Basic bolt-ons

Damn, I really do suck! We had almost the same trucks, I make 9.9:1 CR and basically the only differences were your LT's and no cats + your cam is slightly longer duration!

Nah, you and your truck weigh more and I had all my shift points and everything perfect.

You actually make more peak HP than I did Im pretty sure. Just need to work on 1/4mile times for yours.

Neither ... #1 reason was the 4L80e. Followed behind that was stock heads/not enough sompression, and a small motor. I think with some good springs on it, would have done MUCH better too. I think it would have had potential for a solid 12 cam only with good valve springs and a 4L60e.

Almost ... but not exactly. It's a TORQUE converter!
