I'm waiting on word if the 6.2L Heads will bolt on without issue on the 5.3L. If they do, I'll be swapping to those and the 6.2L intake, ProCharge it, with smaller pulley, add Headers and Corsa...should yield 460+ at the wheels @ 7-8 PSI.

 

Different bore sizes, they won't bolt up. You could stroke it?

What turbo setup/brand are you running? I'm about to pull the trigger on a kit. Really want a turbo, but almost considering a whipple due to the simplicity tuning wise.  Did you install a 2 pc drive shaft?

Did they give you a base tune or did you go straight to a dyno for a tune? And did you do the driveshaft upgrade since the original self destructs at 110mph?

I have a 2017 crew cab Z71 with the 6.2L. The biggest drawback is my stock compression is 10.5:1 which is not good for boost. I chose twin screw (Whipple 2.9L) over centrifugal because I knew torque was my number one goal. Hennessey Performance turned it into a Goliath 650. Ported the heads, deleted AFM and VVT. New cam, lifters and pushrods. New air intake system. Borla cat back touring exhaust. Dyno tuned and street tuned for drivability. 93 Octane gas.

521 Horse and 549 torque at the rear wheels.

I had a custom driveshaft made 5" x .125" thick. Added Wilwood Aero6 calipers in the front and Aero4 calipers in the back.

Cool mods! Can we get pics?
Seems quite interesting!

I'm gonna be doing a turbo build here soon. Do you mind PMing me so I can get a bit of info off your build towards mine? It wont let me PM for some reason not sure why.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      By revrnd · Posted

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way too big headlights (similar to a previous non-Wrangler SUV) should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crossing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
