Well, i feel like i have a good combination now 
Some of you know i had a 5.3 bored 30 and a GT-42 turbo. Something went wrong in the engine it was making a noise i could not live with.
So i was talking with Mark (turbogibbs) about it and he agreed to build an engine for me. Then all of the decisions had to be made
. I'm not really a guy that does what everybody else does, so we decided to bore my block and stroke it to get some extra room in there. Put a nice cam with a slight bumpity bump to it and a new PI 3200 converter.
The engine loves the GT-42 now and the stall seems to compliment everything very good. I was out tuning early this morning and got everything in line to 8#. This freakin thing ROCKS
.
Unlike the old setup off the line (read from a redlight) almost instant boost i can't wait to see how much my 60' improves.
Looks like Mark did a good job

Cody...next time you get over this way give me a yell, we'll go for a spin.
David...i am anxious to get to the track. I've had the engine in a little over a week, when it gets a solid 15# tune i'll be there
