Default What next?

Well, I have gotten most of my performance mods acheived. Actually, more than I ever intended on doing. I still need to run the truck in the quarter and might want to do a little more fine tuning for the cam and all. I still feel like I will be a little short of my goal of running the truck in the 13's. I may be wrong, but I think I will be about 14.1 or so.

Anyways, I want to do this on all motor if possible, what else is there to do? Heads? If so, where and what is a good place to look for these? I know that I will probably be upgrading to a higher stall converter than my hughes 2500, maybe like a vig 2800 or Yank TT3000 to help get my 60's down, and might be looking for some ET Streets too thereafter.

Any advice or ideas will be welcome.

No, I have plenty of friends that are on the gas. I just really want to see what she'll do on the motor. I'm not saying that I will never giver nitrous, just playin around with the motor for now. Plus, I'm not going all out and getting stupid with it. This is still my daily driver, just looking for some advice is all.

Did you finally get the 02 situation figured out? I love mine. The headers really added a nice touch to the sound.

Yeah I Already Posted What Happened. I Had The Front O2 Plugged Into The Rear Plug On The Drivers Side. Yeah I Felt Like An Idiot. But The Front Plug Was Tucked Way Up In The Frame Rail With All That Other Crap. But Anyway Its Fixed And I Love It. It Sounds Awesome. Cant Wait To Get It To The Track To See What Kinda Gains. It Feels Alot Stronger In The Mid Range And Top End. When Are You Gonna Get To The Track?
