Well maybe you shoulda’ been there man!! I’m just hassling you. It was a great time. Very professional but still relaxed enough to be fun. Here are my results:
Specs:
-2001 5.3 with 106K, now 109K’ish
-Completely stock internals
-Edelbrock dual intake
-Used/rebuild Speed Demon 750
-Ebay 4th gen SS headers, 1 ¾” Primary, 3” collectors
-3” straight pipes to Thrust mufflers dumped at the axle
-Rebuilt TH350
-2000RPM converter
-Original 2.73 gears
The torque was what I expected, but about 400RPM lower than I expected to see it. The horsepower however was less than I expected, and 1000RPM lower then where a 5.3 SHOULD reach peak at!? WTF! I expected a peak of about 275HP @ 5500RPM. Any ideas what might cause the HP to come in nearly 1000RPM earlier than in a stock configuration?
Right now I am addressing the obvious: A set of COMP 918s to address any valve control issues, Installing an MTX-L wideband AFR gauge to get my fuel and ignition tunes on the fast track. And I am saving $$ and researching cams. Top contenders are TSP 224R or 228R.
I’m open to any thoughts, questions or suggestions! Thanks guys!
