I did read about doing ls9 gaskets because they increase the compression by a hair? You just re-gapped the sock rings?

[George C]

They don't increase compression they slightly lower it but they provide better sealing for boost

Yes regap stock rings

[Carazy]

Guess I had that backwards, I thought they were thinner than stock which in turn raises it but who knows I read so many pages and builds its making my head hurt. I am ready to start ordering parts and getting this on the road. Looks like the Whipple is going tomorrow so that frees some money up towards parts.

[Carazy]

Whipple is GONEEEE. Hopefully the 454 goes this weekend too.

Holiday spending is over now time to crack down on this build. I decided to throw another piece to the puzzle and I am converting from 4x4 and going AWD so the power is going to get somewhere.

I am still deciding which way to go with the turbos like brand and exact sizing/housing, ewg or iwg, bov.... this will be at a lot of shows so im deciding if I should spend a couple extra bucks to put the garrett name under the hood or if the magnums are ok.

The wife bought me the cam and timing chain cover I wanted so we are getting there. Tryjng to figure out the shopping list.

Wheelies in a burban= bad ass!!!
My buddy had a 4 banger toyota 4x4 pickup in highschool that could pull the tires.. Also not from a stop..rolling in 1st on and off the gas! It was some FUNNY sheet

[Carazy]

It was fun when I was younger but now I love the having traction and AWD so I am incorporating that in this build. I have my leads on a Denali front diff and a low mileage NVG149 out of an Escalade, which then I have to obviously either buy the input gear to accept the 80E or have my machinist friend either make a whole new gear or machine it himself. One thing at a time I guess.


I was looking to purchase HP Tuners but now I think I shot myself in the foot with the fact I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8.1 and it seems like HP Tuners did not develop a patch for it yet and are having complications.

Honestly pick up a cheap little laptop even used and have it dedicated to tuning. You can pick one up for $150-300 no problem it keeps things a lot happier believe me.
