First fire
It fired. Stoked! Solid 50psi oil pressure at idle. Fuel pressure seemed a bit low but I'll monitor it. The car has been sitting for about six months. I've owned this car for 27 years. Next up will be getting it painted and working through some wiring gremlins. Thank you again for the help and positivity here. Best group of guys. No BS and you guys know your stuff. I didn't post much but I'll miss this place.

Skool's Out! PLEASE READ
Hello Skool friends, after some serious debate we've decided to shutter this channel and invest the time into our other social media efforts. Good news though! Build of the month contests and prizes will persist via Instagram so keep an eye out for that. Also, we've doubled down on customer interaction on Youtube, FB, IG, and TikTok with a dedicated employee responding to questions on those platforms. So look for the same great community supporting LS and LT swaps on those channels! https://www.youtube.com/@ICTBillet https://www.instagram.com/ictbillet/ https://www.facebook.com/ICTBilletLLC/ https://www.tiktok.com/@ictbilletllc

Highlighting customer builds somehow, still? My car isn't really that great but I've owned it since 1999 so I guess there's something. Great products, guys. I do have a small piece of feedback regarding the 4 corner steam line kit. Kind of a pain with the FAST intake. touch more length in the hoses would have helped but the install wasn't too bad. And it looks great. Also, do you have a recommendation on the steam line T to the radiator? No one really makes any -4AN to 3/8 barb fittings.
Thank you
Thanks for the help with my build. I am planning to fire it maybe later today or tomorrow after work. It's close, now!
Thank you
Decision time - Injectors
Hey guys, Time to order some injectors. Rather than use the ones I had in my prior build, I think I "might" want to just get some new ones. But I have a few questions. My goal is to build a reliable, fun, street motor. It's in a third gen F-Body with a T56. 1. How accurate are most companies out of the box without verifying their stated flow rate? 2. Need help settling on a good brand if I go that route. 3. Are my current injectors (Bosch 280150558) worth reusing after a sonic cleaning and flow-match? Current combo used green top (casting 280150558, rated at 42# - have seen 43.5# on some sites). My build is N/A and anticipated to stay that way for awhile. I will be verifying my prior tune with HP Tuners. Here's my combo: Block - 6.0 iron, bored .030 over (4.030”) Crank shaft- Stock, 3.622” stroke, ground .010” Main bearings - King MB5293MC .010 (Standard bi-metal aluminum silicon with anti-friction coating) Pistons - Mahle PowerPak 4032 forged 4.030" with .945" wrist pins Connecting rods - K1 Technology 012AE29610 forged 4340 H-beam (6.098” with .945” wrist pin) Connecting rod bearings - King CR807SI .010 Oil pump - Melling 10295 with mid-level spring Oil pump barbell - Improved Racing (reusing, with inspection ) Oil pan - Stock 98-02 LS (reusing, with inspection Oil pan baffle - Improved Racing (reusing, with inspection ) Camshaft bearings - King CS5171HPT Camshaft - BTR LS3 Stage 3 v2 (reusing, with inspection) Timing chain - Cloyes Hex-a-Just (reusing, with inspection) Timing chain damper - Trickflow Specialties (reusing, with inspection) Lifter buckets - new GM (reusing, with inspection) Lifters - LS7 (reusing, with inspection) Heads - stock 243 castings Valvesprings - BTR upgraded (reusing, with inspection) Head gaskets - GM 12610046 (4.100" - .051" compressed thickness) Head bolts - reusing ARP (torqued 1 time, reusing with inspection) Pushrods - 7.400" x .080" (reusing, with inspection) Rocker arms - (reusing stock rockers, with inspection)
Anyone see any issues with this combo?
Installed in a third gen Camaro. T56, street car. Hoping for 450 wheel but maybe a bit on the hopeful side for that. My Mahle compression ratio calculator specs out around 10:37:1 with a .051 gasket on a 64cc with 0 deck. A 0.030" skim off the heads puts it at 10.6:1 which is pretty pump gas friendly with that cam and 91 here in California. I definitely plan to verify that deck height before bolting it all together, though. Thoughts? Leaning toward Michigan Motorsports or King SI bearings. Unsure on that as they're in the same price point. Block: 6.0, bored .030 (4.030") Crank: Stock, ground .010" and polished Rods: K1 Technologies forged 6.098" H-beam with .945 wrist pins Pistons: Mahle PowerPak forged 4032 with .945 wrist pin Cam: BTR LS3 Stage 3 V2 Heads: 243 castings with upgraded BTR springs Rocker arms: Stock with BTR trunnion upgrade Oil pump: Melling 10295 with mid-level spring Pushrods: BTR .080 wall 7.400" Lifters: stock LS7 with new buckets Timing chain: Cloyes Hex-a-Just Timing chain damper: Trickflow Specialties Head gasket: 4.100" LS9 GM (.051" compressed) Valve covers: Holley tall (to accommodate the trunnion upgrade) Intake: FAST 92mm Throttle body: Motion Racework's 92mm Injectors: 42mm Catch can: Mighty Mouse Steam line: ICT 4-port kit Oil pan: Stock LS with Improved Racing baffle Oil barbell: Improved Racing Radiator: Stock 4th gen with 4th gen dual fans

@Eric Harmer 6.0. My combo is in the post. Maybe too much info lol I have a little bit of trauma after my ATK fiasco and want to get it right. I think I am going to run King Bearings
