Sold my 04 GTO project about a year and a half ago,bought an 06 Z06,and love it!
But i've been wanting to do a LS turbo project bad!I've even been gathering some turbo parts.
So i've been looking for a solid beater 99+ RCSB 2WD for a number of months,and this is what i've come up with...07 4.8,G80 3.23,PL 115k miles,rougher in real life than in the pics,this was used as a truck LOL.($5300)
PLAN: Drop it 4/7",good cam/springs,Single MasterPower T76 (undecided on Hot/Cold side at this point)and supporting mods and some Bogarts
GOAL:Just looking to have a pile of fun pushing the limits of the 4.8 longblock and 4L65E,since it's not going to be a DD gonna crank the boost on race fuel.We do have a local 1/2 mile event that i may aim for.
I do have an LS6 block/crank,LS3 rods and Diamond pistons in the garage for back-up.
Budget:keep it to a min. so the old lady doesn't catch on!
So no real rush,but going to try to keep progress steady-I'll post pics as i go

Nice truck. Should be a fun project for sure.

 

Nice, but sounds like the 4l60 isnt long for this world!

I'm doing a similar build on a 05 4.8, but I just wrapped up my 4l80 swap.

 

...only made a bit of progress thus far:
Got a black W/T grill and bumper installed
Removed all badging and wheel lip trim
Bought Belltech front struts and spindles
Ordered a Static flip kit
Ordered rear 15x11.5 Bogart D10's,gonna figure out the fronts once suspension is installed...
Bought a Procharger 3 core intercooler
I have decided on the Trick Stage 4 Hotside and am waiting to talk to Rick and place the order*EDIT-Ordered!!!
Also picked up some GT500 injectors to get me by for now.
Stuff i had before i got the project:
MP T76 Q trim 1.00 A/R
DEI blanket
Autometer Boost gauge
NGK wideband
Turbosmart in-cab manual boost controller

Blacked out, also didn't realize the 07 bumper didn't have an opening...

 

Where's this 1/2 mile event? May have to attend.

 

Race the Runway 2014

 

...waiting on the hot side and the flip kit...
Got the rear Bogarts from Rich 15x11.5" 7.5" offset
Mounted a 315/60 Hoosier Drag Radial to try,looks like it will work,but eventually would like to go to the 295/65 Mickey DR

 

Lets see some pics of them on the truck.
