Smans 5.3 build up!

[sman]

I wish rolo. Maybe the first or second set. Fingers crossed.

[phoenix_rising]

shoot for those numbers!

Sounds good to me

Well, I made some progress, but hit a big brick wall today, im pretty bummed. The scholarship I was 99 percent sure I was getting, well, im NOT getting it. This sucks cause it would have payed for this entire upcoming semester minus my books. Sooooo, money just got REALLLY tight. What does this mean for the project you ask? Well, unless someone wants to buy me a cam and springs, it means no valvetrain goodies this year thats for sure.

The plan is just to get the motor in the car with a full exhaust. Im getting a really good deal on a set of brand new hooker ceramic coated long tubes. But beyond that, thats gunna be it, until next year anyway......

Nice ideas, I was shooting for small cam and small build when i started after about a year now i want it all gone, But then again I have a problem with hp.

sounds like a good project, I love the 5.3 in my suburban

and stock the suburban is rated at around the same hp as my lt1.......

Sorry to hear that, man! I know exactly how you feel on the money crunch. It's like they're TRYING to drive people out of college. Companies are just not giving student loans anymore.

That and tuition just went up for this semester, again......

yeah my dad showed me it, i was wondering has anyone here done it, and know what the bennifits turn out to be hp wise?

[sman]

It was something I had always considered, Ive seen it done once on a another board. Id check out one of the v6 sites for some info.

Don't you love that? We're in a recession and tons of people are going into foreclosures on their homes because the unemployment rate is at an all time high - but hey let's raise tuition so everyone who is already struggling to afford going to school is now pushed out and if they can't afford to go to school anymore then guess what those student loans have to start being paid back... catch 22, gotta love it.
