exactly, my buddy has gone through 4 already. he still wont upgrade to a 4L80e just yet even though he needs to. i would do the 4L80E if i were you man

 

factory 8.25 ifs

 

Any thoughts on a aggressive cam that will work with stock 317 heads

 

So after much thought, iv decided to change directions, I think a turbo is the way to go. Iv read a good bit about them and even bought a book awhile back. Stay tuned guys

 

Good choice.

 

You're going to love it!

 

I'm sure I will, iv been talking to Kyle at kbracing, he's very helpful, ill be buying some hot pipes and a manifold soon

 

ok guys, sorry no progress yet, iv been outta state, but iv read a book on turbocharging, and read through some build threads. i think im on the right track, just need to read a little more, but for now, some questions..

im going pick up my lq4 from my friends house. iv got no clue to how many miles on it, but it ran great and had good oil pressure. im gonna pull the heads and check the cylinders, and replace the rod bolts with ARP bolts. Im also gonna replace the oil pump, but should i replace it with a stock pump, ported ls2 pump, or milling high pressure pump?

this weekend i should be ordering a manifold from kyracing, and a fuel cell. pics soon guys

 

Ported LS2 pump is extreamly cost effective and works great. That is what I am running on my 408.

 

also, iv changed my mind on the AWD idea, for a few reasons...

no burnouts (or warming up DRs)
cant dyno tune
less fun
and id rather not cut the floor shifter out of my truck

so im going to sell my awd tcase and replace the chain in my stock tcase.

so can a mod change the title to 'lq4 transplant and turbo into my OBS Z71"
