  • 700 is kind of a lot to ask of a stock bottom end 5.3 in real life IMO. The internet can be misleading. Everyone on the internet makes 800RWHP with there stock 5.3's. I'm still waiting to see one for myself.

    • The 6.0 has a good rotating assembly and boost pistons, 317 heads, and I am not sure what intake he is running. But e-85 in a major key in this equation. lots of fuel and timing. And the turbo is a Ball bearing gt7576.

          • Don't waste your money on an LS9 cam. I would contact Brian Tooley for valve springs once you've chosen a cam.

                    • Patriot is dead guys - went out of business last year. Once the stock drys up they'll be gone for good.

                      According to Tooley's posts on Tech/YB the springs were pretty much junk anyways. This reminds me that I should replace my springs next year.

                        • Just ordered a custom grind boost cam from martin @ tick performance. This guy knows his stuff. Ordered a few other things over the weekend. Its time to start getting this project moving. Gonna be a long winter but for some reason I feel like im gonna be stressing getting stuff done before spring lol

                              • I wanted the stage 2 cam because of the lump ( yeah I know never choose a cam for sound ) but he was able to still give me some sound and something to make some power
