      I'm with L31, stay with the 350. What's really the budget? You would be lucky to spend $3k or less to get the 350 bottom end rebuilt...

      I will put it this way. My stock L31 350 fullsize conversion van never lost to any of my friends 5.3L trucks or SUVs. With headers and a...

      How much are you going to warm up the engine? The vortec heads flow well, just need a better intake and cam. Do you have to be emissions...

      It's only a couple of lifters that are noisy though. The Comp 900 lifters are really cheap, and apparently noisy too. How about a set of...

      Also I still have a lot of valvetrain noise. I bought a Lisle mechanics stethoscope that really works. I ran it with the left valve...

      I have sent it up to BB for the tenth and last time. I could have bought HP by now. I can't imagine they don't know how to make a lot of...

      L31, does the 8.1L table ramp up timing at low map like we are talking about? Add 15 to 20 deg at cruise? BB said they could go to the...

      I tune real-time a few times I have done some tuning on the dyno and more importantly on the street. When I street tune, I have someone...

      Great! What software is that? It went from 41.5 deg at 7% tps and 54.0 map, to 28.5 deg at 100% tps and 94 map. That's the 14-15 deg...

      Well I'm on the 8th or 9th tune and it is still pinging hard at 1800 when towing and moderate 30-40% throttle. I emailed BB a log of the...
