    ‘97 5.7 build w 0411 swap bypassing the supercharger questions…

    So after numerous suggestions I’ve taken the Powerdyne supercharger out of equation for now by bypassing the plumbing and putting a basic cold air intake on the truck in order to get a good baseline tune and starting point and the truck is actually driveable now and better than it has been since...

    The HPP Racing tune that wasn’t a tune at all

    Ok it’s been awhile since I’ve had a chance to work on my truck, but maybe a couple of y’all will remember my last post about my experience with taking my ‘97 with rebuilt 5.7, upgrades, 0411 swapped, Powerdyne Supercharger to get it tuned and the guy tuning it basically took my money and didn’t...

    ‘97 built 5.7 w 411 swap to tuner & dyno concerns

    I’m taking my truck to HPP Racing in a few days to let them do some tuning and dyno time… They aren’t very familiar with the 411 swap but are confident they can get the tuning right…even though they usually only deal with LS and LS swaps…not a beefed up L31 5.7 any thoughts??? Also some of my...

    Tuning 411 to 5.7 build

    Just curious if there are any new options out these days for tuning? I sent my 411 to Lextech for a basic tune…before I did the pinout or pulled the engine (that had a spun main bearing) out and the truck would start and run enough to limp it around the shop…then I pulled the engine, had it...

    ‘97 RCBS 5.7 4L60E 0411 SWAPPED Aluminum Aftermarket Heads Best Choice

    Engine is at the machine shop and the vortecs didn’t pass the flux! Lol So…the build is gonna be a lil more than mild, but not not really close to being wild…but I am going with the LS6 beehives so I figured I might as well go with some aluminum heads with a lil better flow… not necessarily...

    ‘97 RCBS 5.7 4L60E 0411 SWAPPED CAM?

    LT4 HotCam - $512 and some change… Elgin E1136 - can’t find one… Lunati 60121 - can’t find one… GM 395 - $248 and some change… GM SP 350/357 - $484 and some change… So I shouldn’t need to worry about changing springs if I go with the marine 395, but I will if I go with either of the other 2...

    First 0411 Swap…

    First off…I just want to give a shoutout to Lextech for all his efforts and help with the whole process…the pinout makes it pretty much dummy proof and simple… One thing I did screw up is I should’ve paid more attention when I read the part about opening up my wiring harness, I should’ve went...

    I spun a main bearing in my ‘97 5.7, and I’m trying to decide what I’m gonna go back with, and not wanting to go back with basically what I had…but from what I understand the ‘97 Black Box really limits my options..? So I’m just checking to see if I’m correct in what I’ve concluded from the...

    Just curious what brand of drill bits do y’all consider to be the best these days...something that doesn’t burn up as soon as you get started...it just seems like they just keep getting crappier and crappier these days compared to what you would get 15+ years ago...
