 4.8L coming out

I recently picked up what I thought was suppose to be a lq9, but turns out its actually a ly6 with the 823 heads, also came with the 4l80e trans.

So I will be swapping in the ly6 and have a few questions.

Thank you all for the great forum and all the information

 

Welcome to the forum! Where in oregon are you? I am currently in the portland area (eagle creek if you're familiar with the area).

 

Hey! Hows it going? Thank you for the welcome. I live in Keizer

 

No problem, glad to see more local members. There's another member in salem. He's building a turbo RCSB. Here's a link to his thread.

Holy cow! Looks intense. This project in my initial post is for a good customer of mine. I have a 2009 zr1 that I like to mess with. He is a truck guy so our plan is to get a nice 450-500 on the motor, then he wants to put a Procharger street kit on it later this summer. Wants to run some 11's and still drive it to work.

 

Hi guys, I'm in the Roseburg area now too.

 

Travis, plans for the truck sound awesome! I have a 95 chevy that I am doing a 5.3 swap in. Once it's up and running and I get a handle on tuning, I have a 2.3 Whipple waiting to go on. I'll keep the stock pulley on while I learn how to tune FI and then I'm thinking 12-14 lbs of boost. We'll see.

 

Alright, didn't realize you were in the northwest! Good deal.
