detjoe Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Any more info on track times or h.p. gains? No track times yet. I will be @ Zippy's july 18th getting some gains...it pulls so hard that its hard to get the RPM's up to see, but the little launch I did the other day made a C6 turn off the road the headers make it sound like a monster. not to bring up a dead thread or post, but curriuos to how detjoe's truck was running, i am looking to go this way with my lq9 also with l92 heads and l92 truck intake, any info you can give me detjoe would be much appreciated..p.s. this is with the stock bore correct? also your truck sounds awesome!!!! I hope this post is not dead...I want more people to see it, b/c unless you know what you are looking at its really not much to write home about yep this is on the stock 6.0L, 4.0" bore. the X-link is a real nice piece to save you a headach. GM head bolts and gaskets are good. I would consider bumping the compression and checking your PTV and running a custome cam with .600 lift but my budget did not allow that. I want to get the times up and some of my costs and post the final results section of this build. a vid @ the track is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissfans03ss Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Joe,thanks again for the write up i too am looking to follow in your footsteps with the project build.What i want is a little more power, not to be the fastest guy but hold my own and still have a respectable driver without throwing tons of cash at the truck i do have other projects to start. BTW what do you predict your 1/4 mile times and h.p. to be? Edited July 1, 2008 by kissfans03ss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detjoe Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) sorry but the weather killed my times @ ZIppy's. my best was 14.8 but my converter is failing and we hope to get some better results after I RR my trans and torque converter. results to come I am real pissed that I put all this work into running slower, I could have saved a bit more and went SC....but after seeing the power of that GTO, I want a turbo...

I know your feeling. I dyno'd about 60hp over stock that morning and also ran a 14.8 due to the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeet Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I know your feeling. I dyno'd about 60hp over stock that morning and also ran a 14.8 due to the weather. well i ordered the intake today, the heads will be ordered also today with the cam.. i dynoed my set up a couple of fridays ago, put down 402 and 363 with an unlocked converter, hoping this combo with the help of a cam selector will get me around 450ish or better.. i been checking this thread out and yet to see anytimes from detjoe unless i missed them, anyway i decided to go for it and find out myself.. the setup i have now is: lq9 6.0 vic jr intake = maybe robbing some hp or low end torque 90mm tb 42 lb injector dynatech long tubes = catless 5.3 706 casting stage 2 heads from patriot 3800 stall converter 4l60E = performabuilt if i gain 35-45 over what i have then i would be very well pleased.
