[HOTCIVIC]

Found this on another forum

full build is here ...http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/in...p?topic=142130

bought it new earlier in 2010. 2WD single cab short bed w/t, towing pack is the only option, it has a 4.8 V8 (not the 5.3 ;) )

Did upgraded valve springs and a cam (cuz both were laying around from his bro's project)...





The I/C and the MPT76 q trim - install begins with like 700 miles on the truck and 2 weeks after purchase...

A TH400 was in the truck for a bit along with a better DS because the stock ones are only balanced to 100MPH - junkyard TH

here is how you get a 2010 silverado truck to start without the electronic transmission attached.

Then a 4L80 was bought, dropped in and a trans controller was bought to use it with the new style ecu (01-06 don't need a controller for the swap) a circle D converter was installed too...

Some info about the truck:

Bought it new for $17.5k

Cost of build was $5500 total

Was running about 14 psi on the 11.5 @ 117 run

Now is running over 16 psi and put down mid 500s rwhp.

Only internal mods to the 4.8 are springs and LS6 Cam

Unusual placement of the turbo. Make sure that sucker has a drive shaft hoop!
