Default New from Vegas

Whats up guys.
Wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Josh.
Me and my sons have been looking around on this site for a couple of years, and for some reason I just now joined.
Don't have anything to put up here.
But my project/daily is a 96 Chevy ECSB.
What i would like to do to her is possibly a 6.0 swap with a turbo.
Haven't really made my mind yet.
Currently it has a Flowmaster 50 dumped a foot after the muffler and a Hypertech max energy.
Not too impressed with the hypertech though.
Would a custom tune do anything for a basically stock truck?

Looking for something smaller.
The wheels feel like they took a ton of performance away.
Not worth it for the look.

Welcome to PT!

Yes those wheels are definately hurting your performance. Get something lighter on there, and a custom tune. That's a good starting point.

Thanks for the help guys.
Since you already know it has 24's, might as well show it.
And maybe you guys can recommend something that will look good on it.
Go easy me.
