Been busy working on my daily driver and havent been on much.
Heres the scoop.
2000 Silverado Z71 . 183,000 miles, well cared for , no rust. LT trim.
Came with a 5.3 , i put a Custom grind comp 226-224 cam, PAC 1518 Valve springs, Chromoly 7.400 pushrods. , new LS2 timing chain, LS6 oil pump.
Well i didnt replace the lifters and they werent up to the task, and i wanted to add boost so i decided to buy a " fresher" engine.
Bought a 2003 LQ4 6.0 w/45,000 miles for 1100$.
Put all the cam / goodies in it along with new LS7 lifters, 60# injectors, and new water pump. also put on a summit 3'' mandrel bent cat back dual exhaust.
Also bought a shift kit from Mike L to help the trans a bit till i can get it built and order a vigilante stall from Mike ( Thanks Mike!!! )
got a custom tune, she fired right up!
Then i detailed her and added a cowl hood and debadged her. Not bad for a daily driver!
Here is a sound cliphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFzSlPgGAiE
And then i came across a smokin deal on Ebay.
An Eaton TVS 1900 Blower, intercooled, fuel injectors, spark plugs, the whole kit for 2300 $ Brand new!!! SLP sells this same kit for 5999$ !!!
Heres some quick pics.
I think it will fun on the street. I like driving it but it feels weak on the bottom compared to the Dmax, hopefully the blower will help
