Cool I drive through Geronimo every day on my way to Seguin. Welcome!
Glad to hear someone still carries the flame. I drive a slow diesel dodge. It tows the travel trailer well. I do drive a Chevrolet turbo for work but it is a 1.4l six speed manual.
Sounds like it is super lean. Try disconnecting the mass air sensor and see how it runs. You need to log it!
RS/SS 4.8 is correct. What are your goals? What is your budget? Any boosted setup will blow (no pun intended)all but the most liberal budget. All the LS engines are great for boosting. Auto Trans...
Tuning is all you need. 1500 or 2wd shouldn't matter. You just tune out the 2nd O2 sensors codes and tune out cat over temp. Actually you just need the codes turned off. The other just saves some...
1. You can use your driveline. The 10 bolt is fine the trans is weak as is the 4l60e a ls would come with from the factory.
2. That trans cannot be connected to the computer. You will have to...
Like I said. Change the cam if you want. The stock one will work fine for a truck.
Nelson performance will have the harness you will need. Get a tune from them as well so your setup will work.
It seems better for a vehicle with more weight than a car to have more low in torque. If you have to rev the crap out of it to get it to move might not be the Best driving experience. Higher torque...
I think the LS1 is about 350 at 2800 rpm. 375 at 4400. 385 at 4800. Revs easy to 6200.
Change cams if you want! The stocker will do fine for all around driving and towing. Anything you do will be better than the old L31!
Welcome! What are your plans for the Av?
The fbody or the corvette pan will work fine.
Welcome! San Marcos here. There are quite a few Austin are members here.
Welcome. Sounds like a fun project.
You will love it! I felt the same way about my 81 with LS1. Let the old truck eat rice!
I think someone else might be better at getting you the right parts. My setup was a 5.7l same turbo 80lb injectors with a 4l60e made 476 WHP. With 600 you will want a stronger trans that will use up...
Great news
I think those injectors and turbo are too small for your goals.
Cool ride!
Man what a great bunch of hot rods dd and tow rig! The new project sounds like a blast. Great to have you here.
Welcome! Tell us about your project.
Welcone. What ya working on?
The star or keeper ring holds down a spring. I fixed mine by pressing the keeper ring back down on the spring. Then I drilled a hole in the shaft and put in a piece of wire so it can't come apart...
