Suggestions on build....
Suggestions on build.... I am looking for a cam for the following: ( I have already sent a pm to PatrickG)
As for the rest please any input you have will be appreciated.....
2002 Gmc Sierra rcsb
*5.3L/4L60E
*Powerdyne supercharger- (I was told it will make about 6-7 psi and with a pulley I can make it up to 9 psi. Unit was just rebuilt.)
*Patriot stage 2.5 heads
*LT headers
*Arp head studs
*Arp rod bolts
*Gmpp single plane intake
*Aaron's elbow
*42lb injectors--Is this enough? If not what size?
*Walbro 255
*Fast fuel rails
**I am looking for a stall but have no idea what size. What would you recommend?
The truck is a daily driver but gas mileage is not an issue for me, Truck sits on 22" wheels and I am installing 4.56 gears to help with that.
** Also looking to get an intercooler and was hoping you can advise me on which one. I can fabricate brackets if needed.
** I am also looking at doing a blow off valve? or waste gate? which one or what do I do about this. The unit currently has the stock one that it comes with but was hoping for something aftermarket thats loud.
What spark plugs do you recommend for this? What gap?
Sorry for all the question, I am a newb at forced induction and I want to get everything right the first time.
I know alot of you guys are not fans of Powerdyne but this is what I have to work with.

I am open to gear options as well, if they are too much I can change that on the list. With 22" wheels, I'd figure it would need a better gear ratio. I will be doing a tru trac while I am in the rear end.

With the heads cam intake blower etc I think it would have plenty of get up and go without changing gears. Also the injectors seem small. Im getting.my setup together now and also will have heads cam etc and a tc76. I was told 65lb siemens will work.
I'd do 60lb injectors and 4.10's with your 4 spd. I'd also go with a 2800 or 3000 stall maybe 3200 at the most. Have a spec sheet filled out for Greg at FTI. He can hook you up, he's one of the best as are all of the other sponsors on the site.

Call a local speed shop or a vendor they will gladly answer all your questions usually. The shop that's gunna do mine is helping.me out alot. I ask, they answer, I buy. Eventually they'll put it all on so I figure they're the ones I should talk to about it.
