Of course!

 

Nice, an aluminum 5.3! Is that from a Trailblazer or something?

 

I want a LSX s10 BAD! lol

 

its from some kind of truck is all i know.....
yeah have to do something after my cars finally done.. i said 500rwhp and ill be through and it should make it now.

 

yeah im going to pick up another 5.3 in a week or two plans are to build a iron 5.7 to go in the trans am and stick the cam only 5.3 in my 92. im in need of a truck though so im on the lookout for a cheap mid/late 90s s10 to drive for awhile till i can do the swap.

 

i love my truck.. i plan on doing a ls6 cam, ls6 intake, full exhaust and a 3kish converter and rock out... im aiming for it to look completely like it belongs in the engine bay, even down to the belt routing sticker.

 

thats kinda what id like to do something mild kinda stealthy but alot of fun lol. i got into the ls trucks bad when i bought my yukon and ive been itching to build some sort of a pickup with a ls based motor in it.

 

How long do you expect the rear end to last? Lol

 

I think s10s have the 8.5 10 bolt not the 7.5 so he should be ok!!

 

well for now it only spins one tire so imagine this---> but with just one REALLY long one
no idea man, even if it is a 7.5 it will be a year or two before i start the swap into my truck... gotta get through with college.

 

i believe they have the 7.5 but the zr2s have the 8.5.

 

back to xXx tomorrow, will have numbers and hopefully a video

 

you really shouldn't push that pickup and trailer with your camaro.......pulling requires less effort.

 

Did you get the numbers??

 

Yeah.. Was alittle disappointed but the car made 468/440.. With HEAVY tires on it, tuner said with my 15inch hoosiers it would have made 15-20 hp more because of rotating mass AND my camshaft is alittle too small, cam quits pulling about 6100 so ill be swapping cams in a few months. Car feels like a different animal because it picked up 15-30 ft lbs of torque through the whole rpm range and 10-20 hp through the whole rpm range. Overall im happy because Im now getting to drive it AND im having fun destroying my new toyo proxes

 

How much bigger will you be going with the new cam?

 

Probibaly 235/243 and use lsl lobes instead of esp lobes.. But im gonna stay with what I have for a while, maybe even as long as 3 weeks

 

3 weeks... Hahaha

 

did you dyno it with the ac belt on? if i remember correctly, the last big numbers were without that belt draggin' ya down! good numbers anyway you slice it....

either way, more torque through the rev range is always good!

pull the belt, throw on your lighter shoes and put down another 35-40hp~

 

yeah the 463 with the 317's were with the a/c belt off... it made 468 this time with it on.. here is my graph (blue) vs a ls1, tfs 215's, vindicator, fast 90 (red)

 

random pic

 

well as most of you know no. 7 piston met its end due to stupidity on my part... this is the caos



all is well though ive decided to rebuild the ls2 using forged pistons and scat 6.125 rods and install a bigger camshaft



head is back from t.e.a. and repaired


and lastly ill be going back 4l60e... ive already purchased another circle d 5c(4000-4200) converter, built transmission and some misc. transmission stuff...

 

better buy stock in rubber......

 

Curious why your going back to auto? Didn't you just switch to stick?

 

I should buy stocks in all materials lol
yeah, six speed just got old... Im used to driving the car being an automatic and ill be dig racing the car alot more and visiting the strip more also.

 

Well right on, for your purpose it seems like you will be better off with the auto. Should launch like hell with your setup too!

Keep up the good work as I like to follow your progress. Oh, and is your car a Berlinetta? We gotta rock those body styles! lol

 

Sorry to hear about the carnage. They sure cleaned that head up for you nice.

Bigger cam eh Starting to think you are breaking stuff just to upgrade.

 

How dare you disgrace my sport coupe camaro by calling it a berlinette! Lol
You sir might be onto something! Just gives me an expensive excuse lol

 

lol, no disgrace here. The body style looks just like mine so I kinda figured it might be. At least I think mine is a berlinetta from what it said behind the grille lol.

Regardless, you have a clean ride

 

Ordered my wiseco pistons today... Got a pretty good deal on the -3.2 cc ones so that should put my compression right around 11.3:1... Should make good power and run some fast times... Hoping for 6.99 on motor

 

6.99 on an eighth mile track, right?

 

hoping for that in the 1/16th but yeah tuner said it should go 6.80's even with my 3.55's

 

I;m sure it will go 6.99 for sure. TA went 7.8 with just what's in the sig

EDIT: What trans cooler is that? I need one soon...

 

really nice cooler for the money

how much are you asking for your pedal assembly? and are they fourth gen, or third gen?

 

trans was built by a friend but has the EXACT same parts as a Finish Line stage 6 and my circle d 5C converter and flexplate came in... just like Christmas!

 

so how's it coming along?

 

still waiting on the machine shop to be through with my ls2... which should be any day now

 

I want whatever job you got lol. I've been trying to save for a long time for a t56 but something always comes up :/! Keep up the good work can't wait to see why this beast runs now.

 

Im a night manager at a grocery store... basically wake up, work, home, gym, home everyday... And im going to college and still live with mom and pops... I buy all my parts from doing side jobs and my actual job... Takes alot of time to save for some of the,stuff I have but I mostly sell old to get new. As for the new and improved ls2 im hoping it exceeds my expectations.

 

You done yet? Lol

 

no sir not yet... hoping to get the ls2 back this week

 

Nice! I'm 24 and own my own home so fun money isn't as easy to come by as it use to be lol. Keep up the good work!

 

well got my ls2 back and im happy with the service and people at davids machine shop in alabama!




now im waiting on my ported ls6 pump...

 

looks nice and clean...i wish i had both an iron and an aluminum 6.0l block sitting in my garage!

 

Pump came in today so hopefully ill have it in tomorrow

 

will go in tomorrow

 

epic.

it's like a mustang serial killer.

 

motor and transmission are in the car and all i lack is a shifter linkage, reinstalling my interior and cranking it up

 

uh oh
