4L80e swap FIRST with stock 4.8 and 3.42s then....

Buy a spare motor
Front mount with 12-15psi on stock motor, make some solid passes
try and find the limit of stocker
put in spare motor

 

I'm hoping to get my 5500 pound 5.3 liter pig thrown out of Alaska Raceway Park for not having a cage.

 

drop the truck, pull the 20s, put 17s on with drag radials on all 4 corners, direct port nitrous, put my caltracs back on, run low 11s on the street and track.

 

A single digit pass in the new truck.

 

Lambo is that why you swapped frames? You made it 4wd?

 

My goal is to drive it. Not sure if thats going to happen or not. lol

 

Man, where to start! I recently got the truck so after squaring away all the small broken stuff like the busted mirror, missing fog light, broken center console, busted front valance and worn-through inner fender...I want to finish my 4" intake setup, add my Bassani headers and get a nice exhaust bent up.
For once I'm going to baseline the truck and dyno each stages of my mods so I know where my gains are.
I'm already saving for a trans since I figure mine is going to fail soon, *sigh. Oh yeah, and install my Moates ECU and get two tunes thrown in it.
Fingers crossed I can do all of this...

 

change my 5.3 for a 6.0 with 243 heads, some arp bolts, retune and install a wideband

i hope in the end of 2012 i can say i changed my 5.3 for a 6.0 with 243 heads, some arp bolts, retuned and installed a wideband, everything worked out great! im ready for turbo in 2013 lol

 

pretty simple, whatever this year was lol!! < still trying to accomplish these goals hahaha
which were to run a 408 with large amount of nitrous, size? 200 off the plate, rolling 300 off the direct port


who cares what it runs only wanna do it once lmfao!!!

already granaded 2 builds, and a stock ls2 short block almost gave in and called it quits and was on the edge of selling the truck off, but theres a few companies who wanna see this build run and to its fullest, so mostly at there exspense i guess we'll try again, fully built 408 on juice!!


break down on goals:

1. 10 sec pass with ease on motor ( almost got this goal first time out 11:09 at 80* weather 94% humidity

2. 100 shot takes us deep into the 10s

3. 150 10.0xs <--- hopefully

4. 200 defintely 9s

5. 300 mids or lower

6. full tilt priceless


and pray to god the rearend and tranny holds for any length of time lol

 

You are borrowing my GoPro next summer so you can get some high quality footage of your truck making some passes.

It's anything under 11.5 they require a cage right?








My plans are to get into mid maybe low 12's


CAM, 3600 Yank Stall, ARH headrs and ORY, 4/6 drop, slicks for the back and some color matching, powder coating of some sort.
