My 5.3 build coming along quicker than i thought! Shooting for 400 rwhp N/A
I am super bored sitting around the house on light duty for the next 2 weeks after knee surgery (3 months on crutches sux!).
So I have alot of time to search the net and find deals on the rest of my parts on my build...
Things left to order: Pat G spec EPS Cam, Ls7 lifters, pushrods, 8.1L injectors, Trunnion upgrade kit, All gaskets, Heavy Duty Timing Chain set, High Volume oil pump and give Nelson a call for my new tune.
Already have: Big valved CNC Ported/Polished 762 casting 5.3 heads milled .040 Patriot Dual Gold Springs, TBSS Intake, Edelbrock 90mm Throttle Body,
Downfall is i get to look at all this stuff for 3 months till i get off crutches its gonna be painful waiting that long! Maybe i can talk my dad into installing all the stuff for me...he helped on the first cam swap.

Are you gonna run some thinner head gaskets try to bump the compression up a bit more? About the udp every lil bit helps lol. I made 385hp with the mods in my sig, with your custom cam and worked heads you'll reach your goal. Might need a bigger stall depending on the cam.
