Yeah it'll be a custom grind from BTR, no headers in my future, hence the large exhaust duration.

So I'm waiting on a call from BTR, apparently you cannot call them and just order a cam over the phone. You now have to pay $20 for a pdf sheet to fill out and then email back to them. Then they will call you and talk. So yeah...

Good looking truck, makes me miss my 03 Z-71. The new grill and hood made a huge difference for sure. As for the cam, give Martin @ Tick a call. I've been e-mailing and talking to him on the phone back and forth for almost a month now going over different scenarios and what not for my turbo build and cam selection and there's no charge for the specs sheet to fill out for a custom cam recommendation. Been a great experience so far.

Alright, so the cam was ordered this morning. Should take about two weeks to get here.

Next on the list is

7.4 pushrods
LS6 springs
AEM Wideband

I still have to figure out what I will do for tuning. Currently I have a blackbear tune, and I've been begging him to make a trip to Boston this summer so I could have him do it. But if he doesn't make the trip, then I'm kinda outta luck.

Yeah, he's an animal. Never uses a mask, just closes eyes.

Yea no thanks. I woke up at 3am one night with a sunburn on my corneas just from being too close to somebody else welding without even looking at the arc. It only took once for me to learn my lesson on that one.
