Yeah I love the LS2 engine. but it's a totally different beast. It loves to rev up and makes good power up top. But the raw torque of a boosted 5.4 is just plain nutty. Hard to compare the two. Get your truck tuned better and then we will race

But those tags will be awesome. That will def get some attention on the street and you can embarrass some sports cars. My truck is "FAST KR" and every once and a while some people try to race me.

Timing cover, small minute one. But gonna putt everything off and fix it.

Trick flow calls for rtv on top of the pipe threaded fitting. It's super close to the timing cover gaskets seal.

In the picture you can see it has two holes close to each other. Pita
