Man so far this is a great site. Just been looking around and looks
Got an '02 silvy 4.8L
Mods: 3.90 posi., thorly long tubes, HPP3, aem brute force, tb spacer, elect. fans, 9mm wires and +5plugs, cowl hood, small system, 2-4 drop.
Looking at this nelson tunning looks pretty good and maybe a cam and some heads soon.
Would like to know if anybody knows any tricks, or parts to make the 5spd in my truck work a little better
Thanks

No 5/speed here but I like seeing fellow 4.8s on the board...
Looks like your off to a awesome start with your truck. A nelson tune and new cam will definately improve your performance. You may even look into bigger injectors as well.

Hey protruk are you having problems at wot with being able to shift into third gear. If I could ever get into third gear I should be mid high9's in 1/8 mile. That's with stock tires and lots of spin. Kinjo do ya think its time for injectors. I didn't think it was time for injectors til you got in the motor or s/c. By the way how did you like your nelson tune can you feel a difference in the pwr?

Hey Letllered 4.8, Every once in awhile. It will grind going into 3rd. But I think that's more of a sincro problem. At the track 3rd is your money gear. You can feel it pulling hard on top end at high RPMAnd not bogging the motor. Walk the fine line!
I think the best mods would be: Long tube headers
good cam
computer tune
The best tires you can find. This is what helped me the most.
PM me if you have ?'s

Got the long tubes they are thorley tri y's. Looking at a tune next then later a cam nothing major tho its my daily. What kinda times ru running? I've got a decent 60ft cuse of the gear but could use some better tire for sure. Think my 60 was 2 or 2.2 can't remember stopped dragstriping after the tranny started acting up.
