my first ls swap 1996 2 door Tahoe 4wd 385 Stroker to LQ4 cam headers **pics**

[pl4yboy]

well originally i was going to build a 5.3 and i saw alot of ppl using that cam but im a speed demon and i i been reading alot of build threads. everyone with the 5.3 wished they got the 6.0. so im going to just start with the 6.0. i definitely wanna hit 400 to the wheels. if i have to sacrifice a mpg or 2 thats ok. there no stall in the truck currently just a vette. so what would i need to get in order to hit 400+ on a lq4?

Want a list of what I'd do for a nice DD on 91-93 octane?

LQ4
90mm NNBS intake + TB
243 heads
232/236 .600 112 cam (general, would be much better with a custom spec'd one)
3200-3600 stall (Tight)

Nice build.. I've always wanted to do this to my 97 2-door, but really didn't have the funds to have 2 projects. Good luck with build.

sounds killer. looks like things didnt go according to plan with the lq4. so i might have to settle for an lm7 5.3. ugh i hate Craigslist flakes!!so motor is still for sale...i guess i got a free $100 bucks out the deal because the guy gave me $100 to hold it but just called and said he cant do it.

i would think ebay would have a ton of them, and every one that i have seen on ebay has been like 300 bucks or less. but, you know...

and great, you got the engine in your truck... just not in the right spot... LMAO

Try street and sand performance for the pcm I got my harness and pcm complete from them and they can also provide and program one for ya. Those guys where lots of help so far for me. Check ebay also lots of stuff always on their. Wow wish I had your motivation to work work work. Or you where my neighbor. good luck with the build.

Those mounts are going to make you move the transmission unless you customize them.

I like the hard hat paint that they sell at Home Depot, its like Epoxy.
