i got my cam today , eric over at comp cams put together a nice custom grind for my set up , here are the specs

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

That should bring that 4 banger to life....LOL

Are you using standard rocker arms or a custom ratio to increase your lift?

That lobe separation is a few more degrees than I would have thought being a turbo motor. But what do I know.

Can't wait to hear it. One more piece down, thousands more to go.

Great work as usual.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Yeah, but it is sure nice to see it hold together under those numbers.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

4.8l with 1200hp stock other than twin turbos and top ring gap change??? Awesome!

Looks like I'll be looking for a 5.3 instead of a 6.0 and throw on a turbo for some streetable/reliable fun ;)

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

well last nite i finished the air tanks department , i like to solder, heat shrink and used painless powerbraid on all the wires i lay down so its really time consuming but i love the end results , i hope you guys like the way it came out too, my pistons are going to take 3 to 4 weeks to make as they are behind , supposedly , so i will now move on to other areas on the truck and put the engine build on hold for now

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Love the PowerBraid from Painless Wiring.
I wrap all my airlines in it. (like I see you did)
Very clean install.
