Well this time I did things in reverse compared to the silverado. Before long she will be all go no show. I got a kb racing t78 intercooled turbo kit on the way, 4:56 gears, and the parts I need to complete my vette t56 swap. Now the only thing I have done as far as show is a complete debadge (except door moldings) and I have the windows tinted, 2.25" leveling kit. Any suggestions what I should do next?

 

get the door handles and the tailgate handles painted maybe even the mirrors

 

I say just do some color matching and leave it at that... Who's gonna expect the truck to have a t78 under the hood if you leave it stockish looking???

 

4:56s are not a little tall for a turbo set up?

 

+1..sorta

I am in the same boat, do I want to do a lot to the outside to draw attention or just leave it clean and stock looking and enjoy peoples reactions when I get on it.



I think color matching is a really nice way to make a stock truck look even better without people wondering whats under the hood

 

Those 4.56's are going to be too much for the turbo. Your better off with shorter gears.


Nice truck though! I love the NNBS single cabs

 

Colormatch for sure and maybe some Denali wheels.

Are you doing a T56 and keeping 4 wheel drive?

 

Wont he need those 4.56s if he does the T56 swap?

 

I agree on the 4.56 mayb like a 3.73? Buddies has a pt88 and 80e with 3.42s

 

thats exactly the point, i want a better looking truck but I dont want to go over the top and get away from the sleeper look, the reason for the 4:56 is when I switch out the 80e for the t56, t56 first gear is 2.97 and the 80e is 4.02, 2nd and 3rd gears are similarly spaced between the two. And yes Im doing a 4wd t56, pictures will be posted when its rigged up
