  1. they made me a custom cam... .581/.588 224/228 114+4 its an eagle rotating assembly they still need to balance the crank, machine work is done, and needs to be put together. thanks for the help guys...
  2. went to see the progress... check out the new parts
  3. haha lol..... im gonna put some new long tubes on got any sugestions on that. something cheap that will work with my setup... how long till your up and running again...
  4. check out these pics. if you want to know how i blew it up check out my "help please" thread in the forced induction and nitrous section. I really need some input on about where the camshaft should be at... 408, 10:1 compression, radix... i only have a cuople days to decide.. thanks guys..
  5. 408 is being built right now. i blew my engine. i am going to use the radix for now and am keeping the compression at 10:1.....i need some help with a cam selection. this is a daily driver... can you guys give me some specs that you think would be good with this setup and can someone please explain what LSA is in a cam. thanks for your help......
  6. i need help choosing a cam for this build 408 with a radix with 2.8 pulley.. was going to leave it up to the shop that is doing the build but wanted to make sure they were close to what you guys think... can anyone help me out with some specs. this is a daily driver... by the way thanks for your help zippy..
  7. thanks for the input. yeah i made it very clear that i want to keep stock compression. do you really think it will still make 7 pounds of boost with a much more free flowing engine....i hope so... if not can i get away with putting a smaller pulley on magnacharger said 2.8 is the "max"... thanks...
  8. all i know is that it is a kit designed for a chevy silverado the only one they make. alkycontrol.com will sell for 350 it uses 100% meth not 50/50 like snow....
  9. $15400 parts and labor then i have to pay the tuner 350. i am going to use there tuner this time not my old one...
  10. just bought it a month ago..it's still brand new...i am having a new motor built and am not going to use the meth on the new build. will sell for $400 the kit from alky control is much better than snow kits. it comes with a progressive controller braided steel hoses, pump, and tank to replace you windshield wiper fluid.. alkycontrol.com call if serious 949-929-2811 or PM me online.....
  11. not sure if they are on the wrong side but at this point i think they had taken everything apart and they are not reusing anything. the new heads will be ported and polished new cam new everything. they have a machine shop in house and an engine dyno. this place is bad ass superiorautomotive.com. now i got a question for you. they told me that my blower (maggie) won't make much boost on top of a stroker which is fine because the engine is going to be making so much power... how much boost will it make in your opinion? they said maybe 3 pounds..magnuson says 2.8 is the smallest pulley i can put on.... can't really afford a bigger blower that would make more boost...i know my truck is in good hands. wish i could do the work myself but i'm a flooring contractor not a mechanic....
  12. my alky was turned off and i wasnt paying attention to my wideband gauge. i know im retarded .. could have been a number of things. its all for the best though they are getting started on my new motor 418 ci stroker ....im so excited about it i cant sleep... check out these pics. good job huh....
  13. Solved the problem the other night. i was racing my wife on the street and blew my engine. going today to give half down on a 418 ci stroker kit from superior automotive. im really exited but its gonna put me in the poor house lol. i let the wrong people put their hands on my truck....thanks for your help chase. sorry to call you so late but when i blew my engine i just was flipping out. thanks again......
  14. it picked up about 2 pounds of boost with the new pulley. my tuner said he would e-mail me the data logs. i am not that good with computers but i will see if i can post them on here. thanks chase. my tuner said he would put it back on the dyno and not charge me. do you think just replacing the bad wire is the problem because its not getting the misfire code anymore.... guess i wont know until i go back to the tuner......this truck is a money pit.
  15. 04 ss silverado, here are my dyno results from before my last tune. i was running a 3.1 pulley on an intercooled maggie...here are the changes i made before retune. 1. 2.8 pulley (instead of 3.1) 2. deleted cat converters 3. installed Alky control meth kit 4. new plugs and wires All the things should have helped me out with horsepower. When i went to get retuned on an AWD Dyno Pac by the same tuner with these new mods i was making 100 less horsepower than before WTF. my tuner was getting a misfire code on cylinder #5 and the torQue converter wouldn't lock up at WOT even when he commanded it to. i was on the dyno for six hours. he couldn't get it running right. The next day i went to my transmission guy and he pluged in some tool to the computer, he says my torque converter is fine (my trans is a fully built 4l65 billet shaft billet servos, then i went back to my mechanic and he put his GM scan tool on the truck and confirmed that the torque converter is fine. he also ran a compression test and results the motor is fine. we swapped the plug wire from cylinder #5 to another cylinder and it turns out that the misfire was from a bad plug wire...........we replaced it. we took care of the plug wire. my Question is could a misfire on one cylinder be robbing me of 100 horsepower. the belt is not slipping, its making consistent boost, the fuel injectors have more than enough room to dump more fuel in so its not my AFR. I am so upset and frusturated. to spend all this money on things to get more power and get results like this. Should i take it back to tune again now that the misfire is taken care of...I would like to get another tuner but there are not any AWD dynos around here that fit my truck. Can some one please tell me WTF i should do next...thanks for your help...attached are my dyno results from before new mods and tune

  17. thats an awsome story. he's probably still butt hurt about it....
