Talking Finally...im getting closer

I know I havent posted anything on here in a while, but im still around
Havent had anything to report until now. My engine is finished, just picked it up. Now all i have to do is get the install done. I hope to have an update on the finished product in another couple of weeks.

Great to see you back! I've got a little project going myself. Just ordered the transmission today, so it looks like it will be done with the last week of September. Good luck on everything and keep us posted. Seeing your truck at Hubcity was the deciding factor on my 6.0L purchase.

Thanks guys. I cant wait to get it running. No real secrets to tell. It's a stock bore Lq4 6liter. Used ARP head studs,main studs and rod bolts. Stock crank and rods. Diamond pistons(dished). Put in a bigger cam. Compression came out to be 9:52.1
Not sure how much boost i'm going to run yet. I'm hoping to get 500rwhp and torque out of it

I hate to say this, but I dont think i can make CTC or Thunder shoot out. Depends on how well everything works out.
I'm running the stock 6.0 heads,317 castings.No port work. I just installed some comp springs and titanium retainers.
I will be getting Futral to tune it.Gonna get started on it this weekend. Not gonna rush things. Hope to have it running in a couple of weeks.
