We'll guys it's about that time of the year and I bought a couple new goodies for my truck and It's going to the shop soon. I posted a threat on the GM section but I came here for more feedback on everything. I'm new to this whole LS engine stuff and I want to get more knowledge on it.

As I listed above I bought goodies for my truck. A baby 220/220 @114 LSA comp cam. 1218 PAC valve springs. Texas Speed 7.4 hardened push rods.
Guy who's doing the swap is charging me 300 and he's providing the gaskets and I'm providing the coolant. Along with that being said I'm getting it tuned that night if my tuner is free.
With this stuff being done I'm going to run it for awhile and see how she does. I'm looking into ordering a GlowShift trans temp with sensor and all from them. The guy has a corvette servo brand new I'm planning on buying off him. Then Im looking to order a Tru Cool trans cooler. Once the trans is set and all good to go. I'll move towards finding a set of e fans which is being an issue in my area. Kenny Cash from HP Tuners is building me a harness w/ AC for 110.

Truck currently has a full K&N cai w/ mass air flow censor screen deleted and magnaflow exhaust dumped underneath the cab. No drone what so ever but I want it all the way out the back. Me being from Kansas I got a connection with Aces from Houston and he hooked me up with some kick *** tips that'll go underneath the back bumper.

As I'm always looking for more information and helpful tips anything works. Think I'm on the right track to building a nice little daily/street driven truck.

(looking for a threat of some sort on how to port and polish the throttle body. with what tools to use and all.)




same setup I'm running

Don't buy glowshift gauges, they aren't very nice and fail often. I'd look into other brands for sure.


Also, re-install your MAF screen. It was there for a reason, to straighten the airflow going across the MAF wires for more correct readings. Having no screen will allow choppy airflow across the MAF with greater chance of it reading incorrectly.

What's another good brand to go with? I want something that'll last and won't fail.

I would go with auto meter. I have a glow shift boost gauge in my mercedes and yes its more accurite then somthing from harbour frieght but somtimes I get boost spikes upwards of 20psi and its only supposed to go to 14. Not sure if cheap gauge or motor going to explore haha.

Thanks man I'll look into that brand as well. Heard AEM Is a good brand as well.

Thanks Dan, she looks good when she's cleaned up. Still needs paint correction and a couple other things. Kinda thought about sending it to the body shop to get redone factory color and all. Seeing some things that been bugging me and paint problems with orange peal.
