Default 4.3L to 5.7L LS1 complete!







a HUGE thanks goes out to Wickedspeed Motorsports, for doing the job and doing the job so well! :happy:

here's a few responses to questions people have asked on other forums:

hows it run? how do you think it runs?? :LOL:it runs strong. from the line, it'll just roast the tires...rolling 30, it'll light em up as well, but it loves the 30-80 run :head2: ...rolling 60, it'll bounce up to 90 with a quickness.

The intake? that's the first of wickspeed's new intakes...i really like the way it looks, what do you think?

The exhaust? sounds amazing. not over powering at 2k and under...sounds real nice at 3k-4k...and sounds evil as hell anywhere above that. from 3.5k and down or so, you can almost mistake it for a regular truck with a nice exhaust...anywhere above that and they know something is a little off under my hood :LOL:

Cost? well all the parts, including a few items that i didn't use, around 6k. as far as the labor goes...i got a great deal, so i'm not going to go into it, so don't ask :LOL:

Few people have commented saying "it looks factory"...i love that! that was the idea from day one and wickedspeed pulled it off nicely:head:

As far as burnout pics and vids? soon...my friend's pos computer blows. i'll post em as soon as i can.

Looks great! Congrats....I'm sure it feels strong. Can't wait to see more pics and video. With all that room from the electric fans, I would think you could go bigger on the air intake tube, with more of a gradual bend. Great job tho!

The 4.3L is faster......... j/k. Nice set up, the 4.3L is really slow.
