This one is based off the lt1 pump so there willl be no whipple clearance issues(I have read the lt4 pump hits)

 

Here is a list of everything on the way

 

 

Whipple tuner kit

Hptuners pro suite

Alky control bed mount maf based kit

3.625 pulley

Ls7 lash cap(plus gaskets and s pipe)

Ls9 map sensor

Caspers maf breakout

Ls1 iat sensor

Ltr7ix-11 plugs

Pst carbon fiber driveshaft(front is already running an upgraded cv driveshaft)

I know, was saying that it only flows 10% more over the LT4 pump which is half the cost and you're not gonna hit the power that BB pump is made for.

Noted.

 

 

Anyone ever lost a shaft at 100+. I have and even though I'm pretty sure it was a failed trans mount that caused it. I'm getting that carbon fiber shaft.

I've had a few trucks tuned some with S/Cs most with 410s-373 gears some with gear venders. In south Texas- west toward California north across the plains there is ample opportunity to get the driveshaft spinning pretty good never had a problem. My 92 Chevy has had a whipple since new with a stock drive shaft same thing. I refuse to believe that driveshaft technology has gone backwards. Maybe I just been lucky. The gtos 442s, novas, impalas, chevels, etc I had in the 70s thru today, I guess I was lucky with them too.

Maybe so. Or maybe they were just shorter overall. I think that has lots to do with it. The driveshafts in these trucks feel like they are going to throw if you get them up around 130. I've been wanting to upgrade it since the beginning.

Also what do you consider "spinning pretty good?"

 

 

 

Got the alky control system in and it's nothing short of impressive, even after hearing how impressive it would be.

Was all excited till chuck Anders told me I had the wrong blower coming and I should have gotten a p1sc instead. When I asked why the hate for the whipple all he had to say was the common roots cons vs centri and stated that whipple has had problems with intercooler pumps. Also stated fewer moving parts with the centri but nothing to denote the actual performance of the wa175x itself.

 

My goals are to push the stock short block as hard as I can and I feel either is capable of enough efficient boost to do that. Any regrets in hindsight going with the whipple? Also I plan on the lt4 pump and a cam w bigger/more pump lobes

While Chuck knows his stuff, most performance shops fail to understand what the needs of each individual are. All they want is to pull the highest dyno numbers and dont really care about under the curve and midrange tq like what you would want for towing or just day to day driving. They seem to thu k that peak hp and tq are the most important values when upgrading a car/truck.

You seem pretty smart, I don't think your a trust fund kid. My 92 with a 373 has been at red line a few times with the stock driveshaft in overdrive. It's lowered (bell tec) felt like 70mph. I'm older so I was lucky enough to come up thru the sixties and had a family that had performance cars. One uncle had a GT 500 and so on. All the performance brands were covered through out the family even now. My personal favorite that I owned was 70 Javolin sst M.D special. My brother races a 79 little red express he bought new, detuned to run 11s. He doesn't want to put a roll bar in it. He son had two 3/4 ram deisels that run in the 10s then went to work on Mondays on pipelines. My point, never saw a drive shaft problem. If GMs having a problem shame on them.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
