Default 2002 1500 4.8 to 6.0 mp112

This is an update from the last thread i posted that was in the "wanted" section. Well this started around about 3 months ago give or take when I purchased a magnuson supercharger and yes plans always change or stray from the path you want. I started to install the magnuson mp112 on my 4.8l myself but not only did it take too long after I install it I found out that my #5 cylinder was only producing 75lb when it should be about 150lb. I had another guy who was building me a motor but he could not finish it in time so now that is on the back burner for maybe another project. I ran out of time to do the install myself so I had the truck sent out (I work 6 days a week). So rather than trying to fix it I found a new lq4 engine from TT632 and bought a built tranny from Art Carr. I also had some Doug Thorley ceramic coated shorty headers, a 40k trans cooler, a 90mm throttle body, 42lb injectors, and a 3.1 pulley installed. I dont think i am forgetting anything. I picked up my truck yesterday morning and fu*k what a difference but i was expecting a little bit more... I am going to take it to the dyno shop I hope today to see the #s I am getting. I hope by the beginning of next month to have the rear gears and locker installed. I also think I will need to have my exhaust redone from the headers back since I only have a flow master done after the cats with a single outlet. Pic soon to come when the truck gets washed and AAA towing company fixes the wheels they FU*KED up when they towed my truck!!!!!! i had to file a claim


Future plans would be to add some sick mods to get more hp/torque out of my set up but not entirely sure what exactly to do yet or what the cost would be. Then if I can come up with some extra cash a sick a** long travel suspension or maybe the new Chevy.
