Man so far this is a great site. Just been looking around and looks :rock:
Got an '02 silvy 4.8L
Mods: 3.90 posi., thorly long tubes, HPP3, aem brute force, tb spacer, elect. fans, 9mm wires and +5plugs, cowl hood, small system, 2-4 drop.
Looking at this nelson tunning looks pretty good and maybe a cam and some heads soon.
Would like to know if anybody knows any tricks, or parts to make the 5spd in my truck work a little better
Thanks
Josh
Welcome :wave:
Nice to see a fellow 4.8L/5speed. :rock: Welcome to the site. What kind of times are you running???
No 5/speed here but I like seeing fellow 4.8s on the board...
Looks like your off to a awesome start with your truck. A nelson tune and new cam will definately improve your performance. You may even look into bigger injectors as well.
Welcome to the site! :wave:
Hey protruk are you having problems at wot with being able to shift into third gear. If I could ever get into third gear I should be mid high9's in 1/8 mile. That's with stock tires and lots of spin. Kinjo do ya think its time for injectors. I didn't think it was time for injectors til you got in the motor or s/c. By the way how did you like your nelson tune can you feel a difference in the pwr?
welcome, To the land of the 4.8L's :taunt: :laugh: :thumb:
Hey Letllered 4.8, Every once in awhile. It will grind going into 3rd. But I think that's more of a sincro problem. At the track 3rd is your money gear. You can feel it pulling hard on top end at high RPM :rock: .. These little motors don't have much torque. So to get a good 60ft. leave at the highest rpm you can. Without spinning the tires :burnout: And not bogging the motor. Walk the fine line!
I think the best mods would be: Long tube headers
good cam
computer tune
The best tires you can find. This is what helped me the most.
PM me if you have ?'s :thumb:
Got the long tubes they are thorley tri y's. Looking at a tune next then later a cam nothing major tho its my daily. What kinda times ru running? I've got a decent 60ft cuse of the gear but could use some better tire for sure. Think my 60 was 2 or 2.2 can't remember stopped dragstriping after the tranny started acting up.
Welcome aboard. :nx:
welcome on dude. :nx: :taunt:
