Default Hey Everyone!

My name is Greg,

I just recently traded my honda for a 2002 Chevy Silverado...2 door..short wheel base...4.8L vortec V8...and its been the best decision i have made in awhile..LOL. Ill list everything thats been done to it and see what everyone thinks.


Engine:

K & N intake system:

PowerAid throttle body spacer:

throttle body coolant bypass...freebie!:

Full length headers...with 40 series Flowmasters...turn downs before axle..sounds mean!:

according to an HP Tuners scan...it has been performance tuned...there is always more you can do though:


Transmission:

B & M shift kit in stock 4L60...i think...havent been inside to varify...it seems pretty stout though...it breaks loose from 1st-2nd gear..and it barks going into 3rd...not bad!

Tow/Haul package:



Exterior:

Pewter in color...w/chrome grill..and paint matched front bumper...paint matched front bowtie..paint matched door and tailgate handles:

it has a 2" lowering kit on it and it has a nice stance..i think anyways:


it has 16"x10" Chrome crusier alloy wheels with BFgoodrich tires 295/55/16:

just installed 5.9K HID headlight bulbs...not bright enough for me..getting the 8K's soon.

custom LED bar brake light:




Interior:

White faced gauges:

Full !JBL stereo system which consists of 3 8" subwoofers in custom box built by me...a GTO601.1 600 watt RMS amplifier for the subs....about to install !JBL components... 6 1/2 components in the front with 1" Dome tweeters mounted on the front pillars...4x6 components in the rear..powered by a !JBL GTO75.4ll amplifier...i have a kenwood head unit at the moment but the ALPINE is coming soon!

rest of interior is stock.


overall its a nice truck...let me know what yall think...and maybe give me some ideas on what i should do to it next...mainly performance ideas...thanks.

Welcome to the site...a cam kit might cost you a bit more unless you find a deal in the parts classifieds section
