Here are the pics of the new LBZ pistons.

These pistons are oversized LBZ slugs. They were modified by fly cutting tops to achieve the desired clearances and to get the comp. ratio to 14:1. They were also ceramic coated. The pistons were modified by Guy Tripp @ SoCal Diesel. And as usual the end result was nothing other than perfect!

Thanks goes out to Guy as he was under the gun to have them ready and they arrived right on time to Merchants door.:hail:

Nasty Girl is now a 6.7L :horsey:

Very Nice!! Is it running? How does it sound?

Thanks for continuing to post Nasty's progress.

Long block will be complete Monday and in the truck hopefully by Tuesday. Rest will be assembled hopefully by Wed/ Thursday Morning. Testing and tuning will be done by Tony (GMC 2002 Dmax) and Guy Tripp in Danville Friday to prepare for the Dyno Event.:D

Shiny!

Thought you were going for some engine Dyno time?


So Tripp is coming to Danville....

I thought MA was machining pistons in house?

Unfortunately no as the epuipment needed to log CP's is not available in time.

Finally good to meet Keith, we've talked for nearly a year on the phone, but its always nice to meet a good customer face to face. The pistons look very good. Unfortunatly, we didnt have the equipment in house to be able to perform the operations and when the pistons came in, we still didnt really know what operation we were going to do for compression adjustment and valve relief. After consultation with many, Keith, Guy and myself thought this to be a good way as it allowed for valve clearance and also put us at the target compression ratio.

just feed the guys some chili, too keep them going through the night. Nice bunch of guys here tonight. :D

Very nice guys!

Get off here and get back to work!! You guys got at least 2 truck to get running!):h

Keith is a super nice guy, he helped me fix some odds and ends on my truck while Merchant refreshed my trans. Truck shifts awesome now.:D

Awesome! Looking forward to reports on Nasty's progress.

I NEED those pistons!!!!!! :D

Congrats guys. I should've come over.

Congrats guys. I should've come over.

What the hell your only 1 hour away? :eek: We'll be here all day tomorrow! :)

Keith, are you planning on giving her the beans on the dyno, or is the plan to take it easy?

See you guys tomorrow am....heh heh heh

I don't think we will see the full potential this time around but I am not going to be to shy either.;)

:eek: :D good to hear!

Good to hear that its going to be running again, good luck on the dyno, hope to see some great numbers!!!!!!!!

Has it been dyno'd yet?

Git-er-done! :ro)

Be interesting to see what she can do.

Whats the goal of this thing, as far as power numbers goes?

How about track times, whats the goal on those?

Nice job guys!

I can't wait to see the dyno results and hopefully a run or two at Rocky mountain Raceway.

It is hard to say what the #'s will be as this is unchartered territory for this truck. I don't think 800+ on fuel only is unrealistic for it's first time out though. As far as a goal in track times I hope to get her into the 10's this year on #2 only! Would be the first CC to do so IIRC.:eek: :cool:

:cool:

No Valve relief's? I thought that cam had some wicked lift and duration.

This is the answer you are looking for.

Guy Trip made the cam and pistons, they should match;)

I was just reading through the post and checking out some of what you're doing on your truck and thinking to myself, the back of that truck looks familiar like I've seen that somewhere..... thinking..... oh yeah, when I drove up past MA last week I saw it there, lol. I need to get some more goodies for my truck :rolleyes:

Can't wait to see what your truck can do Nasty Girl! Should be awesome The guys on FullSizeChevy were talking about the fastest LB7s in the country and they were all talking about a twin turbo'd CC from Canada to be on the look out for. Should be exciting!!

updates on this dyno event yet?

updates on this dyno event yet?

Check the bench racing forum.. there's lots of reading in there on the dyno event. This thread is for the discussion of the pistons.

thanks

Very cool, be nice to see what it does now..
