Well I'm going to start my build thread. My truck has gone through a few changes over the past couple years.

It started out its life as a 2007 classic RCSB Regency with a 5.3, jba shorty headers, 4L60E, and G80 w/3.73s.

The shorties were quickly sold and a set of Mac midlengths were installed and a custom dirt_track_racer81 y-pipe was fabbed up. The first nitrous kit was installed somewhere around this time with a comp 212/218 .522/529 114LSA cam. This setup lasted a while then I changed things up completely.

I installed a set of AEM lts with 2.5" true duals into moroso spiral flow mufflers and an MTI T1 cam and a different nitrous kit. This setup was good for 435rwhp on a 75 shop and a 12.86 @ 107mph...and 22mpg

Well the nitrous never got used and was sold and eventually so was the cam...in favor a bigger one. We installed a lunati 232/237 .600 112LSA. Never dynoed or made it to the track, but it was strong.

Now to the new setup...TURBO
The lunati cam has been sold, aem lts are going to their new owner soon and the turbo build will be commence. Initial setup will consist of:
"New"(to me) 5.3L
Truck intake
29X9X4 intercooler
60-1 turbo
Custom dirt_track racer81 front mount turbo kit
4L60E w/shift kit
2800 stall
3.73s w/auburn diff

While the truck is down I'm going to try and clean it up a little. There will changes in the future, I.e. Bigger turbo, bigger motor, trans etc...pics will be posted along the way!!

 

dang very nice setup you are going to have! Good luck and keep us posted on this! btw dirt track front mount kit haha imma need one of those for free! haha( just to check quality of course)

 

Sounds good Dan, good luck with the build. Any power or e/t goals??? That's a pretty small turbo...

I've gotta feeling that trans will need more than a shift kit too

 

I'd like to run an 11.99. I'll prolly need more turbo. We'll have to see. Kyle (kbracing) ran his with just a shiftkit for a long time. Just have to see how it goes

 

good luck with the build!!!!

 

Sounds like your on a good start. That turbos, gona be like running N2O around town in a front mount, but will be done at about 450rwhp,

 

That'll work for now

 

Or you could just buy my turbo. It should get a RC to do an 11.99.

 

I'll also be running an 04 LS6 cam. Forgot to put that in there

 

Did I read correctly that you will be swapping motors too??? Is your hurt?
