Got my "retune" back from nelson which was basically them just adjusting the tach so i didn't have to put a resistor in it. Seems ALOT closer now. Once I get the scan tool I can hookup to confirm RPMS. Thanks to Erica and Ray at Nelson Performance.

Sumthins up...my t case is extremley loud when I am slowing down. It makes a terrible grinding noise. It isnt constand though. I sounds like someone grinding gears trying to get it into gear. Theres like "pulses" of grinding like RRRRRRRRRRR...(1second)......RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... (1second).......RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr and so on. It only does it when I am coming to a stop. It does it from about 20mph to 0. Then it will do it for a little bit more while I am at a dead stop. Sounds like a buncha gremlins crawled into my tcase! What could it be? Dam 6.0s just have too much power lol

Heres an update of the head/ cam build. The PRC 2.5 Ported LS6 heads are on, 228r cam is in, slp oil pump and dbl roller chain is on. Found out for the ARP rod bolts that you have to have ur rods honed and clearanced by a machine shop so that was 50 bucks, threw some cam bearings in while it was in there for another 70. A Few problems I ran into: Was torqueing the oil pan down to 18 ft lbs and it cracked... The SLP ported oil pump is VERY close to everything. VERY close to the timing chain and it actually hits the front cover so I am going to grind that down. Like I said, the ARP bolts went to a machine shop to be installed because they have a taper right under the head that wont allow them to seat all the way. If you use stock intake gaskets and ARP head bolts, you will have to grind down the smaller head bolts because they dont allow your intake to seat all the way and you will have a vac leak. I went with option 2 : buying intake gaskets from napa which is the FELPRO series and they are very thick allowing the intake to clear the head bolts just fine. Last, I clearanced my rockers for my valve springs because the clearance seemed to close for comfort. Just took a die grinder and ground off the 2 ears under the arm where it was really close to the spring retainer. Might upgrade to yella terras next season. Waiting for my 3200 stall from Circle D right now then i should be good to go.

Forgot to mention when ordering a stall for a 4l80e through circle d, you will prob need a different style flex plate. I had to order there SFI plate which was another 150 because their converter requires a flexplate that doesnt have a spacer on it. ( the 6.0s w/ 4l80e have that spacer). I could have gotten a stock 5.3 plate but the SFI plates are dbl welded and much stronger etc.Originally Posted by HPICamaroSS

Still waiting for my 8.1 injectors and retune from Nelson Performance, they should be here Monday and then I can fire it up! I also want to thank Nelson's for all the help they have given me. Here a pic of my latest add on- i had a friend that owns a sticker business make me this windshield banner. And on a nother note, when I had my rods machined for the ARP rod bolts, the engine shop DID NOT replace the main cap studs/nuts or side bolts. I have heard they are reuseable and then some say they aren't. Any input? Either way I am re using them because the motor is in and ready to fire lol

Heres my video from the dyno tune I did earlier this summer. TJ @ Baker Engineering in Nunica, MI helped me out. I also want to thank TSP and Nelson Performance for everything they have helped me with whether it was parts or service. Trying to figure out what I am doing to it next for my winter project!
