man on a 5.3 80lb injectors is a ton. at idle we couldn't get my afr below 11.6. but that was stock. so its ganna have to be a big cam to unless your using e85 and a **** ton of meth

 

I'm running e85, no meth inj though.

 

My JGS BOV was delivered yesterday...getting closer, just need my gauges, injectors, ebc, and a few small things and the install will begin. I've already made a deal on the EBC, and I've decided what injectors I'm gonna run, now just time to put the money aside. However, its getting close, and I'm getting anxious!

 

Here's the CX Racing intercooler...yes, its from eBay, we'll just see how it does.

 

The cold pipes

 

Did you get the cold pipes off ebay?

 

Yeah, they came with the intercooler, from CX Racing. And normally, I'm super sketchy about eBay ****, however, I have a couple friends that have both run the intercooler and piping kits from CX and had no issues with them, so I figured for the money, I would try em out, and if it turns out to be junk, its only a couple hundred dollar loss.

 

There are plenty of people making big power with eBay cores. I plan on running my CX intercooler for a season or two and if I see real potential for a decrease in IATs I will swap to a Garrett core.

 

Very nice!

 

So, even though I'm still lacking a few things for this build, it just hit me that I actually have everything I need to get the entire setup installed. All I'm lacking is injectors, e.b.c., gauges and tranny. Now, yes, money wise its still quite a bit, lol, but, I don't see why I shouldn't go ahead and get everything installed. As far as the rest of what I need, I already know what I'm getting, just putting the money together for it. So, its starting to get real for me now...
