Very nice to hear! I'll be doing the same thing with mine, with a single walbro 450 like he ran in the truck.

They do a lot better when you smash the relief.

Hey Denmah - I'm doing a G Body (Grand National) LQ4 swap and looking to get hold of a turbo header like the one u have here in the truck.

Where do I get it?

Love yours and want one just like it. Couldn't find it on the Wiki u created....thx

I love the builds you put together. On a different note, using the old school sbc have you got any good power numbers dynoing a 69mm gt45 1.05 turbine on say a 355 in your adventures? I know ls style are great, but is it worth doing on a old school vortech headed 355 with a 214/224 hyd cam with 9:1 compression if you already have the parts? Thanks for all the info and tech tips you share, and happy new year!

Hotsix-There is a guy on FB making some Logs you can check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/Boos...6536844136881/

yup...still no facebook.


also, you can get passenger manifolds like that from several different sources. trick, kb, to name a couple. most i have seen use a stock drivers truck manifold. truck guys seem to love them. i would like to give one a try on my Nova, but i have only seen 1-2 used in a car based app. not sure the room is there for rear crossover.

installed a boost actuated dump valve on the bottom of the downpipe and a left over **** flowmaster muffler on the middle of the truck to quiet and calm it down lol

mission success, its even quieter and the dump automatically opens at 6psi

Was it number 7 piston....? I had the same problem with my truck. Come to find out the rear steam vent ports were plugged and it didn't help when I had detonation running low boost. Those rear pistons go lean quick! I would run the 99-02 truck steam vent system. I did that on my new 5.3 and problem solved.

Matt,
What do you think about the 3.73 gears in the Colorado?
I am building a 5.3 turbo, 4L80 C10 w/29" tires that should weigh in at about 3900lbs and I have a set of 3.73s that I would like to use, but I was afraid that they would be too low. I was planning to buy something a little taller, but I would like to use the 3.73 since I already have them.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Pat

eh we have plugged them all before also, obviously it helps a little but i wouldnt put all your faith into the 8th inch water ports to save your motor, i was really pushing the tuneup fair and simple lol

unsure yet, i feel like its a little short on the highway i like to cruise at a pretty high speed.

i might eventually goto 3.27 lowest or 3.55

but im pretty happy with it, ill know for sure if its what i want after i make some passes at the track

Thanks. I've kind of been leaning to a 3.55 or maybe a 3.42.
Be sure and report back if you don't mind. I know you will anyway. lol


Thanks

NAFLASH

Might be a dumb question but why aren't you running a 4L80E, Matt?
