Cammed Lq9 or Rear Mount 5.3

[WARLOCK]

David's kit is the one I was planning on buying. But an Lq9 sounded like another option. It will many be a street truck. It wont see the track much. The whole turbo scene has mer a little scared because everyones #7 is going tits up.

Yeah, that's why I said the cammed 6.0 might last longer. Boost is addicting though...For what you want to do, I think you would be happy with either. I don't know what kind of numbers that cam will lay down...

Well the Lq9 puts down 345hp stock then you add the cam, tune and headers. It should run pretty good.

I agree...would probably be more reliable in the long run...

I just need to find one

[skeet]

2000 Silverado ECSB- 5.3 CAI, Pacesetter LTs, ORY- Pipe, Flowmaster 50 series, E-fan, Ported T/B , Nelson Tuned, Built 4l60e, Circle D Stall, 3.42s G80, 2-4 Drop, Hertz Highs, Rockford 501s *Next* TURBO, 4L80e, and Tru Trac


i take it, youre wanting this for the 2000 ecsb?

do you not think the 5.3 would work for ya? with head work and a decent 220/220 or 226/226 cam ?

what size stall do you have?

get the true trac foresure and i would do a gear swap also 3:73 or 4:10's

or go 6.0 doesnt matter if its a lq9 or lq4, i hadnt raced my ecsb since i swapped to a rcsb, but i can honestly stay ot aint slow, with a stock motor flt trans dynatech headers, and a sweet tune by the way its a lq4 with stock gears lol with dual exhaust


i got to street race this truck ECSB) one time, and it was against a fully bolted ecsb if i had to guess it was a 5.3 cause i walked him like he was standing still

basically you gotta ask yourself how fast ya wanna go and what would my ( your ) goals would be. putting together a fast ecsb isnt easy, theres very very few that i know of that run NA stewart being one and ap2002 being the other. the big picture is staying daily driven


then again just hook up the NOS and be done with it lol

Remember, the leaner you tune it, the more likely #7 will pop. My wideband hovers in low 11 with water/methanol at WOT and my 4.8 never misses a beat. And if you look at my sig, I made close to 500tq with 11psi and i've bumped the boost up since then. There are a few components on the STS system I have modified cuz their kit needs a few tweeks.
