Im ready to change my jba shorties for some ceramic coated Pacesetters Longtubes and ORY pipe.. Can some of you hook me up with a link where I can buy the headers at? trying to find the cheapest place.. I would appreciate that a lot! Is the ceramic coated worth the money?
Here you go. Pacesetter 2WD/4WD Truck Headers & Off Road Y Pipe
I would still wrap them with header wrap.
thanks bud! are they ceramic coated? it doesnt say anything about that...
they say.. pipe for 99-04 truck.. would they fit my truck 06??
yeah they are ceramic and yeah they will fit mine is an 06
murdered outgmc, what gains you notice from the LT's, once i pay off the 1g i owe its my next mod
yeah.. same question.. what gains you got from LT's? is it ORY pipe worth the money?
well with all the matching components like a cam and tune the supposedly add about 30 horses i dont know how much it would gain with just adding long tubes if you pay more than 420$ for PAINTED LT AND ORY youre paying to much buddy just got some LTs for his SS and paid like 190 for em i paid 420 for my LTs and ORY just a guess probably 15-20 horses get a tune and a cam and really put'em to use.
how does your truck idle with that cam bud? pretty rough? nice gains? planning on getting a cam..
I gained 82 (259rwhp--341rwhp) horses over stock power with a cam, LTs, and a nelson tune. Its really not that rough i dont think i freagin love it here just click on this.Quote:

OMG that sounds awesome! pretty loud.. do you have cutouts or whats your exhaust setup bud? did the billet pistons improve your perf? are those times with the yank stall and everything else? can you hook me up with your cam info, or a link? is it fine for daily drive? thanks bud, appreciatte!
Depending upon where you live, you could get by with some painted ones. The cheapest I have seen is $259.
40 series single in dual out im about to go to dual borlas though it actually not too loud i dont think but i like em loud so IDK, no, no cutouts yet gonna do that when i swtch exhausts, billet pistons are for my trans and they dont really help performance they just keep your tranny running smoother so noticing a difference is probably not conna happen yea i ran a 13.7 on street tires with the mods that are in my SIG cam numbers are 224/230 .581/.588 112LSA, yes this is my daily driver and it does just fine, a buddy of mine put the exact same cam in his truck and his motor has 150,000 miles on it and his does just fine too. They'll be some douche saying its too big for a 5.3 or for a daily but theres two of em up here that are daily drivin work trucks up here with no problems.Quote:

I think they are very much worth it.
nice info lambo! where did you buy your cam at? did you buy just the cam or the whole rockers and lifters setup? Im really into it.. I really like the way it sounds and the improvements on performance..
His cam was custom spec'd for a TBSS. The truck and motor are long gone, but Garrisson snagged the cam from him. You can order a custom grind Comp cam along with valve springs and pushrods from Texas Speed and Performance. They have everything you will need for a complete cam swap.
ok, for now I have two options, 224R vs custom grind 224/230 .581/.588 112LSA...
which one should I pick?
Wow--do the custom cam. But LTs and a 3000 stall will be required.
only buy a custom grind cam from a reputable dealer/company that will stand behind its quality. There are people regrinding stock cam blanks and they grind through the case hardened/induction heat-treated area of the cam lobe and get down into the soft metal, leading to premature failures.
Good note Greg. Make sure to get a Comp custom grind from TSP.
yeah TSP is a great place to get custom cams fromQuote:

whats the "wow" stands for bud? lol
By using a stock stall with that cam, you will loose lower end power. It will just be a dog down low.
I only said "Wow" because I didn't think you would go with the custom grind cam. But good choice though...
TSP (texas speed and performance) you might as well get the 7.4 hardened pushrods from them while your at, it should be about 100 bucks, and youre gonna need springs i used 918 comps, but apparently i got a good batch cuz some guys have been breaking them, anyways talk to these guys about where to find a good set of springs, also if you dont use TSP for your cam, Nelson gets thiers ground through COMP im pretty sure, so if you wanna compare prices.
I will have to send TSP an email cause I cant set those specs for a cam.. I will send them an email.. thanks guys! Any idea on a good set of springs??
comp or patriotQuote:

Spray has no effect on the lift rate of the cam. But I would recommend dual valve springs--either PRCs or Comp 921s...Quote:
