Default New Vortecmax owner....

I just bought a 2006 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Votecmax. Its an SLT with everything including a sunroof. I needed a tow vehicle for the Trans Am and decided to take advantage of the 0% for 72 months GMAC had....The truck is White with a Tan interior and has Chrome 20's and a Chrome Grille....I love it.

I hate to do it but now I am going to sell the ZO6. Having one car to mod is bad but three is out of control.

So if anyone wants a 2004 ZO6 Commemorative Edition pm me....if not its going on Auto trader...ughh

I'll try to post up picks of the Truck later.

DUDE WTF!!!!!! I cant believe you did that!!! If I could I would buy that car in a heartbeat. Amy would leave me though . Ive got the STS basically pieced together so when are we putting it on?? I cant wait to see it. You going to mod it?? At least the nitrous from the Z06 right . Started lifting weights a week ago and things are going awesome. Let me know when you have time off and I will plan a day off to get as much as I can done before you come over.

I dont see me modding the Truck right now. I need all my pennies for the 408/turbo build up on the Trans Am. I am basically redoing everything on the car. I figure 20K is light on what I'm going to spend...we'll see.

Troy I'll give you a call about the STS install....

Seems like that velocity tube may help with low end power.
Does anyone know why this is different?

I think it is for sound dampening. I have seen that before.
