One quick 5.3..............you busted me man, after all this time!!!! Yep you got it right man! I live up on the north east end of NC, right off of I-95 near the NC-Va border. Some of you guys here know me, I am not over here cracking on you all now, you guys know I respect your rides and expect the same in return. But get more out of this site than half the junk over at DTW. I was a member here a while back when I had my silverado as well one quick 5.3, and enjoyed talking to you guys a bunch back then.
Hey, for the NC guys over here, or anyone really, we need to do a big GTG one day at a track here, get everybody togethor and have a chevy vs. dodge day, that would be a blast and I'm sure if we work togethor on it we can plan it out. I think we should go ahead and plan it, anybody wanna help, you guys send me a PM or E-mail me.
GONZO..............give it a break man, all vehicles, ALL, will break down at some given point, its man made!

Sport Side 5.3...........head porting/polishing is already being done to the hemis, there is 2 of us at DTW running ported/polished heads, rampant and myself. He went full out stage 3 on the porting and is getting a piggy system right now currently to better control fuel issues. I just went with a mild p & p and got some good results. But cams is going to be a no-no for the hemi, like you said, it'll have to be a trick lobe because they can't get the computer to react to it currently.

Your buddy rampart wouldnt listen to me at the time his motor was down, he had paid someone to R&R and port the heads ,i suggested he have the heads shaved .020 and send his cam in to compcams for a custom $100 re-grind and still to this day he and all the other hemi heads look at crosseyed at the idea of what a regrinds means.And as it turns out his custom porting gained zero on the dyno and a lean condition.

I can say this about RumbleBeeRam, he a pretty nice guy that understands both sides of chevy and dodge argument. I know when I joined rumblebee.org, he told all the members not to flame me beasuse I own a chevy and told them i was cool. So im gonna say the same about him. Over the past 4-5 months I have posted over there and he has shown me the upmost respect. I appreciate that because that not the norm on dodge sites.
