will a dynamax bullet get rid of MOST of the rasp and quieten it down some. sounding like a harley was fun for the first couple miles but it gets too much attention.

Hey TX, with my factory manifolds, replacement cats (the straight pipe kind ) and my Magnaflow, I had way too much rasp. It was ran out the side in front of the pass tire. I added a bullet, and ran it to the rear and dumped it behind the rear tire, and it took care of all the rasp (at least with the cut out closed lol) Anyway, I think it would probably fix your problem.

Are you going to do a LS1 swap? I think that would be cool. I've been wanting to get another '72 Chevelle and do a LQ9, 4L80E swap. I've got to pay off some bills, my truck, and get a house too. LOL. Good luck bro!

I actually think that I want to build the stock LT1. Hell, its only got 60K miles on it. Just gettin broken in. And my mom has driven it so, it hasn't been driven hard at all. About 45-50K of it all highway miles.

I know its going to get full bolt-ons, headers, gears, a little suspension drop, tranny work with a new converter, heads, and a cam. Hope to roll on 18" chrome Torq Thrust Wheels, and Nitto DR's in the back. All eventually leading up, once I get the Z71 paid of, to slapping in a D1SC Procharger.

Body is really clean, but will need a few little touchups, just a few door dings and rock chips on the hood. But won't take much to make it perfect.

I can't wait. We're going to look at a few houses tonight after work. lol.

i got a helluva deal on a brand new 4l60e so i went that route for 1100 installed. had the mechanic install a trailblazer stall and here soon he will be putting in a vette servo for me. i will probably take the truck up to SA over the summer for JAG performance to install a shiftkit and seperator plate. hopefully that will make it hold up a lil better

I highly suggest the zinc seperator plate man. I had one put in my GMC at just under 20,000 miles. The stock seperator plate was already starting to show pretty good signs of wear and didn't look good.

If you do go up there for the shift kit, make sure if you don't want the shifts too harsh, you tell him, mine were pretty stiff.
