I just got my 218/222 cam today! lol Should have a TT3K by months end, and then a few other lil bits to do. :smile:
Well I finally got a new truck so I think I will finally finish my twin turbo system I have a few other things like a narrowed and tubbed back end with a 4 link. I think that should be a good start :devil:
That's going to be NASTY Marc! :smile:
I installed a dirty airfilter :devil:
Replacing 3.07s with 4.11s. Gotta be able to dig out of the hole quicker.
Stop moding the truck and have been working on my car that I bought in January. Started to think about working on the truck again. Not sure what I may do. Need to save up some money then back to the truck. Maybe a supercharger.
Wooohooo!!!, got fans coming :jump: ( paid out the ass for 'em) but got 'em comin :rock:. Now on to the thermo. What do yall think 160 or 180??? Zed
160 :)

Should I get a new one, or rebuild my old one, or get a used one.....?????

Right now, I have a 6.0L in Texas getting my TR224 cam and Comp 918 springs installed. I also purchased a set of slightly worked heads, and they just left the machine shop with a little milling. They are also receiving a valve job. BigTex is who I bought the motor from and who is getting all of my head work done for me. He also purchased me a set of thinner head gaskets to also aid in raising the compression alittle. I still have my TCI 3000 stall, transgo shift kit, and corvette servo sitting in my floor. Since I'm buying a built tranny, I am going to trade Goshawk the shift kit for his set of 3.73 gears. I'm going to order the thorley headers friday. When everything finally gets here, the last thing on my definate list will be contacting Allen to tune everything up for me. Also in the market for a new set of injectors and the underdrive pullies. Before the Thunder shootout, I will have a set of et streets and a little :nx:
I've lifted my truck .... still workin gon the tranny and tuning. :sad:
The lift kit came from Wal-mart in the jacks, jack stands, and drive on ramp section just in case anyones wondering.
Why 160? I've heard that a 180 slows the water down enough to stay in the rad to cool it down better. Just curious? :duh: ...ZedQuote:

as well with the bigger cam my theory is the truck will want to run a little warmer. so hence this is why I went to 160* thermo.
havnt really had any issues except for the one I spoke of on tech.
Kool, just wondering, thanx thunder...Zed
Well, money has been a bit tight for me lately. I have an ls1 cam, I got off ebay for $25, not sure when I will get that in. Right now I am just trying to get some maintenance done, changed the spark plugs, getting plug wire (any suggestions), and changed out the belts. I need to change the tranny fluid and filter, and looking into a shift kit and servo to beef it up a bit. I am also thinking about switching to amsoil 7500 oil and filter.

hey good deal kenny. i look forward to seeing your truck when you are done.
side note, you need to grab an atv and come riding with us one weekend. make sure you bring old clothes for you will get muddy and wet.
My original PCM should be back from Allen sometime this week, with al little more "aggressive" tune, and the shifts nice and firmed up for me. I am waiting for my Denali headlights from ebay to get in.
Right now looking into billet servos and transgo shift kit, underdrive pulley and e-fans, dropping the truck a little further, and a Escalade Silver faced instrument cluster.
Waiting on Hypertech to develope the 180 stat for my truck.
