thoughts on torturing a 5.3?
The 5.3 is just a mule before the real motor goes in(max effort LQ). Basically I'm going to kill the 5.3 within 6 months. Before I do kill it, I want to see what can be pulled off without boost and cheap/free parts and some spray. Yes I would like to get a couple of months with it torturing the little guy.
Here's the build. Keep in mind this in a sub 3K# car with driver in street trim. Also Z06 parts were free.
2003 LM7
243 heads
02+ ls6 cam
7.425 rods
FAST 90 intake/ls6 rail/injectors
90mm TB
custom(for the vehicle) LT headers into dual 3 in.
EFI Live tune (not mail order)
progressive 150 shot
my guess without the shot is 340ish hp/475+/- with? Sound pretty close or am I waaaaay off here?
I'm thinking 10.99/low 11.xx in the 1/4 on the bottle. I'm keeping the long legs on this girly so please no gear swap stuff. Gear selection is VERY limited and I like having my top end.
