Hellcaminos Garage

2003 silverado reg. Cab shorted step side.

I got thes truck back in may 2010 it was a one owner with 90,000 miles on it. I have alway loved this body style especially the mean face lol. the first thing I did was level the truck then followed by the ss front bumper then I added a magnaflow muffler and cut off the tail pipe for a clean look. After that I decided to do a lil performance mod and installed a tb spacer and cut a big old hole in the front of the air box. Then shortly after with the left over paint from the bumper I decided to smoke out the headlights and tail lights. Once I had that done I felt the need to get my jams on so I bought 2 10 jl audios with a kenwood amp 1000 watts class d mono 370 rms. And updated the front speakers with infintys and a pioneer stero. I finally got chrome 20" ss replicas in and installed
today.

Plans I have for truck is change out the whole interior since its light brown and clothed I want it all blk with leather seats and add a dd stereo. Now performance wise I am going to go with an lq9 with 243 heads a mild cam with an lsxrt intake and a 100 shot of nitrous. Get the 4l60e trans built and add a posi with 3.73 gears. I'll be ordering a roll pan this coming week as well.

Hears a pic of how the truck sits now I took this pic in a hurry since I had to go to work I'll wash and wax the truck and get some better ones tomorrow.

My buddie in the back lol

1968 El Camino
Alright so my dad got me this car when I was in 7th grade it was an ugly teal green with a 454 big block and a 4 speed standard the first thing we did was paint it viper red with white strips. I used it all of high school. Once in collage I crack my block and spun a bearing while racing a srt8 jeep it was a land slide lol took him bad. Know that I put together a 350 sbc whit a forged crank, aluminum heads trick flow 205 with 202 valves, 580 intake 600 exhaust solid roller crane cam, edelbrock victor Jr single pane air gap intake, an 850 street deamon carb, and I decided to try out a summit racing ignition it works good. The wheels I have corvette rallies 7" in front and 10" in back with bf goodrich radial ta. I put a new interior new carpet and some race seats and a tci outlaw shifter. Trans I have built b&m th400, my rear end I have an eaton posi with 3.42 gears.

very clean truck bro, ur plans for it are great to but why stick with the 4L60 when a 4L80 might handle what youll be throwin at it a bit better, theyre stronger and more reliable

also dont waste time and money on 3.73 gears go at least 4.10s you have a 60e 4spd tranny. if you had a th350 or th400 then i go with 3.73 to drop the rpm.

Cool thanks for the info what rpms will the truck be at 75 with 4.10s since I go out of town quite a bit.

IIRC its around 2300-2400.

Can you post some pics and details of the Elky? I've been dreaming of an Elky LS swap for a while and you do one a sexy one.

what size tire do you have?

nice truck.....are those slick on the bed?

Nah there the old tires I just got them today and my rear tires are 295/55/20 I'll post pic of the elky in a bit

i calulated with the 4.10 and your tire size you will be spinning about 2250rpm at 75mph. that would be a nice setup since you travel alot

That ain't bad ill go with the 4.10s then better launch.

nice rides man. truck would look sick if you colormatched the crossbar on the grille black and remove the chevrolet decal on the tailgate.

I've been wanting to take off the Chevrolet decal off the tail gate But I like the way the chrome crossbar looks.

Maybe you need to go back to collage :LOL: sorry I had to, nice rides man

Lol maybe i should jk well the other day I remembered that I had an app on my phone that can tell you your 0-60 1/4 mile times and 60-0 well I've only done a 0-60 with my stock tires (one tire fire) my best was 11.6 :( and now with the better griping 295 I was able to shave a full second off my current best right now is a 10.3 :) I don't think it's to bad for being 4.3 Hopefully with a posi and 4.10s I'll bring it down some more lol

Whats that app called

Drag strip on the iPhone
