With oil, or arp lube, or something else? Even if you are just using oil, that is a lot of torque!!! on those studs.

I don't know if I could be that close to a 4.99 and not try every trick in the book, to get it. And to be getting it with a stock-parts-shortblock, would be monumental.

That's with the ARP ultra lube. Yeah, we've taken the past 2 days off to rest up from the race, lol. We're gonna come up with something, might have to upgrade to a T6 flange, and a bigger turbo.

Its 2.5 off the stock manifolds to the merge.

We started this build in Nov. 2011. It was just gonna be a quick throw together, then it got out of hand. Lol

I can tell you EXACTLY where it went off the rails. It was the damn cable drive for the fuel pump! As soon as we did that, everything else got overbuilt for this measly stock bottom-end 5.3!

Based on our conversation today, I think we are! I will be in touch when we start getting serious about a change.

Thanks for your time today!

The engine is budget.

The wrapper around it is the expensive piece!
