03 1500 build thread......
Regular cab short bed
red
5.3 liter
4l60
342 gear
99,000 miles My wife drove this truck since it was pretty much new. Back and forth to work was about it. She has gotten a newer vehicle so now this has become another of my little projects.
Now its retired from regular duty and i get to have a fun truck again. I have always had fast trucks and was starting to really wish i had another one.

Modded stock air box....free...just basically cut out as much of the front possible
bypassed throttle body coolant passage....free
tuning with efi live.....free for me since i already bought this to tune my duramax
made 246 peak hp but the power under peak was improved dramatically. Some places as much as 30 hp.

The trans was just a little lazy in the shifts. Gonna put a shift kit in it and i think it will last a little longer with a nice firm shift. I have upped the pressure just a little and that definately helped but i think it needs a firmer shift.

i dont think the trans is going to hold on nitrous. i have seen people go 12 with a stock trans that for n/a. i would say get a gear what a difference, i just put my 4.10 the other day you wont be disappointed.
