    LB7: Block Tested the Truck

    Block Tested the truck the other day because of my stiff upper hose problem and my worries of a blown HG. Blocked test, no bubbles, no color change. So my next guess would be thermostats? Bought new AcDelco thermostats yesterday, so my question is does anyone have a step by step on changing the...

    LB7: Head gasket?

My symptoms are: Stiff upper radiator hose (even overnight), Pressure on cap after cool down (even overnight), carbon in reservoir, but I'm not using coolant. But after reading another possible head gasket...

    LB7: DTS 72mm IHI?

    Well did some digging around on YouTube, found this video of a 01-02 GMC with DTS's 64mm IHI. Made the numbers I wanted. But I noticed the gear changing while dynoing? Is that not the correct way of dynoing the truck? I'm not expert but dont you have to lock 01-02s in 4th gear? Maybe I'm wrong...

    LB7: DTS 72mm IHI?

    Isn't the 66mm IHI like a hybrid turbo? Is it a bit laggy?

    600 has always been my magic number, hate to be like 20hp away from my goal hahaha

    LB7: DTS 72mm IHI?

    Yea I want to be in the 600hp range after all said and done. Want to have a turbo that's reliable, low EGTs, and decent for towing (I don't tow very often). Just something to smack around some local Cummins with haha

    LB7: DTS 72mm IHI?

    Been looking around at turbos and etc for fun, thinking about finally doing a turbo and cp3 change up once I get my repairs and get a new bike. Anybody running DTS's 72mm IHI Turbo? How quick is spool up? I figured since it's still close to stock turbo that you wouldn't need a pedestal and etc...

    My T-Bucket first start up!

    This is actually a Chevrolet. It started as a small block 327 that was found in an Impala same series that would've been used in a 67' Camaro. Bored to a 355, 671 supercharger, cam, valves, valve springs, and other small things. Nothing real special, but you really don't need much for these cars.

    My T-Bucket first start up!

    I thought the other day "Would've been cool to use the LB7 engine from dad's totaled 03 we got laying around" then I heard it start up and was like "No way this is fine :D"
