Those are good numbers for how low your cr is. I'm getting mine tuned N/A on friday. I'm at 9.5 cr with a GT2-3 cam and AFR 225 cc heads. Hopefully it is over 300rwhp. Once I figure out what kind of FI I'm going to put back on it and I recoupe some funds I know boost will be my friend again.

I wonder if Justin reads this thread and is aware that I'm putting words in his mouth




And for anybody looking to compare this dyno graph to others. On a DynoJet (or any other dyno that tries to emulate a DJ), the power numbers are artificially INFLATED by almost 20%. Julien would have seen around 375hp on one of those dynos.

This thing runs absolutely nothing like a stock 5.3L and really surprised me considering the setup.

Forged 370. I know it was fun with 11# of boost.

I like the way your truck is set up. You probably cover it somewhere else but I just joined and haven't had time to go through all 89 pages yet, could you tell me more about your suspension, wheels, and your brakes? I'm guessing 4/6 drop, looks like SS rims so they are 20's right? Are you running a 40 series tire? And I MUST find out more about the brakes. With as big as the calipers are I'm guessing 6 piston. Are they off a vette or are the aftermarket?

I pulled up my stock 5.3L dyno sheet and the curve is somewhat similar but in much much different location, duration and it especially the length of it, mine right now seems to carry pretty far! The difference is evident by the 58hp difference. Also take note that they are behind different transmissions. Kinda interesting though.
Definitely fun to drive!

Stock 5.3L behind a 4L60e....


N/A low comp 366ci behind a 4L80e...

Hey...

-As far as the brakes go they are 6 piston front's on 16" rotors made by wilwood for our trucks. Rear's I believe are 4 pistons on 14" rotors, same deal with wilwood. They come as a package called the big brake kit.
-Rims are SS rims yet, they are powdercoated a Flat black. Tires are 50 series Nitto's.
-Drop is a mystery to me, it's kind of a mix of parts from various companies (DJM, bilstein, etc...) so it's a little odd ball in number but it's between a 2/4 and a 3/6. And the rear is C-notched which accounts for the drop back there.
