    Kinda new here...posting some pics and vids

    I'm somewhat of a noob around here, but I'm a mod over on pt.net and I've been active on GMFS for awhile, as well as ls1gto. For those that don't know me, here's a brief history of my truck with pics and some track videos.

    I've owned my 01 Silverado since April 20, 2001. Picked it up brand new with 8 miles on the clock. She's got 155,000 and change now, and I've put 99.999% of those miles on her. Started as a stock 5.3L, 4wd Z71.

    Since then, she's had a cammed and blown 5.3 (pulled only because I wanted more cubes), a cammed and blown 6.0 (lost the thrust bearing) a built 408 (oil burner), and a second, better built 408 from a reputable LS engine builder in California. She's also been through six or seven built 4L60E's, and now has a built 4L80E.

    Here's the details of my current setup, then some pics from the last motor swap.


    408ci, 9.4:1 SCR
    Comp Cams 220/222-580/580-114, XE-R lobes, advanced 1 degree
    Melling stock replacement oil pump
    Rollmaster double-roller timing set
    Wiseco 16cc dish pistons
    Ackerly & Childs moly ring set
    Callies Compstar rods
    Callies Dragonslayer crank
    WCCH 317 stage 2 heads
    LS7 lifters, manley pushrods, stock rocker arms
    PT76GTS custom front mount kit

    The old 408 took me to a best of 12.74 @ 106 with about 8 psi. The current one has taken me to a best of 11.63@119 at 15 psi, with a 1.81 60 foot.

    Had it dyno'ed, and at about 11 psi I put down 575/640 to the rear wheels, through a 4L80E, transfer case, and 33" tires.

    Enough talk....on to the pics!












    Here's one of my better track runs (the best one is on my GF's dad's camera and I haven't gotten it from him yet)....forgot to put it in 4wd for the launch, which is why it takes me forever to get off the line.

    Video - Speedworld 11.84@117

    This one kinda shows the squirrely launches that come with 4wd launches at 10 psi
