These guys are right. Z71 is the package on the truck. The cluster has a Carbon Fiber look, shocks, plates, and few other things.

Default Caltracs

Just installed caltracs last week and took it to track...
My input on them is
1) on street with over 600rwhp and strret radials does not help other than stops well hop...
2) At track helps plant and stop wheel hop...drag radials definitely get planted and traction bars are a must...

I am testing shurtrax weight bag in bed to see if helps street traction...so far 2 days with it and does help launch traction but obviously more weight hurts at top end...

Guys only thing hard was getting the front bushing out. I drill it in 4 places, Air hammer the edge in and air hammer the bushing out. Then used a ball joint press to install the aluminum bushing. One trick to remove and install bushing is to use a chisel to spread the eye on the springs.

Yes, Without my pressing tool I would have R&R the spring. But with the press it was fast and easy.
