:naughty:

 

nice.. what'd the rods and pistons run ya if you dont mind me asking?

 

Rods were 743 and I don't have the pistons yet they are coming from JE but should be about 675 with rist pin, rings, and clips

 

Jizz im my pants.......

You think there will be any sleeve clearance issues?

 

Those are friggin beefy!

 

Did u have the compression ratio lowered at all?

 

Ya I brought it down to 8 and a half to 1

 

Nice.Perfect for boost. :thumbup:

 

How much boost are you looking to get? And are you gonna do anything to the head?

 

I have an AEM FI/C 8 piggyback so I can run 2 tunes so the first will be 8-10 for econ and second will I'm guessing 16-18 for a target HP of about 450 and see if the crank feels like hangin around I'm putting a monster HD rebuild kit in the tranny along with their stall converter which they say will take 500 HP, so we will see. can't wait

 

about time someone was a guinea pig:thumbup; cant wai to see the rest.

 

Lol Ya I'm a little nervous on the bigger tune to see what it does I'm also boring only a .5 MM

 

You rock!!! If the stock crank in an i6 trailblazer can handle in upwards of 1400 hp, I think with the proper turbo and tune, your stock crank should handle 450 no problem if not more. I don't think I've heard of the crank being the weak point in these engines. Keep up the good work!

 

the rod bearings and the oil pump are a weak point in the engine

 

That is. AWESOME

 

Thanks for the interest guys as soon as I get the Pistons I'll update with pics and progress.

 

Looks sweet! Damn, I wish my rods were 740 bucks for my other truck, I thought I was getting a deal at $2200 and still shit my pants :ugh:

Any weight differences between the stocker and new rod?

 

^^ yours have to play nice with a small nuclear explosion 3000 times a min :kiki:

 

I didn't actually put them on a scale but they do feel lighter.

 

see if you can upgrade the stock oil pump to a better one

 

You can go in and relieve the stock one that gets you a little more abuse out of it.

 

Does anyone now of a oil pump for it I can't even find a stock one I was beginning to wonder if its a vain style.

 

Now that is sexy! In for updates

 

this is our oil pump

 

Thanks and yes that would explain why I can't find one. Should pretty hard to fully wear that out.
