What to buy question
What to buy question well with graduation coming around within the next 6 months or so( and my birthday and Christmas before it) i was wondering what i should do with my money my thoughts were either spend the money to do forged rods/pistons in my 5.3 and a single plane setup with a sheetmetal elbow or do a 75mm s400 turbo kit and keep my stock bottom end for now i figure either way im doing the installing/building (my dads been a welder/metal fabricator/avid drag racer for 22+ years) so i can keep some of the cost down on the turbo kit
option1 would come down costing around 2100ish
Wiseco -2.2cc 3.80 bore pistons
Eagle 6.125" H beam rods with arp 2000 bolts
vic jr with fuel rails
intakeelbows.com sheetmetal elbow
or option 2 would be a little more expensive (around 2500ish) but funner and faster...
75mm s400 turbo
tial 38mm WG
turbo xs BOV
80lb injectors (e85)
etc.....
current list of mods to the 5.3
218/224 .550/.550 114lsa cam
tsp pushrods
arp rod bolts
ls1 intake
28.8lb injectors
