Well my Big Money Buddy went with me to the Track last-night and he want's to build a full blown Reg. Cab 4x4 Drag truck I need some opinions on whitch engine to go for.I know what to do to a LB7 but there is alot of talk on the LBZ's potential..He's ready to buy a Truck now!! So what do you all think??

From talking with several people, I would say LB7. Its a great platform to start with. Then again I may be partial.

That's what I figured.. I think the LBZ will prevail in Time..But we don't have Time to waste...Everythings out there for the LB7 now..

Im considering a new lbz, right now trading the wifes jeep off on a reg cab lbz

In a "stock engine" configuration, the LBZ is already the "top dog" in the pack.

In a heavily modified version, go with any of the three, but the LBZ engine is stronger from the factory as is the transmission.

this is what im thinking to, already have the better pistons too and better cp3
better trans, just better and we are only getting started, once EFI comes out it wont take long for team salad to figure it out imo

I just read where LBZ software is getting ready to be released..Are we gonna be able to get rid of all the Emissions crap on them??Also does Suncoast have a kit for it yet??Haven't been paying much att. to the LBZ's..Do you all think we can Twin Cp3 them along with a Bigger Turbo?? My Bud is chomping at the bit to build a Truck..

That sounds like it is a gas option, not Duramax. But if it is indeed a Duramax with Allison, then that is the best deal you will probably find anywhere.

Yeah I personally like the Lb7 because every thing is right there for it but My dad bought a new 06 lbz a couple of weeks ago and i was very impressed, tons of power, and a great tranny too, once more performance parts come out for it, it will definetly be the one to own.

 

[sweetdiesel]

what turbos are availible for the lbz?? how much difference than the lly as far as install?

we know there is already the ppe cp3 and EFI around the corner

Both the PPE chargers and the High Tech will fit, but until EFILive/PPE-Turbotune hits the market, we cannot optimize big charger setups.
