alright guys im bout to be buying a newer truck proly an 05 or 06 extcab 2wd chevy. this truck is goin to be my DD and im wanting to get more poneys out of it. im wanting it to have around 350 to 400HP. So wat size cam and stall will i need. and tell me wat other bolt ons i would need to acheive the HP increase i want! i have $3500 to spend on the motor so let me know wat i can do with that!!

 

Turbo

 

Cam ( Texas Speed 224 ), Yank 3200 stall, Pacesetter headders, Cold Air intake, exhaust and of course tune the thing. You should easly get 350+ HP at the crank. You will still have money left over too.

 

so could someone explain to me wat the stall converter actually does?

 

Well, it multiplies torque. It also lets you launch at a high RPM, keeping your motor in it's power curve. And with a long duration cam, it lets the motor idel in drive with out stalling the motor out.

 

are you running stock trans 4L60e?, and what gears are on the rear end?

Think about a Transgo Shift kit too...if you're going to leave the stock trans in.

 

used tvs1900 and boltons

 

I would start off with a trans and rear end but I doubt you'll do that.

 

Im with him i'd start with the trans and rear end. Then a cam converter an a tune

 

There's so many things to do, it's hard to pick what to do first and what order to put everything in. Cuz you want more power right away, but then everything starts braking, then you just fix whatever brakes in that order lol. It'd be nice to just start with a big big chuck of change to just do everything at the same time, blower/turbo, cam, heads, tranny, and rear end. Then he'll have traction issues and need slicks and traction bars. There's alot to consider, think about what you really want, and how reliable you want it. My tranny last 2 months after my cam swap. Then about a half a year later I broke an axle. And it's been fun, and expensive!
