Well I drove the truck today with the new engine and transmission. The l33 has 130000 miles.I had the heads milled .036 and had the valves redone. I put a free lq9 cam in along with ls3 valve springs. With high 10 ish compression this engine runs! It's feels so peppy and strong yet is mostly stock. it will roast the tires now when I down shift frI'm 3rd to second. Sounds awesome with the new headers and high compression engine.
