Nice man, I'd love to do something like this.

 

Yoooouuuuu might be a redneck :P

 

When I get home I'll post come current build shots. I'm not one for taking many pics although some are on the internet somewhere I'm sure.

 

Thanks man, should be fast

 

The 2nd pic looks so much better! Good luck with it!

 

It sure does. What wheels do to a car .

 

I just sold the manifolds off my Colorado for next to nothing. Had you bought this a couple months ago I would have sent them to ya for shipping.

 

that would have been nice, but a local guy actually gave me his manifolds for free! And a bunch of guys said they would help me with the turbo build, i love the LSX community .

 

 

 

I like that a lot, my buddy has a turbo v6 camaro that is a lot of fun, so i bet this would be even better

 

Well guys, car is running, driving, and painted. I went with a 2004 5.3l lm7 stock bottom end motor, built 4l60e that should hold 800hp, cxracing 70mm turbo kit, but instead i went with a On3 78/76 turbo, with a 46mm Precision wastegate, back to a 3'' catback system with a Magnaflow muffler, but will be going to a flowmaster. Thats the drivetrain.

Exterior is a factory SS hood, and spoiler. bumper is cut for the intercooler, z06 replica wheels 17x9.5's, lowered, but not enough, and of course painted by me.

Not bad finishing the car in just under 5 months lol. What do you guys think?

 

Thanks man, i love the car , but unfortunately i bought a other project ( 05 gto ) so after summer ill be selling this, and more then likely buying a v6 manual Camaro, and have a nice little daily driver.

 

css.net must be dead.

 

Lets see the other project lol and it is the weekened not much activity going on

 

 

Nice man whats your plans for the gto?

 

what you expect 1/4 times off of that Camaro? why 5.3? why not 5.7 or even 6.0? 5.3 cheaper?

 

Finish one project than off to the next? Nice lmao what are the plans for the gto?

 

Paint it Spice red, coilovers, redo the whole suspension, heads cam ls2/orls3 , built t56, put a Detroit trutrack in the diff. Its a car that ill be keeping till i have a kid and give it to them, so its going to take some time, cause its going to be done right the first time.

 

High 10s, low 11s. Because 5.3l are known to be reliable up to 800hp. Iron blocks are stronger then the aluminum blocks. The original plan for the car was for it to be a big cam iron block 6.0l, i bought a 6.0, and it turned out to be bad, so running out of money, i got a 5.3l for dirt cheap, then i didnt feel like putting a cam in a 5.3l so i went boosted.

 

Yup, lol , listed plans up above.

 

I ran 11.4 in my ls1 cam only.
I got a bunch of friends running low 10ss in trucks with 5.3 and big turbos.

 

rwd is ghey

 

Torque steer FTW!!
