[QUOTE=Bennett--G4L;4978339]I agree, just wish I had it :lol: I love seeing pictures of your Camaro that thing is just Gorgeous. I do like the idea of the Magnacharger powder coated white to match your truck but twin turbos is just sick.
Posted via Mobile Device[/Q yes but those chargers are 5k to 6k not cheap at all i can do a procharger set up for $3500.00 turbos are up there also, it all comes down to which looks cooler and so far most votes are for the twin t's |

I have seen guys flip stock manifolds and build cheap turbo set ups but something tells me your not going that route. Personally I think a procharger will suck on a stock 5.3. I have driven a couple and at safe boost levels the fun is over before it really starts. No matter what route you go being blown is the best..lol http://www.riverdavesplace.com/forum...1&d=1319132168 |

:lol: :lol: :lol: you have got to be kidding ..
Are you really? Just sit it in there like it is ! It will be awesome either way. You don't want to grenade your 5.3 man.. Are you going to go though the bottom end too? Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
All joking aside, yeah I agree. I was really just kidding around. I'd just sit it in there as is. I like the LS motors. A lot of power and mpg. Mine will be lucky to get 6-8mpg.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
lol i get 5 mpg on a cool day if im lucky, big blocks are my favorite , yours and bennette's look sweet , mine came off of a 88 hd chevy truck , it is a 4bolt main and it was rebuild with its factory crank and rods , then added some 30 over forged pistons , mild cam with aluminum heads, something simple , then it began , procharger but with the heat downhere it was nothing but problems with carbs, so i took it appart again down to the short block , so i added a comp cam w 670 lift so it rocks , fully roller , f.a.s.t. efi and set it up to run on strictly e85 fuel as its 105 octane , you can tell the rest just by the pictures , its putting 640 rwhp on a stock bottom end and its running awsome , so back to the 5.3 i want to see how far i can get with it ,no worries

hello boyz , i need a little help deciding , as you know one of the downsides of stepsides is the lack of room for equipment , i lower the truck to its lowest point used a rod for driveshaft purpuse, i will be raising bed panel so i have room to put the tank as u see in pictures , no exhaust will go trough here as its going on the outside of chassis , i cant put it behind rear end as im inatalling gas tank back there , it does not fit anywhere near the sides of bed so i can make work where is at , thoughts please or have u guys seen anything else , thanks
