My 5.3 SBE 800whp pump/meth combo
 

Great looking car and huge power, whats not to like-was that at Matts.

Yes at matts

I’ve followed this car since the beginning of my build... awesome work and numbers

For gen 4 guts inside a gen 3 what did u have to do?

Buy an 05-06 5.3, they come that way. Otherwise just swap the rods and pistons over.

yeah i knew that. meh might just have to do that.

because i always read a debate of oh the balance, oh u need the crank too, oh u need and u need lol.

I like keeping things as simple as possible.

same here ! lol

I did go the route of balancing the gen 4 stuff to the gen 3 crank and they added weight to the crank to get it balanced. I can’t say for sure but I believe it has helped with this combo living so long.

Certainly doesn't hurt at all, but you also aren't really stressing the components at 800 either. Either way good job, did it run 9.3 at this 800hp or was that previous to dyno?

Ran 9.3 at 700-725whp level. With a 1.51 60ft off the footbrake. Could only build 7 psi on line due to drum brakes in rear that I now have replaced with discs.also had slapper bars and now have caltracs. If I can manage a High 1.3 60 ft I believe I’ll be real close to 8’s. Went 6.0 @ 119 to 1/8th.

Awesome! What's it weigh in at?

3550 with me in it.

3550 with you :emb: thats awesome !
