I want to hit low 11's in my turbo rcsb. That will take more practice at the strip, some tuning, and a good bit of weight reduction. I also want to start doing some color-matching and **** to make it look a little better.

For my lifted silverado, I want to finish the nitrous install and spray it into the 12's on the 37's and hopefully not break the 60E.

And then there's the TBSS. I need to finish up the tune, take it to the track at least once, give it a good detail job, and sell it. Hopefully to my parents...

Well I just recently got my cam installed. Swapped my 20s out for my winter 18s today and also got rid of my turn down since it had like 5 rust holes in it. Drones like a **** now but sounds better lol. Next project will probably be addressing the suspension some. Gonna get my drop keys and shackles done, probably some new shocks, maybe rear sway bar, and throw my helper bags in. After all that the trans and rear will get built then last thing to do is the turbo stuff.

My Trick kit is collecting dust. I need some 60lb injectors, put my aeromotive fuel pump in, I just ordered the SDPC HT1 cam for my 4.8, and yes I am going to throw boost at it, 10-12 lbs. My 4l80e is sitting in my garage, I need to put the shift kit in it, cross member is done, I have the Tunedbyfrost harness ready to go, and I need to install the trans cooler. I also need to buy my stall converter and flexplate. I work long hours building jet engines, and full time school, so im hesitant to tear it down right now, but I cant wait.

Currently in the middle of a shortblock rebuild out of necessity.
While it is apart, upgrading heads/cam cause I have been planning that for a while.
Also redoing the fuel system at the rails for better fueling and building a phenolic spacer for the Kenne Bell.

Get to tuning my new turbo set up and up the boost until my fuel pump is maxed. Then a dual pump set up with a -8 feed and -6 return.
