Nice! What made you give up on the LQ9 idea?

 

How much it was going to cost in the long run, I can get a complete running LQ for half of what it was gonna cost. Also I figured that the 5.3 tore threw 3 transmissions so it's a damn good running little motor. If I'm not happy with this I will think about going FI.

 

Sounds like we will be finishing our builds about the same time, Early Xmas for us

 

I can only hope that I'll be done by then.

 

All you need is a cam, right?

I swapped my heads in a day, so heads and cam swap shouldn't take any longer than a weekend even if you run into a problem or two...

 

Yeah just a cam and I just waiting to receive the information from Patrick G as to what cam I should get.

My buddy that is going to be helping me said that we should have the heads done in a day and the cam the following day.

Do you know of any where that has a dyno that will fit my truck? ACA no longer has a dyno.

 

There's a few places I know of with dynos, but I've never actually been to them. So I wouldn't know if full-size trucks would fit on them. There's Verocious Motorsports in Wilmington, Race Proven Motorsports in Claymont, and some other place that a friend of mine always talks about...

 

The guy helping me do the work, he works at Race Proven Motorsports and ge said that dyny won't fit my truck. I'd just like to get a before and after HP/TQ numbers to see how much I gained.

 

UPDATE! UPDATE!

The swap was done last weekend. I decided to go with a used cam from a friend of mine for a good deal, it came out of a Camaro. I have photos that I am uploading now, I will post them in a few.

Noticed a incredible difference in power, still tweaking out the tune but its a real blast to drive now! MPG Sucks but I will not be complaining.
