I’m sure he would love to chime in on heads. You should have seen our conversations on shit like torque converters, headers, rockers, superchargers.....I asked him all kinds of shit. Dude is smart as hell and he explains it all effortlessly.

Awesome! I need to spend more money.. lol

You should find a 6.o or 6.2 and slowly start. With your documentation skills it would make a sweet thread! Then you could donate the motor to me

I think it will be a 6.2, for the Silverado. Just because there isn’t much left for me to do to that truck. Just undecided if I could fit a pair of turbos. No height room for a blower I don’t think since they had to lower the engine when they did the body drop. But it will have to wait until I sell my Harley Davidson Nightrod custom regardless.

Yeah I said over .550, at least that’s what my buddy Roger Vinci taught me. And you meant DUAL springs, right?

No I'm fairly certain a "quality single spring" like a Pac1219 is considered by many to be plenty for a mild duration cam with .600 lift. Many reports on Ls1 tech and PT.net of people using them and them failing after 25k miles.

I figured I'd be lucky and they would last forever. I also underestimated how much I'd drive this truck. 23k in a year and I own 2 other trucks lol.

It's just hip lingo for a single turbo kit with a ebay/China turbo.

But I'd never recommend a Chinese turbo Trick sells much better stuff.

Oh, yeah I’ve heard of Trick Turbos for sure, they’re who I would go to. Got me on the hip talk lol. I’m old AF.

It's ok Wuhan War Whistle is fun to say. There's also Hiroshima hair driers and Nagasaki noise makers. They all give Beijing blow jobs.

Making great progress! Parts actually came in yesterday but I forgot about a cam retaining plate so I had to overnight that and got it this morning.

Got started about an hour or 2 ago and have gotten a bunch done. Everything under the timing cover is done and buttoned up, and heads are on just need torquing. Should be done before dinner if everything else goes smooth.
