Head swap was a piece of cake. Now I've got to get a retune. It runs great but pings on hot days on 87 octane and full throttle runs. Maybe too much timing for cheap gas. You can sure hear the cam now. It rocked before but it seems to rock harder now.
I always run 93 octane even though I could probably get away with less since my heads are only 69cc. It seems like I can hear my cam alot more here lately too. I don't know if it's because I ported my TB or it's just getting a miss :laugh: . So are you gonna wait to get a retune before you take it to the strip? Hey BTW mark it down on your calender Aug. 24 is Summers Last Blast in Vernon Tx. and after the cruise is over at 10:00, WRP has heads up drag racing. It's usually pretty badass. A lot of bad to the bone cars come out of the woodwork. I think it would be cool to get alot of us LS1Truck guys to show up and crash the party. :rock:
All the badass Okie cars come down to show how it's done, huh. That might be possible, that's my B'day weekend. Nice way to celebrate for me. The fam will just have to stay home. :taunt:
Actually I think alot of cars from the DFW area come up. There are are some local boys with a King of The Hill car and guys always come from Kennedale to run for $. Last year there was an old Pinto station wagon(ugly as fuck) from DFW with an LS1 and some spray, street legal, he drove it to WRP from Dallas. Anyway he was damn near dragging the bumper for 60 ft. Just alot of fast as hell street legal cars show up.
motoxlifer, how much of your original harness do you still have? I think you should go back original but that's your choice. Did you use the LS1 or 98 oil pressure switch? And did you install the oil pressure switch by the oil filter in the block off plate?
I have all of the harness. It's just in 2 pieces. :laugh: I have the vcm with all 4 plugs and probably 1 1/2 ft of the wiring still in the truck. I am using a mech. oil pres. guage tapped into the hooter above the oil filter.
No problem. Let me know if you want to go back stock and I can give you allthe wires you need to keep from the old VCM. BTW, did you have a 4.3 in there?
Yes it was a 4.3
