xmas in feb.

i just cant waite but i know patiences pays for itself in the long run.. i have ordered all my parts from the heads to the cam to the coverter to the trans to the rearend ( 373 gears ford aubrun pro series) even the headers and full exhaust, man i spent some dollars lol, well my wife gave me a choice either buy a new truck or rebiuld the one i have now, i said fine ,i rather rebiuld.. done deal... so i continue my spending looking for a ported tb 85mm more then likely and intake ( not in no hurry ) as of now.. would rather see the numbers on the stock before i continue .. anyway if theres a mod i am leaving out please by all means let me know yes i have a nelson tune.. and a CIA.. i will redo the block later on next year ... in 09 i will be giving this truck to my son and soon to purchase the 09 camaro ...


p.s. no2 is out of the question .....;)

trust me its passed through my mind several times. just wondering what the affects would be with the turbo and headers or would there be a heat problem under the hood.. or what would the gains be on all the mods with a turbo

by the way if i was to go turbo which would be the reccomended one

I would look at the Trick kit Allen sells. I saw it in person, and man that thing is sweet.

What about fuel pump & maybe injectors? I don&#39;t know what your cam is, so you might not need it.

Wider rear tires.

cam is a 224/226 if i am not mistaken havent gotten it in yet, have the walbro pump looking for 42 to 46 lb injectors.. as for tires i am looking at putting 20x10s on the back and 20x8.5s on the front and selling my 22 " tires and rims or i might just go with my other custom stock size rims and tires but prefer wider in the back

What size cam did you order? Yeah from what I&#39;ve heard and read, headers and turbos dont really mix well. I guess its because of the heat like you said.

cam size lol i think it was the 224/226 581/581/ lsa112 something like that i owuld have to check my laptop for all the specs i (we) spected out..

e-fans, Under Dive Pullies, synthetic blinker fluid

trick kit allen sells? hmm guess i&#39;ll have to call him and see what he has... as far as UDs yes eventually thats minor mod ( i think lol) as for efans i&#39;ll see what the mechanical fan puts out first for cooling as i have a transcooler and a 34 " already

since you ordered your headers already what about a radix.

i have more than headers ordered i ordered dynatechs with ORY pipes, heads, cam, yank 3000 stall, transmission, 373 auburn gears.. so forth.. gonna see what all this does then i&#39;ll see about a turbo or blower maybe, just did a search damn those things aint cheap..

damn man what are you rebuilding? sounds like you are starting over...lol

i keep telling my girl that, i am like "look i dont have a truck payment and the v6 is getting tired its bout time to buy the v8 swap stuff i need and go from there"... negotiations are not going well.. she seems to think i need to finsh school, buy a bigger house and all that crap first...lol

so we will see how it goes... sounds like a great start to your rebuilding...

i finished school ( college back in 88 or 89 lol)
bro dont rush it i am 40 years old home paid for truck paid for harley paid for boat =sold&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; well the wife will never be paid for. and only have one son at home 13 year old, all this is basically doing is giving him some insite or some type of hobby besides baseball, this is year round he reads and understands i have a 6.0 on a stand which he will biuld himself ....he will also earn the dollars to pay for it .. ..

oh yeah i took off those 22" rims and tires but my custom stockers back on and damn if theres not a big difference already...


i remember back in the day we had the wide back tires what was it 50s and smaller tires on front i figure i will bring this back dunno if i wanna go stock 16s or 20s but i would need a 10 width in the back with a 8.5 up front .. its gonna look and run awesome ( i hope ) when all said and done...

well i am 33, finished one degree and A&P back in 95, have a great job but I am going back to school to finish bach and masters. have 3 kids and a a drag race toy and operation already... you can never have too many toys... :)

my daughter (11) acts like she is interested in stuff but as soon as i start talking to her and trying to teach she is like ok i am gong inside to watch tv...lol and the boys are 5 and 6 so they want to learn just not old enough to retain really...

nothing wrong with that bro&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; always room to learn&#33;&#33;&#33; as for toys i have my fair share i have an older son 20 daughter 20 and a 19 yearold ( damn i feel old lmfao&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; when they were younger couldnt afford the good shit but now that 3 are gone oh well its time to play &#33;&#33;&#33;

headers would be useless if u went front mount from what i understand. talk to danny(sprayed9) about a radix. it should work well with all ur components that u have already ordered. :twocents:
