Re: p4ps daily driver project
So after about 5 months of waiting to get the car due to a few problems on both mine and the sellers side I finally have the car in my house.
Have scrapped the lq4 idea in favour of a single turbo 5.3, I saw LSX everything has a kit to suit c10s so I'm looking at that for now. The turbo kit is about $2700 so with the money that I would save by not buying L92 heads, LS3 intake and swap headers I figure it's about the same cost, but I get better fuel mileage in traffic here which gets very heavy during peak hour and more power.
Also considering the fitech LS swap system they're releasing. It looks like it'll be good value for money for about $2000 for the 750hp system. Supposedly it makes the conversion easier plus by the time I bought a conversion wiring harness, reflashed the computer, new injectors etc there isn't a massive differences plus it comes with an intake manifold which i was wanting to change anyway because I'm not a fan of the truck intake. To me it looks like good deal depending on how the intake flows.
I haven't worked in about 5 months due to a host of visa and political issues though will be starting my job very soon which has meant I've had plenty of time for research. Unfortunately the car is in rougher shape than I originally though so it won't be capable of daily duties anytime soon so it'll have to become more of a project. More updates to follow soon.
