I have a 03 5.7 vette motor in my truck... It's a peice a cake.... I used all the truck accesories the truck computer will run the motor just fine until you get a good tune on it.

Yeah, but I pulled 101mph too....
I've got a lot of issues that I'm still trying to work out with the truck. The tranny was on it's way out on the 13.9 pass!
I was also on my 20" rims/low pro tires with an open rear end, which got me a 2.4 60". I think that once the stall/80E/4.10's/Eaton get installed, I should be able to pull out some really low 13s/high 12s on the motor.
I still need to get some tuning done too.
Okay, enough ricer excuses. LOL

Yeah, I was going to get a converter when I did the motor, but something told me not to. I'm glad that I didn't, or I could have had a screwed up brand new converter. The tranny fluid is burned and the tranny slips between gears after 3 passes at Gainesville w/ the LS1.
The LSA is 112. It should pick up QUITE a bit with a converter, some gear, some tuning, and a non-slipping tranny.

nice I ws thinking abou doing the same thing, but I think money wise I will just throw ina big cam into the 5.3 and add a stall, shift kit and call it quits (unless??) you know how it goes.
