decided to keep my truck and added a k&N, spacer , headers (shorites,) .. my plans for this truck is to make it fully bolt ons plus a FILE tune (here in the valley) and i was thinkin about adding twins ! ? is it possible ??? any suggestions or price quotes ??

BTW .. best time of 15.9 at the tracks with my mods ..

 

dont waste your money on the spacer... put the money toward the other bolt ons or a tune... also i got shorties over the summer and now wish i had put lt's on instead.. also why not get a v8 with a single turbo instead of twins the power gain i think would be greater... sweet looking truck btw and good luck with the build

 

I say spray it.

 

You can build a pretty nasty high compression, high winding NA 4.3L if you really want to. One that would scare most NA V8's. What are your goals and budget?

 

its hard to get a hold of lts for sixxers .. spraying it was going to be my option n i didnt wnt a v8 .. since i wnt to have sumthing tottaly different from everyone else .. my goals would be a nice 13.5 on motor for my truck i would be satisfied .. n budget well i can work around with that have money saved up so twins would be a nice upgrade .. any ideas or prices quotes would be helpful .. i was thinking of going with nori-built ..

 

sounds like you got your mind set.. being different is always fun and cool...good luck with the build make sure you run a thread so we can watch

 

^ thanx bro.. hope to have the setup begin real soon ..

 

Just contact Trick Performance and have them build a TVS1900 intake for you. A TVS1900 on your 4.3L would get you low 13's and high 12's if you pushed it and probably drive like it were stock. Hell for that matter even an MP112 which is available for a reasonable price right now would get you similar results.

 

single sts would be one of the easiest routes. for an sts setup with a chemical intercooler, you could buy an sts setup for a normal v8 and the modifications to the exhaust piping and intake tubing would be simple as could be. Installation of a chemical intercooler would be no different than if you were installing the kit on a v8. Make sure you get good long tube headers, and a nice ORY with no mufflers. Those STS trucks sound mean with no muffler since the turbo quiets it down a bit.

 

Your plan sounds similar to building a turbo buick engine. Look at turbobuick.com for some ideas.
