Default New Guy from Missouri

Hello everyone!

Joined this site for some ideas on modifying my TBI 350 in my 1990 c1500 . I have found some good information on this site so far! My truck is just my daily driver/tow-rig, but i love it and plan on doing even more to it over the next couple of years.


The truck is a 1990 Chevrolet silverado 350 - automatic - factory gray interior with power windows and locks from the factory as well.

Over the past few years i have replaced nearly everything on the truck from the brake system and all of the accessories, to the suspension components. Primarily just OEM replacements, but when replacing the valve seals i did add some 1.6:1 rocker arms from harland sharp.

On the suspension i currently have 2" springs in front and 4" shackles in the back with 1 leaf removed. I am looking to go a little lower with some 2" spindles in front ... but i am still unsure of what i need to get for the rear. Possibly a flip kit and then adjust it back up with the adjustable shackles till it sits even.

More mods are in the future, just some basic TBI upgrades and headers, and whatever i decide to use to go a little lower. Not really planning on towing too much in the future... i enjoy driving my car to the track, but if anything like that changes i may add some sort of manual helper bag in the rear for the times i want to tow.





and here is my car : 2000 FRC Corvette

Welcome! Yours sure looks better than my '89 RCLB. A decent TBI upgrade is a LT1. It does wonders for blowin up the stock 700r4.
Looks like magn. wheels on the FRC.
