  1. im looking for the TBSS shifter and the cable that goes along with it. if you have anything PM me
  2. well the 4.8 idea is cause i had it. ls1s cost money 4.8s are next to nothing and work just as well if not better for high PSI. however the 4.8 that was used in the truck is becoming a different motor for the truck once again. camaro will get some type of shortblock
  3. thanks, i do like doing these builds. Boost is unlike any other combo out there. the never ending pull is something that cant be beat. I love NA but boost is just godly. speak up on turboforums

  5. going work on a badass compound boost setup. twin 62s up front and 88mm in the rear :wiggle: not actually twins are for the silverado and the 88 is going in camaro
  6. trickflow makes a set of heads specfically for the 4.8/5.3 motors those with a fast should be a stout combo
  7. cam preference is all in the person as for what is actually large and what isnt. the old setup had plenty of power just the powerband was higher then what most would prefer to have. to inform you on how you stated how easy it is to get a nbs into the 10s. DJM 4" drop doesnt work with caltrax, so not an option, wasnt going to swap out shocks just for a ET since its more of a overall street truck then a strip. Clutches for 4700lb trucks are nonexistant for any kind of power but toss in the mix of shifting at 7500-7600 makes mass even harder to deal with. then you have gearing and a higher gear isnt always best for turbo setups as some state. so with all that beind spoke on it goes directly in relation to suspension, gearing and driveline being ideal for the combo. You just cant sit there and make the bold statement as you did since it doesnt apply to everyone. and im sure you like jabs at ppl so to inform you never made a pass at 700rwhp however at 12-13 psi i trapped 122. got best 12.1 and nothing better then 2.2 cause of clutch issues. this combo was removed from truck and the 88mm is going into the camaro, a set of twin 62s are going in the silverado for more of a tow setup. so to you and the rest of the internet greats need to know all facts before you make a statment so with that all being said you dont have to be afraid of a larger cam when using it in boosted setups
  8. nice way to try and make a jab at me. however your little jab has nothing to do with the OP's post.
  9. and those vehicles listed above all peaked early as i stated. does it work? yes, do other cams work? yes. is the LS6 the almighty of boosted cams not even close but it does work if you want an early peaking setup that drops off drastically. gear the setup so its in your favor for that rpm range but if your going to crack open the motor to install a cam get one that is better suited for your application never tried for 10s, driveline, suspension, gearing play a huge role in how a vehicle 1320's not just power
  10. when used in boost the LS6 cam peaks at 5500 and drastically drops off at 5800 like it hit a brick wall. So with that being said you can make power with a stock cam but a cam better suited to the build will make the combo perform like its intended to. however i guess the whole big cams dont work theory doesnt apply to my setup. a 4.8 with a 230/236 cam on 14 psi made a few ponies shy of 700 rwhp. on a super rich 16psi did 702... properly sized cam for the rpm range the turbo breathes will really shine
  11. i hope you would have more lift with those bad ass TFS heads that flow so well compared to stock.
  12. get a cam that matches the RPM band you want to run in. the turbo will still do its job i ran a cam larger then most run, i made more power then most do and i did it with a much smaller motor then the rest 230/236
  13. i ran out of pump with 60s and a single 255 at 9 psi. this was on a 4.8 at 8.8cr but at 9psi i was also 560 rwhp virgil is correct. cant compare any setup to another since there are to many variables. nice base numbers virgil

  15. the cable is the part that matters. what you have on your computer is worthless to be honest. you cant just simply borrow their cable. you need their serial number and application key. plus that person will need to buy credits for your brothers vehicle unless he has a full year unlocked
  16. there was a way to still be direct port with your typical intake. they are adapters you use with your injectors. its been awhile since i had seen them but they do have them out there
  17. i like how hte moron who stated they dont even make LS1s anymore. i wonder if he realizes that ppl still produce these motors and still use them. Its like the SBC they arent in a production vehicle but you still have ppl use them
  18. less maintenance? how do you figure? as for underhood temps...my underhood temps are probably cooler then other ppls. if you take the proper steps you wont have issues. blanket and wrap all tubing and heat is dropped. as for heat on long trips, just about every big rig is turbo, just about every diesel on the road is turbo'd. turbo kit is as easy as a supercharger install.
  19. ha yupp, exactly what i have...raptor shift light
  20. hell that tach doesnt go as high as my current motor goes
  21. duct work? have you actualy seen a turbo setup? i probably have one of the simplest cleanest looking turbo kits around. if you didnt know anybetter all you would see is a CAI tube
  22. doesnt go high enough for me
