Bought the Truck 2 weeks ago was a complete frame off Restoration guy owns a resto shop and this was his project over the last year.

Stock 5.3l with 100k miles stock 3.73 gears all new Lift kit and suspension
20" Boss wheels 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers

Plans for my Build are:
Trick Stage2 Turbo Kit at 10-12lbs of boost
Racetronix Drop in 255 walbro pump module and Hot wire kit
42lb Injectors
Keep the 241 LS1 heads add MLS Gaskets and Head Studs
02 LS6 Cam and Blue Springs (or Isky triple 12 Cam)
4.30 gear swap front and rear
Gauges: Wideband, Boost, water and oil temp

Should I get the kit built to run a speed density tune or keep the MAF?
Will be tuned by Nelson Performance via Mail order tuning.

Will update thread as parts come in.....

Just a update, Ordered all motor parts might need a few odds and ends yet i need to get and all the guages and pillar pod. I have 44lb injectors coming but I am going to send them to FIC and get them redone to 60lbers. Racetronix Walbro drop in pump and hotwire kit are going to be ordered as soon as they answer my email. Headstuds are already here. Now I just have to wait for turbo kit to be built and then call up tuner and buy HPtuners Pro and start logging and dialing in the tune.

I will install the Ls6 cam, MLS headgaskets, studs,springs,lifters and trays now before the turbo gets here...That way all I will have to do is just bolt on the turbo and start tuning.

Cool build man but where are the pics? Lets see some pics of the truck. The one is your signature is too small.


^ I agree with the above statement. Cam could be better for this application but the LS6 will do. Have you contacted some of the turbo guys on here about a cam selection? Also, injectors are a huge part of any build and I would try to stay away from redrilled injectors. Could cause a huge headache once the motor is running.

Anyway, good luck on the build and update soon with pictures
