Arrow Anybody With This Setup?

Looking for somebody with the same setup i plan to put together in the next few months.....

My setup/plans so far:

2001 Z28 Hardtop
JY 5.3
Stock Heads/Hg's/Headbolts
Stock LS1 Injectors/rails
Ls6 Intake/tb
02 LS6 Cam
255 Pump
Modular Hotside
76mm On3
Etc.

I will be running a th400 with a /3800-4000 stall.....

Does anybody besides Fondle have a setup similar to this? If so what does it make power wise?

Comments/advise are welcomed!

Aftermarket rails and a boost referenced regulator should be added to the list.

Stock injectors won't cut the mustard either.

x2 didn't see stock injectors. I'd say minimum 42#ers, 60's will give you some room to grow

Just looking to get it running under it's own power for now, i plan of doing fuel upgrades and a set of 317 heads with spring's to keep valve float to a minimum once i get it all together and running right!

If you don't have the coin to get the right injector size and rails then you need to wait. You can only cut so many corners and fuel is not one of them.

Keep the 5.3 heads or find a set of 799 5.3 heads. Dont do the 317's.

Get some 60lb injectors.

The stock fuel rail will work.
