Default Z 70FUN build thread

I'm building a twin turbo silverado Z71 and with the helpful info from another member I decided to create a build thread for my silverado on here. This is how its going so far.

Thanks for the onfo on the other site. I'm hoping to have her finished up by the end of may or the beginning of June. The only parts I need are Fast fuel rails, BOV, and all the piping.

Thanks,

I am running 60# Deatsch werks direct fit injectors. I still need to upgrade my stock fuel pump.

I actually havent driven my truck yet, just finished the motor swap this week and am waiting on my retuned PCM . Hopefully tomorrow,

Cant start the truck with the 5.3 tune, it was set for stock injectors, and the 60's will flood her quick so im just gonna wait.

Im hoping for around 380-400 RWHP or so ?? Not sure, Cant wait to drive it!

Then i have a TVS 1900 to put on !

Your build is going to be awesome!

BTW , what is your new motor ? 5.3 ??
