Default Inside need advice??

Ok heres the deal-im thinking of trading my truck the 2004 VHO and getting a reg cab silverado and puttingthe radix and headers on the reg cab. It would be a 5.3. What do you guys think?? Is it stupid to go from an extended cab to a reg cab?

All depends if you need the room or not. I have a rcsb 5.3 with a radix...and I love it. It just has a more sporty look to it!

6.0 has more power potential, but more weight as well. I would just ask myself how important the extra space of an extended cab. A reg cab can probably be built to be faster even with the 5.3. If you dont need the room and want to faster without dishing out more cash for mods, step to 5.3 rc.

Well fellows im keeping the Pimperado and getting the stockconverter reinstalled!! Also my exhasut is loose so that will be redone as well and a new set of spark plugs,wires will be installed as well. And to top it all off will be a smaller pulley for the Radix!!!!!!!! See how long the tranny will hang with 10+lbs of boost!!
