    1/2 newb

    so i've been on the site for a while reading/researching/laughing at the times ya'll beat...the stuff that's out there

    anyway..i need alittle input

    i have a set up in mind for my truck
    just can't decide what motor to go with

    it's- whatever block i choose with ported 5.3L heads
    edelbrocks performer LS1 carb intake with the cam and carb they recommend
    super 40 single in dual out
    with 3.73 gears and detroit tru trac locker

    not looking for a 600HP monster..maybe 400ish..just a daily driver/weekend warrior that looks and sounds great, but will leave imports and mustangs in my rear view

    thanks for ya'lls help

    oh and how do i get my signature to show

    Welcome aboard, but watch the language here. Kids around.

    Why go with a carb? I assume this is on the truck in your avatar?

    Log in & go to User CP up top, that will take you to a page where the sig link is on the left side.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    Carbs are not retarded on LS ENGINES (motors are electric) but they are in a vehicle that was both injected from the factory AND was built with an LS engine.

    Welcome.
