Some cars are surprisingly fast, shifting @ 62-6300....

So I talked to BTR . They think I should run the twin turbo stage 1 cam because of the trucks weight. Cam specs are 222/231 .602/.598 112+4 anybody have any thoughts on this?

I made 747/773 on a mustang dyno with a stock gen 3 5.3, head studs, 241 heads, Turbonetics 7575, through a 4L80 and Moser M9 9". Fuel system was ID1000, dual 450s, -8/-6 feed and return.

I could see that being a good choice, that or a LJMS Stage 1 cam or even a Cam Motion cam (there's a thread on the main page for it).
Too big a cam will make it lazy and while it sounds cool you'll get your *** drug by everyone else lol.

You don't need a lot of cam to go fast with a turbo; however running a quality turbo with properly matched compressor/turbine wheels will do wonders

If your push the engine hard, especially in a truck, I suggest selling your current motor and buying a Gen4 engine. That way you dont have to get into rebalance, the labor to take everything apart/reassemble etc. Probably only have to come up with a 100-200.00 difference, maybe none!

What do you think of the vs racing billet wheel s480 clone? This is what we were thinking of going with, we were going to try a 60 mm china wastegate first, before spending $500 on a quality gate. Holley manifold is ordered, just have to fig out flange, and waste.gate placement. Was thinking of the cx racing t6 elbow and welding a mount to it. ( depending on turbo placement ) went down to Georgia for no mercy, so we stopped at summit on the way home and picked up a B&M 4l80. We are dying to put this thing together.

Building a LS1 ON3 76/65 for a C10 SWB. I'm at NED all the time on wed/fri and run 2-3 sat/sun races per year with my 64 Nova, it's maroon and runs low 10 high 9's.

Truck is probably not going to be ready this year since I'm building the engine now and don't have the truck yet!

Stop by if you see me there.

Is that the silver Nova with a turbo? I saw him there a few times he was shooting for a license last I knew. Don't remember a cutlass though. Def stop by next time you see me we can share some build info.

I thought I'd have better luck finding a unicorn in Lawrence than a V8 given the crews I have talked to, very cool to be rolling other than Honda's. Although some of those little bastards can fly!

I'm originally from Plaistow so grew up in Haverhill, Lawrence, and Lowell... in that order cause that was how last call went
