Well I bought this 4 door from a buddy of mine. It already came pretty quick, had a 6.2 l99 fbo heads cam, I ended up adding a built 4l80 and triple disk 3600 turbo stall and made around 425hp to the wheel. But of course I wanted more so decided to take out the ole l99 and went with a lq9. Adding a btr stage 2 single turbo cam with dual springs, added Johnson lifters, Melling oil pump, dual timing chain, 210# injectors, 90mm Tb, dual 450 pumps, Holley 92mm hi ram intake, Holley 8an 8an 6an regulator, 80mm vs racing billet turbo, 44mm bov and wastegate. Going to run a tru boost controller from aem, a/f gauge and fuel pressure gauge also from aem. Will be posting pics as I go.

Looks like a clean truck to start with. What's happening to the 6.2?

TLCPSilver06

Was going to sell it but might just do forged pistons and rods With some boost on a obs

TLCPSilver06

I forgot to ask, are these pistons good for boost? Dish valve relieve pistons. Ima be running dart cathedral heads?

TLCPSilver06

Didn’t get to take the motor out, Tranny bolts where being a pain in the ***, but got all the tranny bolts off and will be taking the motor out tomorrow!🤙🏻😎

Noticed your in Houston, saw your short block on Craigslist

TLCPSilver06

Im in Houston but my shortblock isn’t on Craigslist, ima build it forged pistons and rods and slap it on a obs with twins maybe, or probably do a 429 stroker

I just figured it was your it was a 6.2 and said going boost so I just figured it was you

TLCPSilver06

I see what u mean, if I was selling my block it would be complete with the cam and cam kit that it came with

TLCPSilver06

Haven’t been able to do much cuz of work, but got the dart heads all with brand new seals and spring kit, will be going on the motor tomorrow🙌🏻🙌🏻

TLCPSilver06

Well going a different route with the heads, found out these dart heads are milled .50, so way to much for boost, so want to ask should I go 706 or 317 heads? I have 706 heads here, but heard 317s are better?

317s for sure

My truck has the 706's on them. I say it you already have them, run them. The 706's have been shown to be very comparable to the 243's, but I guess if you're looking to drop c/r then the 317's.
