Think we're going to fall short of my HP goals. So looks like im going turbo or blower in the near near future. Also gona be saving for a 4l80 swap and a new locker for the rear.

Ill be happy as a pig in chit to hit 400 wheel, found out the heads were untouched which kinda blows, but it should still make some power. She should be on the dyno as i type this so we'll see.

long tubes probably picked up some ponies. you could do a chip and maybe some intake work. not the heads necessarily. but maybe a new manifold and TB. the FAST LSXRT is the one i want and i know people who hae picked up 20+ hp and tq at the wheels from it alone on an otherwise stock motor. i would say bolt ons would get you close to 400. just i think your gonna loose alot between the flywheel and the wheels. the 60e and 80e suck up some power. and so will the tires since yours is prerunnered out like mine. i know i lost a fair amount and im running 33x12.5R15 BFG TA/KOs

Getting a full dyno and drive tune. TB is a Ported 90 mm. EGR deleted, 3" true duals from the collectors to the dumps. Zero emissions nonsense. Walbro 456 in tank and 40 pound Delphi injectors. LS6 cam for now, the lq4 is going out for a regrind. E fans should loosen up a few ponies as well. I may run a 91/e85 mix so we can up timing a bit. I also lost close to 150 pounds with the swap. So there's .000000001 sec in the 1320

Deavers are getting ordered as soon as I get her back to measure the mounting points. Those will stay on until I can afford fox 2.5 tripple bypass coil overs and links for the rear. Once I get some weapons made and sold she will be seeing some PSI as well. I cant decide between turbo or blower at this point bust most likely turbo to keep some MPG.

Shes 100% complete build wise. Just waiting on the dyno to free up then she comes home to daddy.

Ecu was retained in the stock location. Speed density tuned. Respectable numbers, she put down 330/340 through a build 4l65e on 35" tires.

I have a question. what exactly makes a truck a pre-runner? it seems like a term that i only hear from the west coast states.
