The build took almost a year, as it was our first year in business so it got put on the back burner at times. It was approximately a 5-6 month build. We chose Dewitts Radiator for this build and all our builds because they are an American-made company from close to my hometown, they make amazing products that fit the way they should on swap vehicles, they keep modified engines nice and cool at stock temperatures, and have amazing quality that works right every time. The whole power train was setup to handle a power adder. The L33 5.3 LS has long been known as one of the best engines to handle a supercharger stock, it’s lightweight aluminum block and other added benefits drew us to this engine. We knew the build was going to be an expensive one so we did everything supporting a supercharger build to handle the power, and left it naturally aspirated for rock solid reliability but give the buyer the option to add a power adder without any worry of problems down the road.
