I did end up getting 11.66 out of the 78mm rear mount and a stock junk yard LQ9 and it had a lot to go but i ran in to boost control issues with my JGS gate and my taller injectors did not want to seal right in the LS3 intake which was causing a boost leak.

ls2silvy Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 wow your wasting no time putting this together. what will you be running for a fuel system? I've been collecting parts for two years though lol, i've been waiting for my uncles machine shop to start building my engine for a year and a half! I have a pic of the fuel system parts a little farther up. I was running a single in tank walbro 255 this last season with stock fuel lines and stock returnless regulator ( i know.... scary) it did ok but i was running out of fuel at the top of third gear. It would drop about 10 psi, got me in the 11's on pump gas though? Im going to run one of those new 400lph walbro pumps in tank with -8 feed, -6 return and a Aeromotive A1000 regulator with a boost a pump wired in, should be good enough.

ls2silvy Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 nice... who made your turbo headers? Would like to get me some of those. They were made by the import company Full Race, very rare, i think there is something like three sets even out there. http://www.autoblog.com/2005/11/07/full-race-turbo-system-for-gm-trucks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls2silvy Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hey Shawnss what kind of times and power have you got out of your setup?? Are you on a stock long block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hey Shawnss what kind of times and power have you got out of your setup?? Are you on a stock long block? yes everything is stock besides the turbo being added. i have only been able to run a 12.5. the truck really need's a tune. i ran 13psi on that run and my a/r was at like 10.2 stupid rich but i wanted it safe. im hoping to get a built motor this year. i'd really want to see some mid 11s and then im done as far a performance goes. there is a lot i need to do first. im only running 42lb injector's and one walbro pump. hoping by summer to have the motor done and in.
