Hey guys. Thought id start a thread to track my progress since Ill be building a new motor soon. current mods are 5.3 with tsp 224 cam, calspeed lt headers, Jakes stage 2 4l80e with circled 4400rpm triple disk converter. I was running a 150 shot of nitrous, but sold it to fund my new motor, got tired of refilling bottles anyways.

My new motor is an lq4, currently gathering up parts for a l92 top end.
Already have motor with ls6 crank, ls2 rods, l92 intake manifold, wiseco +9cc forged pistons. Shooting for at least 11.3 compression ratio. Heads will have very mild polishing done. Still not 100% decided on cam choice, but the Tick Performance polluter cam is what I have in mind.

Any suggestions welcome. here are a couple of vids on how she currently sits/runs. Shes a a heavy turd. Im hoping for at least 450 rwhp with new motor.

Nice to see a mans converter with that 5.3. How did it like the 150 shot?

 

I LOVE this converter. the shift extensions are awesome. It took the 150 shot like a champ. I cant kill this little 5.3 I did a 200 shot a couple of times and it didnt skip a beat. stock fuel system too! I did go through five pos 4l60e's. Thats why I decided to do the 4l80e swap. Worth the peace of mind imo.
