If you want to clean the engine out a little bit, put some seafoam in the oil for about 100 miles and drain it and also you can put some in your fuel to clean your injectors. ThrottleHappy7 05-15-2007, 10:34 PM Intake and exhaust are probably the best bang for the buck, and they're something that will help your truck out, not just hp/tq but also gas mileage... depending on how you drive. That's where I'd start, and then go from there. Also, what are your ideas for the truck? Chevy96 05-16-2007, 03:44 PM yeah been looking into getting some but i cant find any with the o2 sensor but you said that hooker makes a set ill look into but thatnks for the help guys, but what ive done is a engine tune up ( new spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, drop in k&n filter) cat back dual exhaust, and 3.73's. YenkoST 05-16-2007, 07:17 PM For your rear o2s, if you delete the cats, you will need a tune to turn them off. For your others, since they are heated, you can stick them about anywhere as long as they are close to the header.

YenkoST 05-18-2007, 08:54 PM Depends how strict Texas is....if they look under your truck then your going to fail. |
