I changed the oil a few times...oh, yeah filled it with gas a few times, filled up the windshield washer fluid, wrecked it and fixed it, installed nitrous, gauges, eaton/gears, washed and waxed it, bought some 20" ss wheels, new tahoe grille, installed then removed some inserts, painted front end pieces, installed the racing seats, filled up the nitrous bottle a few times...that's about it I guess.

since January:

Installed STS base kit with Nelson PCM.

On month later....smoked up my 4l60!!!!

Had the 4l60 rebuilt and reinstalled with new Nelson tune, Installed my boost gauge.

Installed a new bed cover after the first one got ripped off!!

Changed some of the STS oil return plumbing to hard line, put on a new boost reference line to the intake.

Installed an Eaton Posi rear end.

New Nelson tune with more low end tuning.

Removed my spare tire and trailer hitch package, lowered the rear 2" and the front 1".

Cut out my stock grill horizontal bars.

Installed 44lb hr injectors and new Nelson tune.

Bought and am currently installing an STS 2 stage electrionic controller.

Bought a fuel pressure and oil temp gauge along with a triple pillar pod to be installed after the boost controllers done.

I think thats it.
After all this is done I hope to get going on my intercooler set-up.

One thing at a time for me.
