I have a 99 rcsb 5.3. So far, I have small bolt ons. I am going to upgrade soon, but I have to do this in stages, as money permits. I'm still in college so money is tight. I'm already eating Ramen and canned tuna 3 times a day, but if I buy the knock off Safeway tuna and "raman" I can knock this out in a couple months.

Cam - Thunder Racing 220/220 112 or 114lsa. I have emissions every 2 years and the TR webite said 114 is the way to go to remain compliant. All they do here is look under the hood, and plug into the connector under the dash.

When I get the cam, I need a new tune. Can I run this cam for a while without the new tune or should both be purchased at the same time?

To compliment the new cam I will need a higher stall. I was going to get a yank TT3000.
While near the tranny, I figured shift kit and vette servos.

I also need some headers. Everything I have read on here says LT or nothing. I haven't done much research into this, but I will get a set, I just dont know which ones yet.

One other thing. I had the 99 pcm upgraded to an 02 and I need some new injectors. Should I go with the stock 00+ 24lb/hr or something bigger?

The only thing I may do after this is a little nitrous maybe a 50 shot, but most likely not.

What order should I do this in? Anything I am missing?

 

Injectors (wont you have to tune for them?) , headers, TC and Transgo, Cam andTune with cam.

 

go with

stall
cam+tune
injectors if you NEED them
tune
headers
tune
BTW, if you are eating tune and ramen 3x/day, and you plan to knock those off, what are you going to eat?

 

i would go
headers
cam tune
stall

 

i would go cam, tune, and eggos.

 

I need the injectors as my 02 pcm is tuned for them. Will I need larger injectors with this setup i have planned?

I am eating name brand Ramen and Bumble Bee Tuna. I will switch to the no name stuff soon. Also, eggos are way out of my league.

I did consider switching to vegetarian diet and just stealing the stuff from my neighbors gardens.

 

BUT IF YOU GO THIS WAY THEN U WILL HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON TUNING 3 TIMES

 

you shouldn't need injectors

 

not if you get a decent tune the first time, free updates. i.e. nelson tune

 

I think I am going to get the stall first. I just bought 24lb/hr injectors here for $65, the e-fans should arrive next week.
How will my truck drive with a 3000 stall? Also, I am going to order up the transgo and servos tonight. I will have all of this in soon, so should I have the tune next?
I think getting a tune would be a good idea soon as I will have that out of the way and it will be free to tune for new stuff in the future.
What do you guys think?
