Default TR 220 questions?

well finally all my parts cam in for my truck. My tr220, longtubes, lifters, pushrods, springs, timing chain, and my circle d 3000.

my truck is a 99 extended cab 5.3 z71.

just wondering what kind of power people think i will be gaining, kind of mileage ill have, just basically anything to expect.

im so excited to finally get it all in, i just have to wait till my winter break to get it all installed. will also be getting it re tunes, shift kit and servo installed at that time.

Your combo if dialed in right, will get you into the low low 13's

Wheatley is a great guy he actually tunned my truck last year. But this time i think i am going to be going with a shop south of Houston called SXT performance.
