Default 03 getting a few upgrades.

Well the test truck is getting a few upgrades.
14bolt posi 4.10 gears
4l80
3200 stall
Bigger fuel pump.
New hood.
Drop spindles in the front
Drop springs and brackets in the rear.
Interior swap to buckets. Like the look better.
New T6 turbo build for the 4.8L.
New Trick spool valve "should be interesting". Hopefully don't run out of energy to do the cam swap.

Sweet! I love me a Red RSCB!

What are the overall goals for the truck? Or just use it to test your products?

It is my test truck. So can't go Wild.
I'd be happy on the 500-650 range.
So it stays together and I can enjoy driving it around.

New wheels and tires.
4l80 swap seems to be working.
Now finish up its turbo kit.
Then back on the road it goes.

Good looking wheels. Are you going to remove the scratch molding on the doors?

Yes they will be removed.

I recently got an AMD hood for my 03 SS and the paint guy told me that it was the easiest aftermarket hood to get ready for paint that he has worked on.

You probably don't need the link but just in case;
