Building a 5.3L L83

[James Dink]

I agree with you on a regular ls9 gasket and valves, just saying people saying random stuff like that have to be 65 years old, I do think 1k in a heavy truck is going to be tough on 4 bolt heads though

I agree, weight is not my friend. That’s why I am doing bigger turbo extra fuel, E85 etc to help all I can. Corner bolts help a lot and doing 625aprs will help, but it’s also how you ramp boost in etc. I learned a lot of the small things during my other builds so trying to pass that along on this one. Truthfully if it’s close or past 900hp I will be happy. I DD this a lot so I am not trying to break it all the time. Pretty much a strong 600-650hp DD and turn up when I want.

Yea when people ask all those it’s more of old way of thinking. It is better for sure, but 1000hp now is very easy where in past it wasn’t. I mean hell I had a LSA twin turbo motor stock cubs break 1400hp. Lifted the heads a lot during the learning curve with that one but it worked out lol.
