Hey guys, ive been doing a fair amount of searching, and wanted to get some opinions on this. Mods to the truck are
Tranny:
Servos 2nd and 4th, TRans GoHD2, Zincplate and alimunum accum pistons
2600 stall
Motor
Air intake, Headers, xpipe, dual flows, Comp 212/218 cam 918 springs
tb spacer, Dual efans, custom dyno tune
99 5.3rcsb...with stock g80(for now)
Future mods:
Boost of some sort...gonna piece together a turbo kit probably, and a locking rear end
Now Dry or Wet...Seems to be people are saying WET if your gonna mod heavily, but for what reason? Im not worries about $$ variations just facts....I can get NX, NOS, edlebrock, Zex, and Venom for cost on ym account.....Just use there LS1/Lt1 kits? any info would be great
Again, thanks for the opinions...

Really depends on what size shot you're going to run. As Nick said, you start to depend heavily on the injectors on the larger dry shots, and from the looks of your mods, you probably don't have alot left to spare. I'd go wet
