Re: My 68 C10 Blowen LS2
Oh and just an FYI. I moved my gas tank to bed and got it from CPP. The tank has NO baffles in it (i wont NOT recommened this tank)!!!!!! In order for me to be able to floor it (have some fun) the fuel level needs to be above 3/4 tank!!!! other wise it starves the fuel system!!! I need a new tank built for my kind of HP that wont throw the gas all over the tank!

Re: My 68 C10 Blowen LS2
Well bad news today. I finally had the money to bring my motor to a new engine dyno/tuner and my motor lost oil pressure at 4000rpm on a pull and never came back. Now its time to see what went wrong!!! How much damage? How much will it cost? Playing with your toy can bring so much pain,anger and money but yet also so much joy. At what point do you draw the line and say im done!?!?!?!

Re: My 68 C10 Blowen LS2
Well it was a cheap fix. the oil pickup tube o-ring had a cut in it. so 1 new o-ring and my oil pressure was back. The motor is back in the truck/ the blower is out getting fixed (new intake tube to fit the 102mm throttle body and a new rear belt) the trans is out getting a shift kit put in it. So it may be a few weeks before its back on the road.

Re: My 68 C10 Blowen LS2
I have a intake tube coming for the supercharger so i can put my 102mm throttle body on. Oh and i did switch blowers too. I sold the old "J-tube" style and picked up the new front inlet style blower (more boost from 8 psi with the "J" blower and 12psi with this new one). So i'm thinking i should be well over 700 hp when i get that new throttle body on it. I just really hope the stock bottom end well hold up.

Re: My 68 C10 Blowen LS2
Thats some power! You'll have to let us know how you get it to hook up. I'm building a roughly 500hp LSx setup and worry about getting it to bite (w/drag radials).... from a dig or a roll.

Re: My 68 C10 Blowen LS2
yeah i think hooking up is out of the question for now. With that stock 6.0 and the blower (425hp) i coudnt get it to hookup in 1st gear so i my have to wait til i get my crew cab set on the frame (more weight over the rear tires) to see how it hooks up.
