Where’d y’all get the belt to run with the Fluidampr 25%? What brand and the part number, if y’all not md sharing?

I used a Dayco 5060785, fit perfectly on my 2015 1LE with the 25% Fluidampr, took a couple tries to get it right. The last 3 digits is the belt length so its 78.5 inches long. Put the tensioner in the perfect spot.

I would do new lifters and trays. LS2 Timing setup (dogbone etc.) to go with your C5R timing chain. And since you're there already: Melling HVOP and an aftermarket damper.

391 stock damn. I’m not bone stock I have a CAI intake but it’s not tuned lol. Are you staying stock?

Bo white TB, break in oil, assembly grease, mishimoto 169 tstat, and Taylor 10.4 wires came in this week.

Install is starting next Saturday will probably fire her up that Sunday.

I’m thinking about shooting a time lapse video if anyone has any pointers on how to accomplish that I’m all ears.

~42x ish RWHP is the average on LS3 cars with those mods.

[sixty9fordkiller]

your car will likely make more. i think your car has electric power steering. no hydraulic power steering pump

I wish I could see the jump in power as I install the parts but I’m doing it all this weekend so if I jump from 404 to 500 I’ll be happy.
