UPDATE

This is my 2007 Chevy silverado. It's been an ongoing project since I bought it new in 2007. It started out life as a "base model" Regency conversion.

This is the best picture I can find of it when I bought it


Its been through so many changes its not even funny. One of the last that I posted here was my turbo build
Turbo Build

My buddy did an awesome job, we made great power, but took the kit off and sold it to gather some money for a future project.

I kinda lost interest in the truck for awhile and the looks kinda went to.


Well some of my buddies started playing with their trucks and that got me interested in mine again. We put a junk motor together with parts from atleast 3 different engines, and it ran awesome.

5.3liter with flaptop pistons
241 heads milled .040 with some p&p work
Patriot .660 springs
231/239 .612/.609 113LSA cam
Pacesetter LT's
Dual 3" exhaust merged with a Flowmaster y into Magnaflow Race Series 4" muffler
Well built 4L60E
Circle D 278mm converter
Auburn pro series diff w/4.56
100shot of nitrous just to top things off

It made ~360rwhp N/A

I also made some visual improvements along the way. I think it looks pretty good right now, just needs an altitude adjustment, which we'll take care of this winter.




I have literally drove the outa this thing this year. I beat on it every weekend, whether it be roll racing or diggin with the slicks. I ran a best of 12.34 @ 110 with the lil 5.3 and won a lot of races on the street.




She also gets used as a truck as well...


Well we tore the 5.3 down to replace a bad lifter and when we got the heads off, I seen some pistons that I didn't feel 100% comfortable with, so we sent the 6.0 block that I had laying around to the machine shop for a .005 bore and I ordered some pistons to work with stock rods and some total seal rings. I also decided to change heads and order a cam spec'd for some nitrous.

So now the combo consists of
365c.i.
799 heads milled .030
Lunati .660 springs
LS7 lifters
COMP pushrods
Pat G nitrous cam
Nitrous Outlet 78mm plate
Induction Solutions Solenoids
Circle D 278mm converter
Auburn Pro Series diff w/4.56 gears

We got it finished up around 2:30am Saturday morning 11-20-10, filled with fluid, started, seated the rings and I drove it home. I took it to the track later that day and decided to do some index racing. I suck at a .400 pro tree so I got put out first round.

Here's some slips from qualifying and my first round loss...The first slip was all out, second and third I was trying to run the index.


I wasn't going to run it on the bottle, but I really wanted to see what it would do. So I heated the bottle up and made a solo. I was shocked at what I seen when I got my slip...


That was on Old beat up slicks
100 shot
-7 plugs
8* pulled out
controller set at 80% for .5 second
No tuning!!!

I'm pretty pumped and we haven't even started yet! I have a new Circle D converter to install, adjustable shocks and lots of tuning to do. I think with the new converter, tuning, and the 100 shot it will run 11.40's. I think with a 175-200 10's are very doable

Almost 2 seconds on a 100 shot?? yea right

53n 29f...

Everything about the truck is built for nitrous. Big ring gaps, cam spec'd specifically for nitrous, really tight converter...it's built to pick up a bunch on nitrous, not to run great on motor...if you're going to dismiss any of mine or my friends work, why not make fun of the fact that I only ran 13.40 with a 6.0...I'm not here to impress anyone, just to have fun

Personally, I was wondering why the NA time was so slow with the mods you had until you mentioned the cam specced for nitrous. I really didn't pay attention to the cam specs.

[phantom405]

Yeah, Its about perfect to run the 13.50 index on motor if I can get better on the tree. It does pick up alot of nitrous though. I love it!

[phantom405]

Couple of new toys to put on
New Circle D converter



Cheap ebay breather tank, MSD wires, Summit Racing adjustable shocks(rear and front)
