It seems to spin up quicker IMO. No dyno numbers

 

No hard numbers but definitely a noticeable MPG gain and better response at cruising speeds on the interstate. Right now mine runs 24/7...I need to get it piped through the pcm (2 relay setup).

jadaven, did you have any contact rattling after you put your LT's on?

 

Yeah I get some ratteling. It seems to be a problem with ebay LTs. Either that or some people are saying that they get some noise going through the fake cats. I only notice it at idle though.

 

Any of y'all tried pulling your door panels off? It is im-*******-possible to get the leather trim piece back on. I really wish I could meet the dumb **** "engineer" that designed that piece and kick him square in his *****.

 

^LMFAO. where is the facebook button to like this.

 

it's practically impossible....i mean it can be done...but it's a super big PITA...just cut the tabs & clean the surface & use silicone to stick them to the door panel...sounds rigged but it works for what we need it to be

i find myself looking for this more & more as of late

 

Hey guys was wondering if anyone could answer a question thats been racking my brain for awhile now...

Can a LQ4 6.0 be Bore'd and/or stroked and totally rebuilt from the oil pan up to be a 427 OR a 454???

Also...

Can a 4.8/5.3 be made into a 383 stroker???


Im looking into doing a build on a completly used engine engine that has low miles thats been well taken care on so that i can use my current engine as a backup. And if i was going to build one i wanted it done right the first time to the specs im looking for... any help on those topics would be AWESOME!!!


thanks

 

I'm not sure bout either of them, but I think the biggest you can go with a lq4 is a 418. I know you can't go go to a 454, cuz you need a tall deck motor to bore and stroke it out that big.

I guess there must be a break in period or something...2 weeks later now and I rarely hear anything other than a sweet-*** exhaust tone
