Well hot damn...... driving distance
I am going to start an ad for the complete engine on tech tomorrow. If it doesn't sell, I will split it up and I can ship stuff out.

The valve in the oil pan is supposed to pop off around 50-55. I don't know about the relief in the pump, and that depends on the spring used.
Im not worried about it, engine is as quiet as a mouse (for a cammed LS motor).
What is a little strange is the cam chops like it has positive overlap. Its -9, I was expecting more of a stock like idle. I wonder if the +7 advance makes it chop harder. I'll see if I can smooth that out.
Tomorrow is dry, so I will hook the wideband in and do some WOT tuning.

Did some WOT tuning. Didn't have much time, so just roughed it in. I was lean by about 10%, got that dialed back so it's safe. Did a little part throttle tuning as well, trying to raise spark in cruise areas to improve MPG. My DFCO doesn't enable at all, so I will need to play with that too to improve MPG.
Idle needs a lot of work coming to a stop, but its gonna be a winter wonderland here over the next week or more. I'll revisit once the snow is gone lol.
One thing that is terrifyingly bad about these truck tunes is the flex fuel is VIRTUAL. It will switch your stoich point around if it thinks the fuel composition is different. Very dangerous setting! I hope all you guys with tunes have this turned off or you're really risking a bad lean condition. Either turn it off or put a real sensor in.
I tried to take a video of 1st->2nd from a roll, starting in manual mode. I hammered 1st and my phone flew out of my hand and flew into the 3rd row seat LOL.

Awesome progress! We still want to see that video! Even better! Lol.

To me--that makes all the headaches worth it!! HELL YEAH!
Aside from my hood debacle, everything went pretty smooth. Its quiet, has no leaks, is running right. Came together nicely.
Its def over 100 ft lbs more than the 5.3 at below 4k. The 5.3 with the ported heads and cam was comparable 5k and up.
I need to work on MPG though its real bad lol. Hoping DFCO helps the city mpg. Highway not much I can do there.

Did you pour any ATF into your new torque converter before you installed it?
This is the baseline
I was wondering about the ZL1 stall converter.. I looked at way too many this spring. Decided to go with an 1800 stall converter. Built from GM core, with a lot bigger lock up clutch lining... It's really not any "looser" than the stock (1600 rpm).. So if I ever get time, I might have it restalled to 2000 ish. I think that would be better for accel..
