Default I've Crossed Over to the Dark Side

I've converted from a Ford Owner to a Chevy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> . Traded in my '00 Mustang GT(Very Fast.....100 Shot of Giggle Juice and other crap) in for a '03 Z71 Sportside. I love this friggin truck, finally a LS1 owner <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . Got a hell of a deal on it too.....Gotta love 0% <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Already had some dealer added stuff like Gibson Exhaust, Billet Grill, K&N, and Nerf Bars.I ditch the K&N and put on a K&N FIPK

Welcome. You'd be suprised how much these trucks like the nitrous. Hope you still have the bottle. My first ever 1/4 mile run was against a new mustang GT, I posted a 13.9 against his 14.2. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Nice truck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> . Hope you enjoy it I know I have mine. What's your plans for it?

I'm thinking with that body style ,and being that it's a Z that you should knock off some pretty good times. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Nice truck! That new front end is starting to grow on me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Oh, and welcome to the site. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I think a torque converter and ATI Procharger would make for a nice combination. Don't forget the exhaust though if you throw a supercharger on there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
