went to redline last night

[xlr82sxs]

and it really makes me miss my camaro.. i need to get some go fast mods soon.

here's my plan; if i stay with the 5.3(l59):
volant forced ram-air, pacesetter long tubes (ceram coated), comp cams xtreme rpm high lift [222/224 .566/.568 112lsa], fuddle 3000 stall, nelson tune, eaton differential w/ richmond 4.10's and a radix when my wallet permits.

if i do a build-up: either an lq9 408 stroker, or the ls1/ls2 402 stroker.. i'm leaning towards the ls1/ls2 seeing as it is a bit lighter being aluminum. but for $1000 less and 65 lbs of extra weight, an iron lq9 based stroker is very appealing over an ls2 motor, and is a direct bolt in unlike the ls2.

as for now, this is my daily driver.. i'd build the stroker over a period of 2yrs or so. money is tight right now and i'd like to go new on everything. maybe.....


any suggestions/input?

The mods you listed for the 5.3 are great. Maybe we&#39;ll cross paths on 80 again and can wind &#39;em out a bit.

Until you get the Radix anyway, then I&#39;m out.

i&#39;d damn sure would like to think i could take you, but everything in my truck is stock besides the exhaust.. and even the exhaust i had installed wasn&#39;t what i wanted..

but, either of the options i have in my head are going to take a little sweat and tears and take a decent sized divot out of my spending allowance.. it&#39;s obviously going to be a few months/years before i&#39;m satisfied. even then, who knows what i&#39;ll have cooking in the back of my head.


i&#39;ll be keeping an eye out for that truck though for sure&#33;

It&#39;ll be the black blur going about 110.

Just kidding - I try to be good unless I run across someone who wants to get feisty. What time are you usually going by the Beltline exit?

haha

it all depends on my day.. i usually try to only put out a 10hr day and get out of there by 3pm.. but summers are always the busiest time of the year for us, so it&#39;s been nearer to 4-5:30ish lately.
