That's awesome. I'll send that off in the morning.

 

Ok sweet thanks for the input Red and Jada and saving me a wasted purchase!!!

 

Hit up Hiprographics...they're on ebay and have a website also.
Based out of Long Beach, CA. but they quoted me $159 on the full set of stripes, and $25 for the windshield sticker.

 

I just sent them a message. I'll see what they can tell me.

 

Yeah, awesome 40 bones! thanks dude!

 

Can someone tell me if the Baer brakes are +1 or +2 Eradi-speeds?

Ignore...+2

 

anyone got an idea of how much a nelson performance tune would roughly (key word ROUGHLY) give me Hp/torque gain from my truck now?

Also do u think its worth putting in a comp cam and all those goodies on this 4.8L

AND ALSO, how much power putting into this 4.8L should i start being concerned at blow'n the thing up...

many questions, many questions...


plus any tips on cheap but effective ways to get the most power/et time for the drag strip? I have a very big bet going on with my father... Im running my truck against his 1994 impala SS... and i heard from some ppl that im screwed, and others that i should be able to stay with him going down the track or possibly drive right by him... many different stories, only 1 i want coming true... and thats to leave him eating my dust... TIPS are greatly appreciated... mind u, i've nvr dragged my truck yet since i got it 2 yrs ago...

 

silver - i hate to say it, but your gonna have some problems shifting that 5-speed over 3k rpms, try it on a road somewhere.

as far as weight goes you and him are pretty close

hp/tq - he has you there, your looking at roughly 240rwhp/240rwtq (stock) and i cant even guess what the impala is puttin down but i know his tq output is close to 100ftlbs more than yours.

i would say that if you put some money into a tranny that you can hotrod you would be putting your money into the right direction, then cam it, etc...

but thats my $.02

 

If I'm correct, those Impalas do low 14's high 13's stock... You MIGHT pull a low 16 high 15 as-is. Cam, Tune and Clutch put me in the mid 14s on a crappy track at high DA. Seems to me you're gonna need alot to just break even on him.

 

You could spray it....
