Thought I would finally post up in here. Here is how the Truck started out when I brought it.
After finding LS1truck.com it has been downhill ever since. Started with Volant CAI, Pacesetter LT's with no cats and 3" exhaust and the world famous Nelson Performance Tune. After figuring out that the 4.8 still didn't have enough power it was time for a Cam, 212 216 .524 115lsa. Also went with PRC dual springs and new TI seats and retainers also installing new seals. Went with a 2800 Circle D reworked TB stall and Vette servo. To get the power to the pavement installs Detroit Tru Trac and keep the factory 3.23 gears with a power adder on the horizon. With those mods that got me to 15.3 @91mph at the LS1 race day. The rest of the mods that I got finished before the race day was a 4/7 drop and some new centerline archer 20 wrapped with 265 50 20 BFG KDW's. Also smoking all the lights.
That solidified the fact that I needed to go turbo. Found a really good deal on a KB racing front mount kit.
After some needed customizing to the kit it was ready to rock. I also install all the supporting mods need for the added boost. 60lb injectors, walbro 255 fuel pump, ARP rod and head bolts.
Here is the final product so far with the turbo kit completed.
Here are the most recent pics
My other toy that I just got is a 2007 Kawasaki ZX10R it started out life as an Electric Blue but to follow suit and the help of my Bro in law it was a metallic black 24hrs after I bought it.
Had to smoke all the light on the Bike too.
Hope you enjoy the pics. Having issues with the ticking noise. Having issues with lifters. hopefully will figure it out before i end up going 6L.
Thanks
Well just updating a little. Well The 4.8 with 10-11psi made right at 450/450 to the wheels. But a waste gate sticking end the little 4.8's short life. 20psi boost creep and a retarded driver (me) helped #7 let go in a big way.
Well in a pinch at work and needing a running truck I found a low miles what i was told was a L33 5.3. After arriving to pick up the Aluminum block 5.3. I came to find out it was a regular iron 5.3. But being in a pinch I went a head a got it. The Swap went pretty good. Now going to be running 6psi spring with 2 stage boost controller with high setting at 12spi. Hoping to hit 500RWHP on the 5.3 and try to get a 6.0 started. Pics of the current setup.
Well since the last update here is the new set up. I will be boring out a 5.3 block to a 5.7.
And whats going in it, Forged and coated Mahale flat top pistons, Eagle H beam rods, and polished stock crank.
New plan is toss this forged 5.7 in with some 317 heads. Bigger turbo, and hope everything else stays together.
Well here is another go-fast part that I need for the need result that I am looking for.
Took this off a buddy in needs hands. Stage 2 snow meth kit. I know that is not the whole kit but you get the idea. Got it for $100.00 can't pass that kinda stuff up.
Linear Mode
