305 or 315 tires (not sure of the width)
17" denali rims
UPD intake

To be in the top 5 five of the Fastest Trucks.

I think I have a pretty good start http://www.ls1truck.com so a little more should get me there in no time. I plan to have:

4.10 gears
Posi
Fat tires
Performance Cam (not sure how radical yet)
100 HP Shot

I think I should be in the 14's somewhere, I raced a Probe GT and a V6 Camaro this week and beat them. Not much to go off of, but it made me feel good, they just looked and shook their head and smiled?

Well I hope to get into the 14's. It shouldn't be too hard since the ex cabs w/ 3.73 locker are doing it stock. I have the money but am still looking for a good used 3.73 & locker for about $300 (thanks for the info last week oxidizr.) I am going to install a Vette servo probably tomorrow. If anyone has install instructions and/or pics send them to cashdudehomie@webtv.net I will also be getting the ASP crank pulley soon. I need to do the tstat mod ASAP but I can't find a damn BB!! Exterior, I will be getting the door and tailgate handles and mirror covers painted to match, and swap my Chevy molding for the GMC style. A roll pan and black chrome inside handles will be put on too before the end of the year.

Here is mine,

-New tranny, probably Jet, in the works right now. It will probably be in Street Trucks again on that.
-Ported throttle body with bump stop mod.
-Electric fans
-Torque Coverter, not sure which one yet. Have a trans cooler waiting.
-Dyno tuned, not sure where yet: raise shift points, remove TQM, ect.
-Maybe some ASM long tubes, not sure if the gains would be worth it though.
-Some sticker tires

That is all I can think of right now, do not want to get too extreme. I am hoping for some mid to high 13's before the tuning, and low 13's after.

If so, you got a buyer.

I am planning on a converter and some tranny work along with some custome tunning (to get rid of the TQM). Hopefully I can be hitting the 13s N/A on stock internals when the weather cools off a bit. Then I will be looking into nitrous and maybe even a cam. I would get the spray now but I am scared my tranny wouldn't hold it. It is having a hard time as it is now.

My baseline is a 15.73. I'd like to get into the 14's (and maybe someone can help me out if I'm going in the wrong direction) with:

--LT-1 electric fans (which will allow me to put the rest of the FIPK kit on)
--UD pullies
--50 or 75 shot NX kit
--3.73 gears/auburn locker
--ET Streets (or similar sticky tire)

Will it take more to get there? less? Thanks for the input.
