ok guys just siting here bored and the thought poped in my head so im gona throw it out there


if you guys was me what would you do with your income tax money to improve the trucks performance??

02 rcsb GMC sierra with a stock 5.3, has custom dual exhaust 2.5" from cats to a y with 3 inch running into a 1 in 2 out flowmaster with 2.5" exiting out the back, vette servo, shift kit, 4.11 gears, volant ram air system.

im guessing after paying a few bills i have off i'll have around 1800 to play with. so lets hear yalls suggestions

 

Tuning options: custom dyno, mail order or buy the software and learn it yourself.

What are your goals for the truck? A nitrous kit will run you ~1K for all the bells/whistles.

 

For $1800 - headers (these are a must) and a full nitrous system from HSW with all the safety goodies.

 

ehhh wasnt really wanting to go with nitrous, was thinking of a blackbear mail order tune , and ummmm im HOPING to get in the low 12's or high 11's one day

 

better re-think that nitrous or save up some big $

 

lol yea, like i said thats a one day hope, i was thinking with a good cam good tune, some LT's a 3000 stall and some mickey thompsons i should be in the mid-low 13's right? or would i need to port and polish my heads? im thinking of geting the 243 heads but not sure if itd be better to get mine ported and polished

 

Good cam/tune/converter/slics should get you close, yes. I wouldn't think of head work until all other bolt ons were done.

 

anyone else got any more ideas? its geting closer to feb oh and i finally got my truck tuned by Efi Alchemy so thats more money for something else , remember, im guessing around $1800 to play with, and not really wanting to go with nitrous

 

Ya, could add in any mix of parts listed or to be later listed. You did say u wanna run in 12s or 11s one day. Depending on job security & bills...sit on the $. Do a little tweak that will be foundation for future growth & u don't have to take off down the road. That's if u need to satisfy an immediate itch.

Continue savin & when the time is right, pounce on a Maggie or Trick (or whatever turbo brand/vendor u like).

 

comp thumper cam, 50 hp dry shot, 36 or 42 lbs injectors, and update the tune
