ok well i took alot of advice of the thread bout my 1st truck.....i really want to thank all the people who took time and gave me their .02 and cleared some stuff up......i just recently sold the 20's and i am lookin at some 96 impala ss 17's......i also started removing moldings and badges..and i just got my shave tailgate kit.....so im going for the racing smooth look.....but i dont know wat 2 do as far as the engine....i mean i want to do so much but im only 17 and money is an issue....for now i want to get a good response to me stepping on the gas and just feeling some power....right now the truck is bone stock except for the turn down flowmaster delta 44 series i put on it....any ideas everyiting will be considered

 

Get a nice tune first wheatley on the side here >

 

ok yeah i just read up on their site.....so is there tunes any good sounds good and cheap.....and bout prox how much hp gain will i get doing this

 

All depends what you've done to the truck. Suggestion is get a few mods done, then get a tune, get a few more done and get another tune. E-mail Charlie...

 

ok well so far i have only put on a flowmaster but just got a borla for it jus waiting to get it put on.....so wat would u recomend me get b4 my 1st tune

 

You can get some long tube headers for the 350's for fairly cheap. That and ORY into your new muffler would make it sound awsome. Bolt ons like pullies, CAI, custom port your own throttle body. Jus tmy .02.

BTW im 17 too, and wishing I had a body style truck like yours with a 350. THe money I spent on my truck, I could have put a nice size cam in there, some comp heads, and a converter. Also would have gotten some Z06 rims to put on it too with a hot rod drop Still thinking of selling my truck, and getting me a RCSB low miles 97 silvy.

 

Can you learn how to type proper please?


But anyways, basic mods like intake and exhaust are usually done first, then usually headers. The more stuff you have done, the better the results of the tune will be. Tuning a stock truck doesn't make that much of a difference besides better shift points, and no top speed limiter. You can get away with doing intake and exhaust and some other things before a tune, but if you decide to go with longtube headers or anything more serious then that, a tune will really make a difference and in some cases is almost necessary. I hope you have a good job, modding trucks is expensive

 

Was hasn't anyone mentioned e-fans? Those are relatively inexpensive and you can get the wiring harness from Nelson.

 

im going for the headers first and then i will get the FIPK K&N intake system.....and then mayb e fans....i have heard good thing but then at the same time i have heard bad things such as them going out and truck overheating fast....then i will go for the tune....oh btw wat is an ORY....

 

ORY= off road y pipe

I would do all the bolt ons you could afford before a tune but even if you cant do alot of boltons now a tune will still feel like your driving a different truck.

As far as which tuner there a few sponsors for mail order tunes you may even want to see if theres a local shop that tunes. IMO a real time tune beats a mail order tune.

I have had e-fans for a little bit now and have not had one issue but i have heard that some have issues.
