The theory is that 6.2L heads are a bit too big for N/A builds and ported they lose velocity and the 5.3L heads might increase velocity higher than even a non-ported 6.2

Been almost 6 weeks - damn...
Some updates...
It's a 2015 Sierra Crew SLT with every box checked but nav and a bedliner - Basically a Denali without AWD and mag ride (neither of which I wanted) in Steel Grey Metallic on Black (heated and vented!) leather. 28k miles. Mods will be...
Some decent pics with the new wheels -3.0* camber in the front (-1.25* rear) and a wash Plans for the Camaro are as follows....

New plans ...
After thinking over the blower+cam+fueling upgrades idea... I decided it puts me at larger expenditure as well as would likely need me to look into re-ringing the pistons at least or adding drop-ins at most... And all that would be at the expense of predictability and heat/reliability on track... SO.... I'm going heads/cam and will be buying the Stage 3 cam and heads from PRAY - Will also be adding the following mods... -ATI 10% UD pulley -PRAY Ported MSD -NW 103 TB (this excludes the E85 kit, RF Dry, and Kooks 2in headers + catless X-Pipe I already have) On PRAY's car (which has cats, doesn't have a NW 103, nor the UD pulley - Also it's an A8 vs my M6) made 588whp and 519wtq with this combo - so it should be pretty stout. I can't say my car would make 600whp with the same stuff as tuning and dynos vary, but I can say it should make GREAT numbers for sure. Graph below

That's an awesome torque curve.

Indeed - the idea is to save the transmission from any hard shifting while trying to come out of corners - just leave it in the next gear and let the engine do the work

NW 103mm TB received a week or so ago...
Just paid for a nice used MSD Intake - and that's off to PRAY for porting Still doing some research on heads/cam, but the parts collecting has begun (again)

Got an email with tracking from PRAY yesterday - ported MSD should show up on Friday
I finally got a customized license plate on the way to piss off the PCA (Porsche Club of America) guys... GT3 LOL I ordered a set of Forgestar CF5V wheels in ZL1 1LE sizes and offsets (19x11 +11 F / 19x12 +38 R) and they should be here in 3-4 weeks I have to order the ATI pulley and the DSCSport suspension controller yet, but those are next... Lastly, I've been working with PRAY and my friend who will be helping me do the work on the heads/cam and after conversations I'm debating on perhaps just swapping the entire motor as you have to all but pull the whole thing out of the car anyways to do heads cam. If we swapped it would be for a sleeved 427 with a custom heads/cam setup, valve reliefs, and higher compression (probably in the 12-13.0 range - I'd like to keep using 92 in a pinch, but primarily use E85) - the power numbers there could be quite unreal. I'd venture a guess to say over 700whp is possible in theory, but who knows. I have some time to debate on the above engine modifications because ... 1 - Budget is tight for a few weeks yet 2 - I've been interviewing out of state and might be moving to AZ - should find out about that in the next week or so.

Intake manifold is here... wheels were in powder-coating mid-week so they'll probably ship this coming week.
Probably going to do heads/cam for now and putting the car on a diet - I'd like to get it to 3550 or so wet (as it seems stock 1LE is right around 3700 wet) ... Need to order the following soon... -DSCSport Mag ride controller -ATI underdrive pulley -Katech Lightweight fly wheel (might as well drop weight while I have the chance -Heads/cam kit from PRAY -Catch can -lightweight battery -Skidmark rear seat delete -Considering dive plans from ZL1AddOns

Yet again I've made a change in direction...
DSC controller was received - Have not installed it yet. Will soon. Wheels are delayed another "1-2 weeks" - It seems every time I order custom wheels (3 times now) I always need to add 2 weeks to whatever the vendor quotes me - 2-4 weeks previously turned into 6, 4-6 turned into 8... and now 4-6 is about to turn into 8-9 it would seem... These things better look damn good haha. I have purchased LT4 fuel pump and LT4 Injectors and an LT4 Blower from a C7Z Stay tuned for the rest.
