Not that anyone cares but I feel like I wasted my time signing up I'm new at the performance LS and looking for information to help me and I have read threads about someone with a mustang sucking dick and someone else having buthole aids , I'm not sure if I can navigate around the all the teenage BS to find any information that I can use

But if anyone can help I am building a Mega truck using an 04 chevy truck 6.0L stroked (421 cid) the biggest CNC ported heads AFR offers.I don't know cam #s just it power range is 2500 to 7900 RPM Holly 300-123 intake with a 102mm throttle body 80 lb injectors , backing it with a turbo400 with a 5500 stall converter what I'm looking for someone in within the eastern seaboard that can help me out with tuning

Instead of looking for a tuner, buy yourself some grammar lessons.

You are probably not going to get much help with a post like that

1991 Chevrolet V3500 - Gen. V TBI454, 4L80e, NP205, GM 14-bolt FF Rear, Dana 60 Front, 4.10:1, 8" Lift


In August of this year my 454 developed a slight rod-knock. I thought I would limp along for a bit while I figured what I was going to do, but it progressed pretty fast and by about 3 weeks was knocking pretty hard and I could feel the rough idle of the engine. So...I parked it before anything really bad happened!


I contemplated a Vortec 454, but a decent engine was hard to find that didn't need a lot of work, or was missing the top-end. I wanted to build an L21 engine out of one as I did not want to commit to the frame-rail surgery that was required to fit a 8.1L.


In my difficulty finding a Vortec 454 that was worth the money being asked, I started looking at LS engines and what it would cost to go that route.


Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and I am now the owner of a 6.0l LQ4 out of a 2004 GMC Yukon XL 2500 with 95k on the odometer. I got the engine from a real class-act recycler that disconnects everything at the connections, caps open lines and just does a proper job of dropping-out an engine. I got a full drop-out with PCM, wiring harness and even the Yukon Power Distribution Box!


I have a few questions here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...0-6-0l-ls.html


and I am sure I will have more!

Hi, I thought I'd re-introduce myself as I think my original thread about getting ripped off by Thunder Racing some years ago has been archived.

I'm from the U.K and own a company called Driftworks, we have an old Toyota Corolla AE86 that's had a lot of work done to become the DW86.
The build always had an LS, but we've gone through a few revisions, and we're currently rebuilding our RHS LSX454 with RHS 307cc heads, Mamo Motorsports valve train, Dailey dry sump, Jenvey throttle bodies.
The car is currently 1120kg (2470lb) which is very heavy for an 86, but then as well as the big engine, it has a huge Winters/Howe axle, Quaife sequential box, and a lot of T45 re-inforcement.



Videos of the car in action:
A test session outside the workshop

Incar at Silverstone verses a very quick car.

TRYING to keep from swapping this one until I get a couple others complete.. We all know it will happen... 85 K10 65K original miles, no recorded accidents, fully stock interior with everything working including analog clock and old crackly radio. 383 SBC, 700R4, light stall, 4.10s, Auburn lockers, etc. Haven't found a spot of rust even underneath, no cracks in original dash.
​dash. New paint.

Current long-term thoughts: cheapie 6.0, LSA blower, 4L80. The idiot in me wants to say 4x4 T56 but past a certain weight sticks aren't quite as much fun. Who knows.
