once the lq4 is installed in my truck anyone got an idea of what i can expect in the quarter? everything is stock, and its a 99 rcsb. things im looking at changing later for performance include full exhaust system, nitrous 150 shot, heavy duty trans(next upgrade), 4.10 gears(maybe a new diff?), cam kit, stall, ram air intake with functional hood nostrils like NITROUS's but for my 99. any before and after predictions???
what gears do you have? open diff?

Is TRTTurbo wrapping up the install for you? Might as well get them to hang an STS on it while it's there so you can pull some very low 12s. :thumb:
what cam/stall were you thinking of going with?
You will have to change your diff. if you want to go to 4:10's You have two options Stock G-80 or after market LSD. Be sure to get a stall. your truck with a stall, cam, gears ,headers and of course tune can run 12's but not on those 20's.. if you still have your stock rims i would put some stickys on them and use that for the track to hook, if you dont i have some ill sell ya if ya want.
just the lq4 with traction and posi should get you in the 13.89-14.00 range. thats with tune,exhaust ive seen it happen." on 16" wheels not 20's
Just remember, it isnt about the
"best Parts" its about the best combination of your parts. you might want to consider 3.73's ive seen great results with this gear with the 6.0 because of the 6.0's high low end tq.
good luck to you

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(dlh2006 @ Jul 24 2006, 07:28 PM) [snapback]58931[/snapback]</div>i plan on getting the fatest racing slicks that will fit on the stock 16's i have. while the 1/4 time is important, i want to have the overall nicest ride possible. weight reduction means nothing to me haha cuz i weigh like 330 and will have a system in it at time of run. i have this image in my head of what i want my truck to be, and when its done it will be sweeeeeeet. it will make the regency(although a nice truck) look like a cheap truck, i will not say it will "be what the SS should be" like so many people say, but it should be a truck that makes people look not only because of the rumble, but also because of the clean look it will possess. i dont wanna pull up next to a stock SS and feel like my truck is a lesser truck(if that makes sense). i wish i had chip foose's drawing ability and equipment, and talent! i'd make my rims 21" instead of 20's, and id draw it out before i built it and ask ya'lls opinion. but o well guess it'll be a suprise one day when i update my signature! and by tghe way i absolutely love Wade's truck!!!Quote:
