I picked up everything needed to build this thing here on pt.net and lurking ls1tech. This forum is filled with knowledgeable people that are willing to help. I get several PMs a week asking about the setup and im more than happy to lend a hand considering there were plenty that gave me pointers when I first dove in as a clueless wrench monkey.

Long story short, read, read, read and when you think you understand it, read some more.

just went through your whole thread man. Really clean yet sick build man. Really has me thinking about just doing a tune on the 5.3 factory system going into my s10 instead of doing a full stand alone or brain box and wiring harness jobs. I'll be using different heads, stepping up the cam, lifters and such as well while its apart...but the idea is staying in that 10-15 pound range without need for meth injection. contact info for Justin? seeing your thread just has me itching to buy the pieces now.

Well it has been a fun build but time to move on to something else. New owners picked the truck up today and I hope they enjoy it as much as I have.

Thanks again to everyone who helped along the way during this build. As posted above, this place gave me the drive and knowledge to get it done.

I'll be helping out another member with his project that should far exceed this build . Keep an eye out for the thread in this section.
