Hey guys, new to the site, got directed over here by one of the performancetruck members. This site has alot of info I could use and seems like some pretty cool people. I have a 1998 GMC Sierra Z71, has alot of mods right now but the best coming with a 2002 4.8 swap(for now, plan on boring the block out, forged pitsons/rods, 5.3 crank, afr heads, cam etc) with a small cam (.517/.525 on 1.7) and 241 Corvette heads with Z06 valvesprings. I'm building a custom single turbo (Super T70) setup on it and plan on running 12psi on the stock 4.8 (has head studs in it, and the lower compression + alky should cover it with a good tune, parish ran 12psi on pump fuel on a BONE stock 4.8 so I know it can be done). Figuring close to 450-475 rwhp, then whenever it blows should be looking for lots more My main project is my 69' Pontiac Tempest, but it's kind of on hold while I finish up the truck. Here's a pic of it before the new rims/tires (these wheels/tires for sale in the FS section)

33x13.50 Super Swampers lol. First track trip when teh blower was on was to an 1/8 mile track. I was the first vehicle down the left lane, spun every time I got into it and built boost, it was horrible lol. All the way to the traps I couldn&#39;t keep traction, but after a few runs and the sticky stuff got spread out it dead hooked. Did the same at the Alabama 1/4 track.

Thanks, it&#39;s mid 15&#39;s now since the blower came off. But hopefully 12&#39;s-11&#39;s with new setup :evil:

Welcome&#33; Keep us informed on the progress. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Thanks, my new wheels should be here this week and I need to find some lowering shackles for the rear. Trying to get it more "sport-truck" appearance.
