Smile 2010 Colorado ZQ8 Build

Here is the current situation as of 3/28/16:

Work is being done at East Coast Supercharging. The truck has a LH9. For those who don't know what a LH9 is, it is an all aluminum Gen IV 5.3 with VVT and 243 heads. 3:42s with 27" tires, and weighs 4360 when I'm driving with almost a full tank of gas (per scales at Englishtown Raceway Park last week).

And if you are wondering, my truck ran 14.7 @ 93 (2.2 60', no spin) it was in the upper 60s that day, don't know actual DA. Only mods on my truck at that time were the headers w/factory cats (all 4), and 2.5" duals/ Spintech X-pipe/Spintech Pro-Street mufflers. Factory intake and transmission (I do have the Sonnax 2/4 billet servo and pinless forward accumulator installed).

I just got my Dough Thorley 1 3/4" Tri-Ys installed a few hours before so I didn't log much mileage. I was watching my MPG go up as I drove home from Mufflex in Trenton, so I knew I was running lean. Not that the pending trouble codes for a lean bank 1 and 2 went unnoticed on my Ultra Gauge MX. My track times/mph were good considering I was running very lean.

Let's move on now.

I decided to go with a Pat G spec blower cam from Cam Motion. I needed to pass smog but this cam should do well: 220/228 .598"/.598" 115LSA +2.

Other things that are getting installed:

7.4" Brian Tooley Racing pushrods
PAC 1219X beehives
8 rib overdrive pulley/SFI spec balancer (pinned) forgot which brand
New GM front main seal
Mellings high volume oil pump
Katech C5R timing chain
RPM Transmission Level VI upgraded 4L60E (more like a level VII with all the stuff I added)
Vigilante 3000 stall multi disc
SFI spec flexplate
Electric Fan, truck has factory power robbing mechanical fan
4" Cold air intake with Jetex Air Filter

Waiting for Smith Racecraft "Assassin Bars" to be made
Driveshaft loop maybe installed at this time
QA1s will be installed at a later date

Bad news is I am not getting the 1.9 Magnuson supercharger installed at this time. We are starting a savings account for my 2 year old, so that put the blower on hold...for now.

I'm super anxious and looking forward to a nice daily driver for my family. Let me know what you think.
