Woody's Black Z71 pic history

[vipergtrdj]

We got almost 6" this weekend. Poor Beretta & Camaro were out in the snow while I had the truck apart doing the new LS7 roller lifters. I gotta upload some pics.

Can't wait to see the pictures - we got a foot of snow here in VT, so I went for a little drive in my truck. Handled pretty good considering the roads were not plowed and my tires suck. all the snow is gone now.......

Threw up a few pics of the lifter swap, the FP gauge and the wideband installed. Sprayed the headers with some VHT paint when I changed the gaskets since they were already bare. In the last pic you can see the rocker switch for the front axle actuator for 2LO too.

Played with the tune tonight and got it running really good. That's the kind of low-end torque I was expecting! Changed the wideband color to aqua too so it matches the stock dash better. haha

why did you go with ls7 lifters if you don't mind me asking, also what program are you usin.

 

[woody80z28]

OEM LS7 lifters were the same money as cheapo Summit stock replacements? Why not go with the ones engineered for 505hp and 7000rpm?

Using TunerPro RT for datalogging/burning/tuning.

I'm not ragging on you. I asked on NastyZ28 about the best bang for the buck roller lifters and it was no competition. No-name $120 stockers, $240 Comps or $120 GM LS7. Tough to argue on that one. haha

Tuning can be finicky, but I think I'm on the right track now.
