Going for MOAR power, new motor and MOAR goodies! gen IV 5.3 & tc78
Popped the old iron block 5.3 on the dyno last go around, broke a ring land on piston #7. So naturally its time for an upgrade
Here was my old setup-
And here is the upgrades in the new setup
-gen IV aluminum 5.3, uses the newer LS3/LS2 components and should be a stronger motor, also dropping 100lbs on the front end couldnt hurt
-Cooling Mist boost activated deluxe kit with their super atomizing injector and solenoid upgrade
-Patrick G custom ground cam 22*/22* 60*/60* @ 115+ 4
-Deatsch Werks 96lb injectors
-Deatsch Werks Fuel Pump
-96mm Maf Housing
-LS3 Maf
Other Info-
-Ported/ Milled 317 heads should be around 9.7 CR
-Fast 92/92
-TC78 turbo, custom with a 3.5 " downpipe and a .96 a/r
-ls7 Lifters
Just got the motor dropped in, waiting for my new front cover to come in so i can finish assembling everything
Its been a learning process on figuring out what all i needed to make this Gen IV motor work. but i think i finally got it all figured out
