Default Newb to This Forum

Crazy forum user since mid 90's though LOL.

Anyway - made my way here searching for a little more for my Daily Driver and tow rig.

Have a build thread on SilveradoSierra and have quite a bit of wrench time on many different cars so not a newb, but as that aspect, I like to do hella research before i put the wrench time in the rig. Here is a basis of what I have done now.


What is it: 2007 Silverado LT Crew Cab Short Box 4.8 with the Bench seat in front

What's done:

Outside/Suspension
Pro-Comp 6 Inch lift + Bilstein 5100's to 1.2 =~7.2"
Rear is Spacer, AAL, and soon Shackles
MB 20x10 Rims
325/60/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers - 35.6 inches tall
Tint
VentVisors
Rhino Lining over the rail
Fender Flares with the Fake Bolts - never been a fan but Really like them on this Truck
Recently Debadged

Engine:
AFe Intake
Dual Exhaust with 18 Inch Magnaflow
Fitch Fuel Catalyst
More to come

Interior
DIC install
JVC Dual Din Headunit - BT and HD Radio

Other things done fairly recently:
Husky Liners - Black
10" under rear seat Box
Pioneer 10"
Planet Audio 75.2 Amp - will be running Bridged on the 10"
Sound Ordinance Component 6.5 for Front
Sound Ordinance 2 way 6.5 for the rear
Predator Trinity Tuner
Uniden CB and Wilson antenna

To Do List: No particular Order
Re-Gear currently 3.42's - Looking at 4.56's or 4.88's
Want a Cap for the Rear as I have big dog and I don't like him up front with me, he has jumped out a few times of the bed and I do alot of surfing, so would be nice to keep the board i nthe back without worrying about it.
Longtubes and Y - Probably just Pacesetter but had issues with Welds on a set of pacesetters WAY back in the early 90's so we'll see if they get my business again.
Neoprene Seat Covers - Front and Rear - Before Spring as i'm a surfer and will need these
TVS Blower hopefully 1.9 but going to buy it used
6.0 Heads
Custom Grind Cam
Custom Tune once most is done - Hence the Predator Trinity over all other tuners...

As she sits right now as well - yes since the debadge I have not cut the paint nore have I claybared or waxed so looks like crap right now wiht Ghost letters everywhere.

i think you already have as good or better heads than the 6.0 so that would be a waste of money.

Thanks guys - as for the 6.0 heads and the 4.8 heads I'm not sure - guess I will look further into it. Heads and Cams are a reseaarch more and then maybe do it decision. Gears, Headers, Y-pipe will be first and Honestly - after those things are done I may not need to mess with heads, just the TVS or Whipple may do me good as this truck has a TON up top for me, but down low needs just a bit more, it is the tow rig you know

I am considering cleaning out all the other vehilcles and just modding/fixing up the truck for a few years as I want to use my current house as a rental and get a bigger house and boat, then maybe look for a classic to start rebuilding I think the truck and the tinkering on it can keep me happy enough
