help with my setup
hey guys, need a little help with my setup. i bought this truck last year for dirt cheap and have been trying to sort out all of its issues. its an 02 silverado ECSB 2wd with a 5.3 and a procharger D1SC making 12psi. the motor has been rebuilt with stock crank and rods with ARP bolts and has a set of custom wiesco pistons that dropped compression down to 8.5:1.still has stock heads, cam,intake and throttle body. all this was done by previous owner. the truck made 365rwhp through LT and a horrible 2.25inch exhaust. since ive owned it i put in a racetronix fuel system and hotwire, 60lb injectors, FLT lvl7 4l65e, yank pt3200, alky control meth kit and 3inch true duals with magnaflow xpipe and mufflers. what do think ill see on the dyno since my changes my goal for this truck is to run mid 12s id like to see about 450rwhp.

It's too bad the previous owner dropped the compression ratio so low. It would perform much better at a 9.5/1 ratio. You should be able to see your goals provided something in the build is way off. Bob

thanks Bob and stock48, i really wish it wasn't dropped its such a dog off boost. do think a cam swap will help with that? maybe a custom grind?

I'd probably raise the boost up before you did anything else, which would bring the boost in sooner. Bob

What do you think I should raise it too? 15psi? I'm running the stock balancer and a 4.00inch pulley now to make 12psi. What do you think my setup should handle, thanks for the help
