I got her buttoned up and fired off about 2:30 sat morning. I got 3 hours of sleep then took off for PC for the weekend. Although she dosnt like to idle with the current tune, she runs great. Maybe even too good. I got on it for the first time this afternoon. First go from about 5mph blew the tires off and wrapped up so fast it nailed the rev limiter on the 1-2 and wouldn't shift so I let out. A few hundred feet down the road I hit it again from about 10, heard a pop in the rear and let out. Now the rear pops and bangs in turns so I believe I fubared the posi. Two years of ET Street/nitrous launches on the Eaton and she decides to give up on the street with regular radials.
But back to the motor, it sounds really good. It is a bit louder that the 5.3 though. She also whistles while she works. At anything below 1500 rpm it sounds like I have a centrifigual or turbo under the hood.

 

badass!!! That sux about the posi though

 

i'd still take ya.























































































just joking. once again, glad you got it back in. too bad you missed a fellow truck whippin *** in mobile. i could have used the support with all the rustangs around. so Jan gonna be doable for you?

 

Congrats Kenny, cant wait to see how it runs

 

Sometime mid-january should be doable for me.
If it stops raining I should be able to tear into the rearend tonight to see what is going on in there. I will be glad when it gets fixed so I can start tunning and really see how it is going to run. The little bit I did get on her already, she feels strong.

 

Hey, my 6l whistles like that too

 

What set up did you go with Kenny?

 

01 LS1 stock shortblock w/40K miles, F10 cam, HCR ported 241 heads, Cometic 3.910/.051" gaskets, FMS 7.40 pushrods and FMS ported oil pump. Every thing else swaped over from the 5.3 setup.

 

LS1 block?? I thought you were going with a 6.0. I must have missed somthing along the way
More power and some weight off the front now, she should run very well

 

Sounds like a pretty nice set up. What are the specs on the Futral cam?
