Here is the mostly finished project. Its tuned and running good. I lifted the truck more and put 20x10 weld Cheyenne wheels with 35-12.50-20's.
The truck sounds awesome with the Cam, headers, y-pipe and cold air and runs well but I'm not a fan of the 6L80e so far. It seems to never shift the same twice and it loves to spin the tires then shift up into 4th gear or be in 6th gear at 40 mph..lol
The truck definitely get a lot of looks when it's parked and loping..
Also the front windows have been tinted to match the rears..
I'll post an idle video when I can..

Looks awesome, I've always loved those wheels. I want to hear an idle clip! The headers look great too.

How is it driving the 3000 stall with the larger wheels and tires? I would imagine that makes it feel pretty loose.

Yeah, it feels pretty loose and the truck has over a 100k miles, so the trans was shifting soft. I had my tuner firm up the shifts so its a lot better than it was. I'm pleased with the build over all. Its not a barn stormer but it will light up the 35's pretty quick!! lol
only downside is when you get in the gas, you can watch the gas gauge move....

Thanks Vortec350ss.

My project on the holiday was to replace the front bumper the previous owner busted up and a billet grill.. I got a 2011 HD bumper complete from a buddy that does full replacements and swapped my fog lights in.
I wasn't as easy as i thought it would be.. lol
After some here she is!
Grill didn't get finished in time for the pic...
I also got a low budget grill and kept the all chrome on in the pic.
Figured I'd say that so I wouldn't get flamed for cutting up the All-terrain grill..
