i simply couldnt live without a truck .. its more like a part of me , even though i sold my old truck its like a drug u can never give it up nor live without it

Here is the deal im buying a 4.8 Yes a 4.8 and i want the forced induction route .. Supercharger is what im looking into getting soon on this new toy
so if u want to say drop a 6.0 or get a 5.3 then i think ur inthe wrong place coz im keeping it a 4.8 but with something to back it up

Mod it out for me please.. throw ideas at me and il pick what sounds reasnble

TIA

 

PM kbracing96....he has a 4.8, an STS kit, a Z06 cam, and some other small stuff in a 4x4 ECSB that is running low-mid 13's in the 1/4.

 

i think you would be better off going turbo than supercharger from what ive heard and seen the 4.8 responds very well to turbos

 

I'll have to say that i'm currently loving my Radix with the TR224 in my 4.8...of course i have the supporting stuff aka LT's, tune, etc.

 

Speaking from experience, being both a freak and owning a 4.8, here is what I recommend (and not):

YES :
Radix w/ 3.25" pulley
K&N Filter (comes with Radix, but good on its own too)
HPTuners or custom tune
Magnaflow muffler
AEM Wideband O2 sensor and AFR gauge
Corvette servo

NO :
Flowmaster muffler
Shorty headers
265 tires
Boost gauge w/ non-standard sized housing (so that's why it was so cheap!)

MAYBE :
E-Fans - If you get Flexalite, get the Delta Current Control controller and wire in your own fuse.

To Be Determined (i.e. in garage or on coffee table waiting for T-Day) :
LPE GT2-3 cam
Yellow LS6 springs
Yank TT3000 converter

Hope this helps. Good luck!

 

I like that list...but would skip the converter on a 2wd truck. Traction is gonna be "challenging" with the Radix...not to mention a TT3000 on top of it. I have and love that converter, but couldn't imagine hooking up with it and a Radix.

 

buy my engine and turbo setup. Over 500rwhp and very streetable. Forged 4.8 liter and a 67mm STS turbo kit w/ custom FMIC. The fastest 4.8 anywhere, EVER..........I am serious about the sale to......

 

Oops, my bad. Didn't notice he was 2WD.

 

I'm not sure if he is 2wd or 4wd, just mentioned it.

 

Yep! I like them turbo muffler thingys
