Have you decide on your first mod?

 

FI is bad, but nitrous is ok? hmmm might wanna rethink that
i guess headers would be good to start with?

 

i am confused. i didnt mean FI was bad and NO2 was ok, i just meant it was ok by the rules. my main problem is i dont have time. i have been in iraq for 7 months, and i am finally coming home for 2 weeks. then i have to leave again for another 5 months. the whole engine tuning is new to me, and i dont know what i need. what will hurt it and what will help it, i have no clue. i have pumped up this whole whippin an R/Ts a$$ thing, i have a major statement to back up when i get home. everyone here has thier own opinion, and the professionals (nelson- take no offense) think i am full of so they wont even give me one. i have contacted a few of yall thru email, and yall help... but then some one says "hellno, dont do that... do this" cut me some slack, i am a newbie with lots of cash and no clue. i am going to need counseling after this. i have friends in almost every corner of this build up. gotta trans guy who works for beer, differential guy who works food. only thing i aint got is an engine guy, who knows what i need.

 

if all your after is one kill than slap and exhaust on headers ypipe and cat back, get a tune and put a 150 shot on it good buy rt and you can do it in a week

 

i want more than one kill, somebody mentioned some rustangs too... i want something i can go sneak around town and go "sleeping" in. lots of trucks back home have loud or NO pipes on them. besides the R/T boys, nobody expects it from a full size. it is fun to burn a highschool kid on prom night in his daddy muskrat with his girl shotgun, laughing at him, as i roll out on that A$$. you know fun stuff. a setup like you just mentioned how long could i expect to use it, before i melt something???

 

start with intake and exhaust then do a custom tune

 

Personally I would go stall, tune, shift kit, Exhaust and cam. That should get solid 14's. I have a 2000 Z-71 that should be a 14 sec truck if I could ever get teh tuning issues worked out. I still have the factory airbox, only a drop in K&N. A Magnaflow muffler, tune, cam, vette servo, and free mods. I gona add a shift kit and stall soon, and some lt's whenever Pasesetter starts fitting 4x4's. Then I'm done.......Yea right. Then 6.0, Then RADIX

Seriously. Go with LT's no cats, single 3" muff. Nice cam, tune, stall and shift kit. You'd be suprised what it'll do. Good luck wiping your a$$ with that R/T. And thanks to all that are supporting our country overseas.

 

you arent planning to do all this in 2 weeks are you?

 

An exhaust, cam shift kit and stall can be done in a few days, a couple of weeks is plenty of time.

 

not in two weeks. i sent the word home to do the eaton posi and shift kit, like two days ago now. stall i am waiting on till i get a final answer, everone seems to say 3000. what is this vette servo, and what is it gonna do for me? what are my options for headers if i wanna keep cats( gonna gut them so i can pass visual... just in case) i plan on doing as much as i can from here, then showing up at nelsons to do the tune (and whatever else). hopefully leaving me time to play, i just dont wanna wait forever to do it. and why wont anybody comment on the no2? this is a possible alternative to doing all at once... maybe exhaust, tune, stall and shift kit, spray it for now and cam it later on when i get home for good?? what is a decent wet shot that i can use without worrying, i have no exp. with nitrous. i hear lots of bad things but everyone argues it is ok.
