Hey guys, I most frequently post on ls1tech but since this I have a truck question, I thought I would post here. I want an honest opinion from you guys concerning driveability, estimated rwhp, and 1/8 timeslips. Also, if you would kindly critique the setup and tell if the combo matches well or if I should change some things to have the best matched setup. I know you guys are going to laugh at the intake but it seems to work.

Things to be bought with recently received scholarship money(as in this week):
TR 220/112 kit
MT ET Street 28/11.50/17
nitrous kit (still researching size and mfg. Recommendations please, and yes ive read 1000's of threads on this already and they all sound the same. FYI, Im a nitrous dummy)
dyno tune @ an established LS1 shop.

Here's the deal. Truck runs ~9.7-.9 with 2.2 60' currently. Im shootin for 7's if possible. Thanks in advance guys.

 

id get some sort of aftermarket limited slip, like a eaton LSD or a detroit trutrac.

may need a built trans for the nitrous.

i reccommmend the nitrous outlet truck throttle body plate kit in a 100-150 shot or the HSW plate kit in same size shot.

 

I posted G80 which is how the truck came equipped but it actually has an eaton limited slip which i forgot to note. Just wanted you guys to know it wasnt a one tire fire. lol.

On another note, are those plates compatible with the 05 throttle body? and as far as the trans, I am going to run a window switch and hope for the best. If it fails, the trans will be replaced with a upgraded unit then.

And last of all, I know this is a nitrous neverending debate, but would you run a wet or dry kit (150 max)? Remember, im N20 impaired.

 

I would do a 100 wet.

 

def. wet shot.

the plate is just like a throttle body spacer, as in it doesnt matter whether you have a cable TB or a DBW TB

 

Let me get this straight. Just the truck plate from nitrous outlet is $309? This doesnt include the kit? If just a plate cost that, I am going to have to do something different.

$699 for the kit

 

Damn, youre on the ball today. Thanks. I knew I was missing something at that price. That looks like a pretty sweet kit. Would I need anything more than some TR6's, FPSS, TPS ?module? and window switch for a relatively safe and effective kit (says up to 04 but i guess it will work on 05)? Anyone have a favorite TPS setup? Also, I wish I could get some guys in here to comment on the cam selection. This stuff will ordered by the end of the week.

 

id probably add some apillar or elsewhere gauges( fuel press. nitrous press. and wideband AFR)

i will say that that cam (TR220 on 112) took bluecajun5.3 to 12.5s in the 1320 with stock heads and intake manifold NA

 

I'd make sure it's not the G80......what is the option code? or was it replaced by aftermarket unit
