6.1 Stroker Build/Swap

[spoolinlust]

Anyone know if I should use the high pressure spring or high volume spring in the melling oil pump? Didn't want that to get lost in the post.

The 6.1 stroker is officially in the garage getting final prep for installation.
Turns out it's at 419 cubic inches and 10.3:1 compression Manley Stroker kit.
Valve job
Bronze guides
OEM 6.1 heads and valves
Comp stage 3 cam (likely switching to the stage 2 HRT for the low end grunt)
Blueprinted etc.
Going to paint it
Spacers for the 6.4 manifold should be here tomorrow.
Installing the brackets for the accessories relocation tomorrow (hopefully).
Went with 650cc Deatsshwerks injectors and 340lph pump.
HPTuners MPVI3
Only tuning the engine and conservatively at that, for now (Make the RFE last a bit longer)

Hopefully this fall I can get the 8hp swap done and my ECU flashed to an 05 and turn it up.

End of next year, should be running 12psi turbo

Glad to see you know you have to replace the trans. You can't just "flash the PCM" to a different year, they are physically different PCM's. You'll need to find an actual 2005 PCM, then you'll be covered NA. Those year PCM's aren't great for boost tuning, depending on how far you wanna turn it up. A standalone may be in your future.

Trans definitely needs to be addressed.
Hemituner and Jay Greene mentioned they can now flash the PCM to a manual/ 2005 that allows for better trans tuning and engine tuning. Seem to be some top dogs in the industry.

My rod bolts are 8740 so not going higher than 750 at the crank.

This will definitely require the standalone.
I'm considering MS3 gold and fonse performance tuning.
That's maybe 2+ years from now.
Truck won't be racking up miles so not worried about that side of things.

Being honest, I'll probably stop at the 8HP swap and better PCM situation.

Got the intake spacers in today and a few things mocked up. Intake should clear the firewall, gotta measure tomorrow. Got some DIMS and off to get some hardware for the accessories brackets.
EGR block off for the head is done
Returning the Deatshwerks injectors and getting some 525 FIC's.

Tomorrow:
*Intake EGR block off plate
*Finish bracket set up with new hardware.
*Install EGR block off on head and I take
*Install Water Pump

Had to move the alt brackets to get it off the valve cover
