If I were you, I would start out with the following (in no particular order):
- 4.10 Gears and Locker
- TR 224 cam (along with hardened pushrods and 918 springs)
- 3000 stall
- Pacesetter Headers and ORY
- E-fans
- UD Pulley
- Any intake
- 100 Shot N2O

That right there will put a smile on your face...

Thanks Dan..............you told me what I wanted to hear. Who'd you get that cam through? What about the N2O? 150 shot? How is that new truck of yours coming along anyways? Almost forgot, thanks to you too Thiems..........

You could always have some kind of flanges like some good ball and socket flanges welded on the the Pacesetters. Not having any flanges is a major reason I order some OBX headers though. Time will only tell if they will be a good header for the money for me, but I figured with no real negative feedback on them yet and SS for the price of Coated steel was worth the risk. If I was to get the pacesetters I would spring for the extra cost to have them coated I would estimate they will last 10 time longer.

On the Yank TT3000 converter I really like mine and I drive about 20 miles to work everyday. Doesn't feel much different than stock I think it only brake stalls to about 2600 so it's tighter than I was expecting. I still have a stock cam for now and it may be a while before I get around to upgrading that. You can get the yank converters new directly from Yank or their seems to be a used on come up on here regularly. I got mine used/rebuilt.

If you like loud then bullets will do you fine. I don't think I could tolerate driving a truck as loud as Tyler's truck all the time. It sounds good when he gets on it though.

I also forgot to add:
- Built Tranny (especially if you plan on spraying the hell out of it with a 150 shot)

i bought my cam from another member on here...thunder550. he had it in a supercharged 6.0. its a VHP vinci high performance. they are a sponsor. as far as nitrous, i'd stay around 100-125 unless you want a 6.0 real fast or a new tranny. New truck is comin along pretty good. Another easy cheap mod to be done is a vette servo...

I hate to ***** this out again, but here is how that cam sounded in my truck after we got it put in...

Yeah, if I spray it, it'll be a while on that one. Don't want it to have a meltdown just yet. Lol....

Yep a new one is $525+shipping, but you should be able to find a good used one for around $100-150 less than that. I paid $420 shipped for mine and it had not yet been installed since it was "freshend up" to like new condition.
