Here is his old setup:
I love the high mileage LS swap stories.Hey guys im finally almost done with my new build so I figured I would start a new thread. This car previously had a SBE 5.3 225k LKQ motor that i did a VERY basic cam only/nitrous setup on which worked very well. After getting bored with the nitrous setup I took the plunge to go Forged Iron Block 370/6.0 with my own built S480 turbo setup.... Heres a run down of the simple 5.3 setup that netted me a 11.80s on motor and low 10s on nitrous.
OLD SETUP
03 5.3 225k mileage (don't care lol paid 500.00)

The car was tuned on 93 pump gas for the motor and has a front cell for nitrous that runs 118 Outlaw N20 fuel.
In 97 degree heat the car made 308 WHP on motor through the TH400. The car made 475 wheel on a 15 year old nitrous works single plate on a 175. We did jet the car to 225 but, with the ASA cam being a 110 lob sep It didn't pick up enough hp to justify spraying it with that so I backed it down to the 175.
Both his old setup and new planned setup are carbureted. The height on the whole thing is a little ridiculous. But racecar.
I love the tall cathedral port runners on the intake.
