Default whatcha guys think? silverado build

truck is coming together nicely, been gather parts and now finally putting it together. just wanted to show you guys my build and hopefully get some criticism on some horsepower numbers and ET guess's? i really dont have any goals for the truck i just want to have fun with it. here is what i got in the build.

04+ rebuilt 6.0
ls9 Gaskets & ARP Head bolts & ARP Rod bolts
stock 317's W/upgraded valvetrain
EPP Blower Cam 232/240 595/608 115LSA
stock intake
Dual walbro's & 72lber's
3.42 Gears
Performabuilt 4l60 lvl 2 & Circle D 3600
295/50/16 MT Drag radials
Hallman MBC
3 bar SD tune
pump gas & devils own Stage 2 meth kit
KB racing front mount S475 1.32 A\R

im gonna run 10-15psi and let her eat. im guessing 600rwhp and a 10 second pass. i know my cam isnt the best option for a turbo but ive seen big numbers with this cam and it sounds pretty good so i figured why not.

Looks like a sweet setup, except that poor 4l60e is about to be put to death.

Why the 3 bar tune for only 10 to 15 psi. Ive heard you lose alot of resolution if your running a stock ecu. Shes gonna roll out though I would guess youll be right in the rage your shooting for. i think you may make over 700 with your set up. Your trans will not like it though

I plan to leave some TM in there. If it holds for 6months I'll be happy. I don't run the crap out of the truck daily so it should be fine. As far as the 3bar, I'll be running more then 15psi once I get a new shortblock, don't wanna blow the motor and then haft to wait on a motor!

Sounds like my build.

Im going with a aes 390ci, tci 6x tranny, ~3.55 rear gears, and a procharger. Also using the snow stage 3 meth kit, 80lb/ers, and a single in tank pump..

Subscribed, let us know how it goes. Be waiting another month to get all the parts to start mine.

That will be my next motor with 80E and s480 or s488


Got everything installed cranked it up and it started right away but zero oil pressure . We have checked everything and can't figure it out. Only thing left to do is to replace the slp brand new oil pump. I knew it was too smooth of a install for nothing to be wrong.

Did you put the plug in back of the rear cover? Little plastic plug that looks like a barbell. Without that the top half of the motor doesn't get oil.

Yea fast trucks are awesome. Around here in Texas you never know what your gonna roll up next to. Anything from 9 to 11 sec single and crew cabs!!

We ended up finding the problem!
