    The Plan....

    Ok... so front mount and nitrous killed the 5.3 in under 4k

    Vehicle: 04 Silverado 54K, T76, Built 4L65, Circle D 3k, 4.56's, Detroit

    My Plan

    54k LQ9(shipped).................................$1800
    Gen III 2 piece timing cover.....................$220
    Cam 225 225 .581 .581 113....................$380
    H.S. 1.7 Rockers....................................$420
    160 Thermostat.....................................$50
    PRC spring and push rod kit(.650 & 7.4)...$380


    Any thoughts are helpful...

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Sounds like a fun combo
    Name: Mark,
    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    You're not accounting for any hidden costs, but sounds like a good combo. Don't under budget for a swap.

    I've planned for lots of misc...but thanks

    Is it that great of a combo, not one recommendation or question?

    and id stick with the stock rockers, they work fine. and the 2 piece cover is just a luxury, so if youre on any sort of budget then i would toss that to save the $200!

    Yep, that would knock at least 600 off the budget... leaving room for other things...
