How much power do you guys think I can build?
Ive been reading and collecting parts for almost 2 years now. The LS engine is new to me. I really wanted to build one for my 1970 RS Camaro, but couldn't really justify it having built a gen 1 small block.
What I could justify was getting a truck. My family could use one.
At first I bought a P1SC kit. I sold it and decided I wanted to play with a turbo.
My 2000 Silverado has about 80k on it now and I've almost collected all of my parts! Woohoo!!
So it's a RCSB. I'm wondering what your guys's guesses are as to how fast I can go in the quarter mile and how much power you guys think I can make.
Here's the list:
2000 Silverado, RCSB
Turbonetics ceramic ball bearing 76mm turbo, HP76mm compressor with a F1-68mm turbine and .81 A/R
KB Racing intercooler with Tial 50mm BOV
KB Racing hot parts with 3.5 inch downpipe, and JGS 40mm wastegate
2002 LS6 cam
204/218 int/exh @ 0.05" duration
0.551" / 0.547" int/exh lift
117.5 LSA
LS7 lifters
60lb injectors
LS e-fans
4L80E
Yank SC3000 stall torque converter
NP149 AWD transfercase
40K transmission cooler
Trutrac
I also have 05+ front brakes with SUV dual piston rear caliper's and hydroboost. My truck is lowered approximately 3 inches all the way around with Hellwig swaybars and Monomax shocks. I'm also running 20" Centerline Stingray III's with new Firestone tires.
I haven't bought my fuel pump yet, but it'll probably be the Aeromotive 340.
My truck weighs 5050lbs.

Oh I for got to add Comp Cams 7.35 pushrods, and LS6 valve springs to the list.
As far as the front differential, all I have to do is engage 4hi and unplug it. There is speculation that the AWD front end is stronger because it's all one piece. Although, there are several folks that have ran with the 4wd front end and have had no problems.
It's hard to find a complete front end to swap because I have 3.73 gears.

There is nothing wrong trying it the way you are, but if you do decide to go on the hunt for a AWD front differential, all the GMT-800 Yukon Denali's and Escalade's (AWD versions), not to mention the Sierra C³'s came with 3.73's. The front axle from a Yukon Denali or Escalade would obviously be the easiest to locate.
