This is a thread for my friend that has a stock truck and wants to mod it. I told him to forget about the intake and do headers and exhaust, a locker and some 410s, a tr224 cam and a wheatly tune. for now..btw this truck is an auto. he wants to kno if this is alright for him to do and if he needs anything else. all motor is his goal. and he wants to know about how much hp with those mods.

 

320ish to the wheels.., and is it just a dyno queen or does he want it to go fast too??? If so he'll need a nice stall 3k should do fine.

 

he wants to go fast.. so a yank3000 and some bfgoodrich drs will do the trick?

 

I agree with you,that would be a great start

 

hey Charlie, how much 4 a tune not including core charge?
I'm gonna need a retune after gears and a cam.I'm gonna need something better than a w4m LOL

 

anyone know a good place to buy a eaton or detriot locker and can i buy it with gears in it?

 

Try Ron's machining service on Ebay.

Those 3.23s with a 5.3 have to be a DOG down low.

I have a 6.0 and 3.42s, but recently went to a 31.5" tire, so my effective gear ratio is now around 3.31. It absolutely sucks down low

 

yea down low sucks and even when it shifts its not completely where it needs to be.. i hope to see a nice improvement with the 410s. off the line at 3/4 throttle is a joke. people are only impressed from a 40 mph drop into 1st. but off the line is weak.

 

You got a good starting point, but I would personally get a bigger 3200+rpm stall & smaller 9.5" inch converter with a TR224 in an ex. cab. Try the yank ss3600 that is a nice converter.

 

so a 9.5 inch converter and what size and bolt rear? i forgot.
