I started ordering parts to reinforce my rear suspension. Those tires are no joke.

I got it from jegs for like $160 but I would say spend the extra money on the G-force or iceman. This one is great quality but it raised the transmission. So I had to change shifters

Originally i had built a budget sbX that went alittle over-board
355 roller SBC, LT4 Hot Cam, Vortec 062 heads with 550 springs, holley 670 Avenger, Summitracing intake, 700r4 with jegsters Xmember, 2800 stall, Msd Digital box, 150 Nitrous shot.

Then i drove my friends b2200 with a ls2 and  decided i wanted to go Ls. So I bought a 5,3 with a AWD transmission from a guy on craigslist. I took it home started cleaning it. Before i could start the swap the air filter stud fell through carb into the cylinder.

I wanted the 5.3 to just be and sound bad *ss so i was going to go with a MS3 cam from Texas Speed, 3k stall, 4l60e, tbss intake, 90mm fast tb, ls1 lt headers.I milled and washed the heads to get a little bit more compression, and i was also planning on shooting a 200 shot of nitrous. lol

I cracked the passenger header and said f*ck buying $800 headers and bought a turbo instead.[/font][br][font size="5"]I ended up getting a bullseye 372r turbo, thought the s480 would have to much lag

I changed my build to what i have now. I'm going to run a 6.0 with e85 and hopefully get somewhere near 800rwhp.

6.0 iRON block
TBSS Intake
F.A.S.T 90mm TB
Holley Billet Dominator 1400
10 gallon Fuel Cell
ARP Head Bolts
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP flywheel bolts
LsX SWAP oil pan
Bullseye s372r
Godspeed BOV
Godspeed wastegate
Godspeed intercooler
Godspeed pressure oil feed lines
Godspeed Intercooler 2.5 piping
Hot side mandrel bends
HP Tuners

B&M TH400
B&M master rebuild kit
TCI bushing kit
Transgo stage 3 shift kit

I still have a couple thing to buy before i can start working on it again. all input is appreciated! Thinking of going with a speed inc tu2 camshaft. 80#-120# injectors. i have some stock ls2 injectors that i might send to get bigger. I just know i need bigger because of the e85. Still need a fuel reg, and filter and fittings and lines and rails.More to come once i start finishing it up!
