Sweet truck...but that reciever on the roof needs to go

 

The reciever is for XM. I actually like it.
The mirrors are stock and painted, and so are the door handles, and i believe part of the front bumper.

I was looking at some wheels last night, and i really like a couple of the Bonspeed wheels. They are forged just like the centerlines....but those centerline tomahawk 2's i think they are called are damn nice also.
Anyone actually know how much like a 20in wheel like those weigh?

As far as the 4in exhaust, i already had a 4ft piece of 4in pipe and a flowmaster 3in to 4in merge collector sitting that i was gonna use on the formula i had.... but since its just sitting there and would mount up nicely with long tubes and orp...so i am gonna use it with a 4in spintech muffler and dump it before the axle.
I basically plan to get headers and a custom speced cam. The 4in exhaust wont hurt anything...but it will sound damn good. you'll see

 

actually the 4in. exhaust will take away from your lower end quite a bit and you'll max out the truck intake manifold before youll need a 4in exhaust unless you plan on a huge turbo

 

4" Exhaust + 4.8 = . Clean lookin truck but the 4 in exhaust will kill you low end torque as stated above. Even long tubes on a 4.8 will really only provide a minimal improvement, but thats only after your cam swap.

 

nice looking truck.

 

Overall plan is to get my buddies ls6 motor and procharge it.
4in exhaust will be fine...either way...even if its on a 4.8. Some of you guys disagreeing with it makes me want to do it even more...lol
I have personally seen gains on dynos with 4in exhaust...a little down low was sacrificed...but who races down low anyways?

 

When you race from a dig on a sotck stall with heavy wheels and a little 4.8 ....


You may want to listen to the guys on here, we have been there done that, so-to-speak, you arent driving a 3400# car anymore

 

very true.....
whats the average on most RCSB as far as weight anyways? What i looked up was about 3900ish.

 

I wouldn't put any money into the motor. Save it and throw it into other spots like the new motor, tranny or rear-end. I'm just glad to see another great looking truck on the coast.

BTW:this is Redgmc from Gulf Coast Muscle.

 

Looks Great going to be hard to replace the formula!!! Definatlly miss seeing that beast, nice replacement ride though.

oh and the average weight is quite a bit more that 3900.... I think most rcsb 4400
