You should easily reach 550 RWHP. If not, then send it back. I pulled 448 RWHP and 560 RWTQ a short time ago with my conservative EATON setup. With the built block and KB you should get this number rather easily. Tell Jim not to bug you about the 8lb lower anymore. LOL. Glad to see JDM customers joining the KB train. Others will be left behind.

Thumbs up

Way to go Vinnie, ,As clean as your truck is I am sure some people are going to think (All show and no go) but that ain't going to be the case. She ain't just a show truck, she'll kick your A$$ too.

Mike,

I want 550 rwhp on pump gas w/ the 3 inch upper. Remember I did not get the heads done and the vlves are just S.S. not larger

So basically a mild cam w/ a K.B. is the Go-fast stuff.


Hopefully more w/ race fuell and a smaller upper.

VINNIE

The next step....

Vinnie, Congrats on your new combo!! I'm sure it will make your 550 HP goal even without boosting it thru the roof, I agree with Bill, your truck is beautiful, add that much HP and that is going to be a killer combo. Good Luck, Todd

All the motor stuff will be built and then it will be a swap, so there should not be a lot of down time. I do have to wait until the long block is built though.

I am not first in line ,SGL(Built Motor), Kevin White(KB) , HdMlinium (Nitrous)and others are ahead of me. I am well aware of the amount of tuning that goes into a proper tune and I do not want a rush job.

I have seen what the tuners can do and I am very happy with how the Ls are running.

We are seeing DAILY DRIVEN 10 second lightnings. INCREDIBLE!!!!
