Good setup for DD?
I'm new to these engines because I just bought my 03 silverado. I'm wanting to get some power/sound out of her yet still have it be a good DD. I've searched a lot and received a lot of information but would like some responses first hand. Here's the list so far, I'm not wanting to do tooo much, just some minor stuff.
Bolt ons before cam/etc...: -Edelbrock shorty headers (I want long-tubes but not sure what I can get as far as smog legal in CA.) -True duals with magnaflows/x-pipe custom by muffler shop -S&B CAI All the rest of these would be done on one shot -TR Cam(220/220 .551/.551 114) What's the difference from 114 to 112? Do I need new valve springs with this cam? -Yank 3000 converter -HD2 shift kit -B&M trans cooler -And a Nelson tune Any advice/changes for the better? The first 3 mods I'll being doing right away, one by one. Then probably early next year get the rest done by a good shop. TIA, Jonathon |
you'll need Comp 918 valve springs for that cam
id suggest getting 4.10 gears and a posi (detroit trutrac IMO) sounds like a good combo |

since you already have 3.73s its not worth it IMO to spend around $1k on a gear and posi swap (have to swap front and rear) just get a trutrac in the rear and you'll be good to go
yes run in 4hi at the track reg cab , ext cab, or crew cab |
Are these the right valve springs? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

yes, good posi unit, i havent heard of one breaking yet
some of the eaton posi's are wearing out as the have clutches the trutrac doesnot and therefore has nothing to wear out |
and yes those are the correct valve springs

Thanks, I'm going read up on it. Not sure as to what rearend I have though. HMM, I'll have to figure that out. You think 14's would be reasonable with a good tune?
BTW- Very fast responses!!! :hail: |

I'm probably the first choice as 12-bolt with 3.73's. |
