Default New guy, little truck

Hey all, I'm Karlen and I've got a 2004 Colorado that I've swapped. Been told to look around here for good motor advice. I'll be snooping around for cam threads..

And here's the turd. A week or two shy of two months for the swap to be completed. I'll pull it apart this winter for making it pretty, but for now it works and it's nice out so I'm going to drive it.

2004 Regular cab work truck Colorado
LM7 with pacesetter longtubes, y pipe, borla xr1 dumped
T56 TDP stage 2, diamond stage 2 clutch

I apologize in advance if the picture sizes are dicked up.

Motor out


Motor in


Slight firewall "modification"


Longtubes




Lowered, Titans on. Frame gets notched sometime within the next month.


Having fun with a friends third gen

I wasn't aware I could stall a T56...

Got out to the track Friday night, but my $20 Goodyear RSA's won't hold on launch or 2nd gear.

But, but, but, I love you?

Btw, leaning TSP 220 now. Friend here has a TSP 224 in his RCSB and he's saying it's a bit much for his truck. :/

Slicks and a good shot of gas. You need to be running those 6.30's (1/8th) that the right lane ran, in that last slip. I was running 9.30's (1/8th) on street tires @ 18 psi., the smallest shot of NX I had, and a 2.8L.

100 shot or so is something I have considered.
