My bro is wanting to mod his truck and asked me for help deciding what to do. He has an 06 vortec max LQ9 ECSB with 4.10s, intake, exhuast, efans, and HPTuners. He daily drives his truck and wants to maintain good drivability but wants 13's in the 1/4. I told him cam, stall, and longtubes would get him there but he can only afford 2 of the 3. Which two would give him the best times?

Also what cam choice should he get out of a 212 218 high lift, 220 220 high lift, 224 224, or a 228 230?

I was leaning toward cam and converter but he already has traction problems and a converter might make it worse.

 

228 230 cam and longtubes

 

I was going to say send me the $ and buy no mods, he'll save more in the long run....


you know as well as any that it is just a start, cam and converter are great but without headers something is left on the table so on and so on.

What about a good nitrous kit with all the bells & whistles?

 

if it has 243sor317s ill trade him my 317s i have in the f/s section and some boot of course

a good cam runs around 250-300 on here from time to time and he can probly have enough for some pacesetters

 

i agree. nitrous is the cheapest real power you will ever buy, and he can set to spray whenever he finally hooks up.

 

i take back my first post..cam and my nitrous kit would be faster than cam and headers..470 shipped for my complete nitrous kit with msd digital window switch

 

with my heads and a cheap cam thatll run good

 

Nitrous was my first recommendation but I forgot to post that he wants the power full time, not just when the bottle is full.

 

dang so he needs to get my heads lol there great they just flow way to much for my 5.0 rotating assembly

 

errr..bacck to my first suggestion then..cam and longtubes..tell him bout the nitrous though and see if he will change his mind..
