    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    So I've decided I am going to rebuild the engine and stroke it to 489/496. I think I will go with the long tube JBA headers, high flow cats, and Carven Type TR straight through mufflers. With that being said I'm looking at these camshafts. XR276HR and XR270HR. XR276 224/230 @ .050 276/282...

    5.25"/6.5" speakers in rear ext cab pillars.

    Has anyone placed 5.25/6.5" speakers in an extended cab rear pillars? I know I'd have to remove material. Just looking to see if anyone has done it.

    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    I'm really just going to build this engine for street and occasional towing. In my mind I figured it would be cheaper and easier to turbocharge the engine instead of bore and stroking it. It does need a rebuild however. I really I just need to spend the time and budget to see what will work...

    Truck rides like a brick.

    Update. I was trying to find the specs on alldata for ride height but couldn't. I did find specs on autozone but doesnt give a suspension option. I set them to 34mm so its st least closer to what stock should be.

    Not sure on the boosted part. We do have a couple dynos nearby that could probably tune it also. I just don't know if they have a basemap for the 0411 PCM. I've had good luck with Blackbear on NA stuff.

    97 Chevy Steering wheel upgrades?

    So a 03 Corvette Wheel will fit on my 97?

    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    Yes, a lot to consider. I think I will take the advise first and start with headers, aluminum heads (if compatible), and a comp cams kit. Yes, I'd do the work myself. Tuning I'll go through blackbear. $5k is a rough estimate. I'll have some good money after this deployment to stick into it.

    Are the 42lb injectors for a LS Are the 42lb injectors for a LS3/LS7? Sorry I am unfamiliar as to what injectors will swap out.

    Good Information. Can you PM everything you have done to your engine or do you have link to your build? Yes 500hp is plenty.

    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    Thats my concern. I'd like to run the factory efi and I don't think it could fuel a bigger turbo but I figure with a bigger turbo I could just run a lower psi like 5psi.

    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    Nothing crazy. I'd just like have more power for street with some towing every once in awhile. I'd like to have better hp than what the newer gasoline trucks are making and I'd like to have about the same torque as a LB7/LLY/LBZ duramax. Could I just get this result from a turbo instead of...

    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    So like many others, I've been watching the Richard Holdener videos on youtube. I am wondering if anyone has put a small turbo on their L29 454. I am contemplating upgrading my engine with a comp cams 212/218 cam, brodix/afr/edelbrock aluminum heads, headers and possibly bore and stroke to 496...

    Its a used truck. As far as I can tell the springs are stock. It does have air suspension helper springs. No, I am running 16" PY0s from a newer silverado. They are a lightweight wheel. Please read through the pages as I have photos posted and updated information along the pages.

    Truck rides like a brick.

    I replaced the shocks about 4 months ago. I also lowered my psi in the rear tires as stated in my previous post to 50psi and it made a tremendous difference.
