Re: Koppertop ls turbo

Thanks...well, only put about 200 miles on this 5.3 and already hurt 2 pistons...so I found a 6.0 for $300 that I'm going to build. Only has around 50k miles on it, but I'm going to go thru it and put forged bottom end in it... then I'll have a tuner that knows what he is doing, so hopefully this does not happen again..

Re: Koppertop ls turbo

Nice job on the badges. It might be cool to make some "8-294" or "8-323" for those who want to be a bit more subtle about their swap.
