badder than before. i brought the 6.0 to life tonight. basically i had to hook the intake and plugs up as well as headers and exhaust and all that jazz.

had a problem. i put a ground to the wrong location and it wouldn't allow the truck to start. it just clicked. made a few phone calls and started looking in the book. saw something out of place, made the correction and it fired right up.

it even idles better than the 5.3. imagine that.

so all in all, it runs great. i had to make some minor adjustments to the spark table to get my timing up. it had only 9 degrees at wot. tune needs a lot of work. put about 20 miles on it then found a L to play with.


we ran three times. first time from 20mph. i put a truck and a half at 3/4 throttle.

second time from 50 i put about 4 cars at wot.

third time at 80 i put 2 plus at wot but i let out pretty soon. granted it was a stock L but all in all. the truck pulls much harder. oh yea, i had a rad hose come off cause i didn't clamp it back right. lost my coolant. no biggy.

 

AWESOME! glad to here you got that bitch running ..... now lets go to hatty

 

Bout damn time.


BTW I think at least half of 12pak tuning will be around Monday. Ill be boiling peanuts, but if you want to swing by and show off your new toy, youre more than welcome. At least from this 6 pak

 

glad to hear it runs and drives I made notes on all the grounds and crossed them off as I put them back on, otherwise I would not have been able to keep up with where they went.

 

Well, glad you are up and runnin. Did you have to do much tunning 5.3 vs 6.0 ? My new goal is to be up by the end of september if thier are'nt to many more problems to deal with.

 

I should be around also... so swing on out

 

nice... good to hear man! How long before it gets sprayed?

 

I was wondering the same thing

 

I think as the motor was going in he had a bottle of n2o and just coverd the motor with it to show it who is boss

 

Already picking on slower trucks, eh? Ah, you probably sprayed him to win.
