      How do we connect with you for paid advisement?
      I am looking at doing an LQ4 with the LS3 heads and Intake, DBC TB, how do I know which wire harness to buy? I can obviously type in Amazon and eBay but it’s still difficult to know is exactly what I am looking for as a first time swapper. A screen share video would be awesome with a full walk through
      Also what is the difference between the more expensive EFI systems and what you’re recommending?
      Everyone I personally know who has done or is doing an LS swap has a horsepower amount in mind and the build revolves around that, so I like that you include potential horsepower amounts.
      Would love to see a turbo build

    Mr.Krusty always spittin facts kids, listen to this dude, he knows what he is talking about….the good,bad,and ugly…..he know what he is talkin about……my first swap i blew soooo much money….5th swap, not so much. By that time you use what you already have…..meaning left over junk from previous swaps

    Great tip on building an engine on the side. I bought a 6.0 gonna put it in a 65 Mustang I know people will hate me but 5.3s here can range from $300 to maybe 1k and I am in San Jose CA. Might be worth it to get a cheap one and throw it in.
    I think a good idea for a video would be to show us the tear down, and comment on what you would change or if you would reconsider putting that engine in.

      Nothing wrong with a 5.3 just easier to make more horsepower and torque with the bigger 6.0 or 6.2. just depends on how much horsepower you want. Could always turbo or supercharge.

Spend about 30 minutes making changes and you are ready to go. PCMs sell at the self pull junkyard around here for around $25. And to be honest the ones you are buying from are probably using the same open source software that’s free to everyone.
