    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.

    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    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.

    Small Turbo on stock L29 454?

    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...

    Truck rides like a brick.

    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.

    Truck rides like a brick.

    I dropped air pressure to 50 in the rear. Huge change. It rides like my heavy half did!

    Truck rides like a brick.

    I'll play around with it and see what happens.

    Second Skin Damplifier Pro is the best product out there for mats. Second Skin also has a spray product called Spectrum that is much better than Lizard Skin. If you want to go crazy you can get luxury liner pro (mass loaded vinyl) that will really deaden noise. You can lose up to 20db!

    Truck rides like a brick.

    As far as tire pressure I think I'm st 50 in the front and 80 in the rear which is what the door tag says to have them at. They are retread k02s. I wish I had falken wildpeak at3s on. They are a much better tire.

    Truck rides like a brick.

    Thanks for all the replies. I just figured it was HD because of the gvwr. Thanks for clarification. I could tell the torsion bars were slightly cranked so I lowered them all the way. I guess I didn't even think about the bump stops. Ill screw in the keys up today and see how it does. I am still...

    Truck rides like a brick.

    Yeah I guess haha. These KO2 knockoffs might be part of the problem. It rides way better when pulling something. I have a topper on it now so I figure that helps some. I may just get a quality 4" lift with lighter springs and keep the torsion bars uncranked.

    Truck rides like a brick.

    I have a 97 K2500 ECSB with 454. This is a HD with the 9600 GVWR I believe. I just replaced the shocks with some KYBs gas-adjust and they ride better than the bilsteins did but the truck bounces like crazy. New ball joints and such. I loosened my torsion keys all the way and that helped. I'm...
