You guys are talking about rear wheel HP numbers right? I'm curious to see what it will put down too.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Go Fred! Bob, what time you runnin' it? You gonna have a camera holder?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Can't wait to see those #'s!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET"S GO FRED!!!!!! :ennyd:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Man I'm anxious to see the results of that dyno run.

Hope to see some videos.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Maybe the numbers were soooo good that he doesnt want to post them and make us all feel bad. Seriously cant wait to see what went down today. Lets go big Fred!!!:metal:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Gerald wins the prize!! Whatever that may be...... :haha:

So..... Baseline was 243.04hp & 283.91lb/ft on the first pulls. The very first pull was a little higher, but everything was cool. HP and TQ dropped as it got up to operating temp.

After a few tweaks and letting it cool down to the same temp as pulls 2 and 3, the best pull was 265.75hp & 304.91lb/ft.

Total gain of 22.71hp and 21 lb.ft!

They were pretty impressed with the initial numbers. They said they have only had a few other stock 5.3's on there before, and they averaged 180-200 hp. So after the first couple of runs, they were pretty shocked.

I'm going to upload some videos after i post this, then I'll post 'em up!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Sweet!!!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Another thing to keep in mind is we are right at 5000' elevation here.

EDIT - If I am doing the math correctly, that comes out to about 315hp at sea level.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

VERY IMPRESSIVE! :metal:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

That's in line with what my tuner told me. He said these thing are really restricted with all the smog crap on them.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

One of the middle pulls. As he started easing into it, it jumped down a gear, so he had to back off and ease into it again.


Doesn't sound too bad! The guy at the end is Chris, board member powell72.


121 mph at just over 5000rpm in 3rd gear. :metal:


The green line is the HP curve from the first pull, and the blue line is the best (last) pull.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

:metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:
Very nice I can't wait to watch the video with some sound at home! Way to go Fred!...oh and Bob too. ;)

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

i beg to differ on the winner Bob!! looky here!!! i win!!!!!!:metal::metal::lol:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Stock truck manifolds, 2.25" pipe, generic turbo mufflers, and 3.5' x 18' tips.

Well, the prize...... Gerald was closed with his #'s to the first pulls, and Dennis was closest to the final #'s. So I'll buy you both a beer! :alky:

So.... I'm thinking that after I get the crew cab bought next fall, I'll probably start looking for some better heads and an LS6 cam kit. I don't want to put a converter in it, that's the reason for the LS6 cam. It's probably about as big as I can go and not have to step up.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Thats awesome Bob. Truck sounds great and is running really good. I'm glad to see it turned out so well. Nice job.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

:lol: thanks!

so when you say next fall you really mean (in 'Bob time' ) is this spring you'll be looking for the cam kit!:haha:

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 

Good point Dennis. It will be here before you see it in person in July! :lol:
And, Bob I like the tire smoke there. And, the pic you just put up is not there.
