70GS/LQ4

I hear you brother, mines a toy as well, daily driver. Sorry for the multiple questions, but what tranny you running, overdrive or turbo 350/400?

louisianagulf

6 speed.....But the clutch is about done. Now that I have an extra 100 HP I think I going to put an LS7 set up inside before I go out and play.

I thought about a 6 speed, but I already have a 4l60 for the swap. I would be interest in knowing what kind of mileage your expierencing with the carb set-up.

louisianagulf

Pre cam I was getting a solid 21 MPG on the Hwy. It will be late Feb or early march before this one gets back on the road. Like I said before I have tranny work plus front end and body work going on this winter. Plus were fixin to build our shop.

70GS/LQ4

Thats respectible mileage. Good luck with the shop

Good to see someone else running a thumpr. I got the mother thumpr and have to justify it every time some asks what cam I am going to run.

louisianagulf

I'm impressed on the way it sounds. I hope I am equally impressed with the performance. When will you have yours running?

^^^Nice sounding ride, Sir!
It's good to see people putting LSx engines into shoeboxes...
I like the way your ride sits.
I'm definitely going to put a Thumpr in my 2003 Silverado with a 5.7.
Originally I was out to build a 5.7, "Z06" engine, but after hearing the Thumpr cam that you have and a few other truck owners have on LS1 tech, im SOLD!
I just hope that it passes SMOG as I am in Cali.

You might want to get your inspection before you install it. I'm not running cats but it does run a tad rich at idle.
