Default 06' VortecMax

Hello all, I have an 06' VortecMax Chevy, I would like to know of any performance mods that anyone has upgraded their own v-max's with. It already has a lot of power but I wanna be sure to beat all those Hemi dodges and upgraded Ford's out there.

Get it tuned by one of the guys to the right, throw on some longtubes, cam and stall. You shouldnt have to worry about the hemi guys to much, and dont be afraid of the upgraded fords a whole lot either.

Yessir, there are a ton of mods that you can do, here's some reading that should get you started off...

https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=395748

Search around this place and you'll find a ton of info about what works and what doesn't...I'd start off with beefing up the trans to help handle the mods that you will be doing. Start off with a Transgo HD2 shift kit, a Corvette 1-2 and billet 3-4 servo, and a TruCool 40k trans cooler. Then decide if you want to go forced induction or stay naturally aspirated. Choose a cam and maybe head combination, and get a higher stall torque converter that is matched to that combo to get you into your powerband quicker. Long tube headers, a cat-back, custom exhaust, or muffler to help exhale, and a cold air intake, be it home made or store bought to help get air in. Custom PCM tuning is a given, we have the best tuners as sponsors, take your pick. I'm going with BlackBear, but Wheatley and Nelson all have stellar reputations

Welcome to the site! How fast you want to go is only limited by how much you have to spend!
