Alright guys, first off I'd like to thank everyone that nominated me and also a big thanks to PT.Net! If not for this site and all the helpful hints and guys that helped me along the way my truck wouldn't be what it is today.

Well, I got the truck as pretty much a full bolt-on 2004 GMC from GMCHammer back in 2006. It had a stock 5.3 with a cam, headers, exhaust, etc. I was so excited to get it because before this truck I had a 4.8 03' Silverado..it was such a drastic power change.

I took the truck to the track and it didn't run as good as I thought especially since it still had the stock converter. So the time had come for more horsepower since I'm not into all the interior details and such, just as long as it looks good and clean :).

Interior Modificiations:

-Escalde Guages
-Stock with a couple of switches ;)

Well the time had come and I had bought a 6.0L from litreddevil and I picked it up in Shreveport. I then shortly later had a Magnacharger in my hands to make it a beast :devil:

After a good tune from a local guy (Greg McBride) I had took it to the track and finally put down a solid run of an 11.97 spinning off the line. I had fun with the 6.0L and the magnacharger for awhile and loved the whine, but still wasn't near fast enough..
I ended up getting rid of this set-up and going even bigger to which is now my current set-up. A 408 stroker on the spray!

Engine Modifications:

-408 Stoker
-Victor Jr. Intake
-90mm TB
-Trick Flow heads
-2" Kook's Longtubes
-K&N CAI
- Comp 251/254 623/623 112+4
-And a bunch of other stuff that I'm sure Im missing..:secret2:

I have just now started getting this set-up all done and am still slowly in the process of completing it all. I still have quiet a few things to get done, but it will surely get done and hopefully as soon as I can get the time. I'm still anxiously waiting to put it on the dyno and take it to the track :devil:.
