I know all the internal engine stuff is applicable, but what is available in the way of bolt-ons such as headers and such?

If I get an SS, I want it to have some *****, because I won't have a car to race for a while.

 

Pretty much everything that's available for the other LS1-based truck engines.

It's definitely not as big as the car world, but we get by...

 

Well I can do my own engine stuff, but headers and a cat-back would be nice also. I assume LS1 Edit is compatible as well? Thanks Marc

 

Yep, we have high priced and low priced headers, cat backs, pulleys, electric fans, intakes, blowers, ls1edit, oh and SPARK PLUG WIRES

 

Yup, Edit is out there, but it's not ready for the in-car programming in the '03's or '04's just yet. We have to buy a cable that allows you to program the PCM on the bench.

There's a good amount of stuff out there for exhaust - TOG (The Other Guys), ASM (Arizona Speed and Marine), and Thorley all make a set of good headers. JBA does a good set of shorties that bolt right up. The others require cutting and welding.

There are only a few cat-back's for the SS's available right now, and they all seem to be up around $700-800.

There are a good amount of air-intakes... UPD seems to be the most popular - some have dyno'd it around 20rwhp.

I'd be interested in hearing what you have planned for the internals for the motor - I'm looking for a H/C setup for the spring, but I'm not sure what numbers to look for, for good all around driveability in a 5300lb truck.

 

Thanks guys. I may be able to get a really good deal on a truck if my car ever sells. I think a good performing truck give me the best of both worlds, utility and fun. And it can tow stuff!

Anyone done headers with a fabbed up true dual system yet? Do the trucks come with single or dual CATs from the factory?

 

Dual cats.

There are quite a few here with true duals...

 

SWEET! So you can get headers and use the factory cats for a true dual setup?

 

Also, if you want some good information got to ls1truck.com and talk to farmtruc, he runs the site, he has worked on a lot of SS. Plus some guys there that have SS's that can give you some pointers.

 

Thanks!
