Project Infinity
I call this Project Infinity, mostly because it will take me ages to get where I want it to be, just because I'm still in school and only work a part-time job.
2004 GMC Sierra SLE Extended Cab 2WD
5.3 4L60E
Here's when I first got her:

Bought her with 140k miles, magnaflow exhaust and K&N CAI. It ran a 15.3 in the 1/4.
Took all the useless crap off and debadged her next:

2" shackle and painted the reflectors in the headlights:

Headlights stained soon after, so I bought new ones:

Added a Hypertech programmer, and bought me a set of track wheels and tires..

With the hypertech it ran constant 15.1's... After a getting some recommendations got a tune from a buddy and it ran a best of 15.01's
FUTURE PLANS:
Engine/Trans:
224/Z06 Cam
3200 stall
4.10 gears
Trans cooler
Efans
LT's
Exterior:
Cowl Hood
Colormatched
2/4 Drop
Roll pan
and hoping to bring the truck to a 13.9 or extremely low 14 second pass..

Now just need to find time to install the headers... Probably wednesday.. any tips for the install?
-
you need to get a nelson tune, i shaved 6 tenths off my 1/4 mile by just calling him up, tips for long tube install, jack the truck a mile off the ground and go from underneath.
-
I do have a tune from somebody.. but id rather first focus on getting parts before I get a nelson tune..
-
Got a new set of rubbers on the truck! Going from 0.000001% tread to 100% tread, and wow this thing hooks and leaves damn fast!
went from a 255 70r16 to a 265 70 r16

Well, my headers are on!
It was pretty easy to get the old ones off, just a PITA.. I got my muffler off, and thought it would be easy the rest of the way.. got to the Y-pipe and 4 bolts out of 6 stripped.. so I went to the next thing and started on the manifold bolts.. I went to feel how loose they are and found out that the back bolts on both sides have already been snapped off.. so I was a little mad.. all the others came out like butter thanks to 2 1/2 days of PB Blaster. Went under the truck again to cut the y-pipe so I could pull them out. Installed the new headers and ORY. Everything slipped on nice, except the muffler, so I was running around with just a ORY for 1 1/2 days, it was a PITA, lol.. EVERYTHING was rattling inside the truck.. Muffler is now on with 3" piping all the way back and it sounds AMAZING, a little quieter than my old set up but like I said, it sounds amazing.. Also got the Service air bag light while putting the headers in because I pulled the steering column intermediate shaft and the steering wheel wasn't secured and spun a few times and snapped the clockspring..
Here's a little video of how it sounds right now... I'll get one of a few revs later..

Some sparkplug carnage from pulling the headers out, lol..

In total, the header install took about 6 hours with all the problems we ran into..

looks good bro, glad you got it all bolted up! holler at me when you decide to do a cam swap!
-
Dropped the grill, roll pan, and some under hood stuff off at my buddys to get painted... this thing is gonna look sexy as f*ck!
What would you guys do with my grill? I can't decide if I want to keep the stock insert and put a silver emblem on it, or get another billet insert..
