and it really makes me miss my camaro.. :cry: i need to get some go fast mods soon. :help:

here's my plan; if i stay with the 5.3(l59):
volant forced ram-air, pacesetter long tubes (ceram coated), comp cams xtreme rpm high lift [222/224 .566/.568 112lsa], fuddle 3000 stall, nelson tune, eaton differential w/ richmond 4.10's and a radix when my wallet permits.

if i do a build-up: either an lq9 408 stroker, or the ls1/ls2 402 stroker.. i'm leaning towards the ls1/ls2 seeing as it is a bit lighter being aluminum. but for $1000 less and 65 lbs of extra weight, an iron lq9 based stroker is very appealing over an ls2 motor, and is a direct bolt in unlike the ls2.

as for now, this is my daily driver.. i'd build the stroker over a period of 2yrs or so. money is tight right now and i'd like to go new on everything. maybe..... :laugh:

any suggestions/input?

The mods you listed for the 5.3 are great. Maybe we'll cross paths on 80 again and can wind 'em out a bit. :thumb:

Until you get the Radix anyway, then I'm out. :sad:

i'd damn sure would like to think i could take you, but everything in my truck is stock besides the exhaust.. and even the exhaust i had installed wasn't what i wanted.. :puke:

but, either of the options i have in my head are going to take a little sweat and tears and take a decent sized divot out of my spending allowance.. it's obviously going to be a few months/years before i'm satisfied. even then, who knows what i'll have cooking in the back of my head. :eek:

i'll be keeping an eye out for that truck though for sure! :cool:

It'll be the black blur going about 110.

Just kidding - I try to be good unless I run across someone who wants to get feisty. What time are you usually going by the Beltline exit?

haha :thumb:

it all depends on my day.. i usually try to only put out a 10hr day and get out of there by 3pm.. but summers are always the busiest time of the year for us, so it's been nearer to 4-5:30ish lately.
