  1. #1
    If you could only choose one. would you go with"

    A cam ( and what size)
    valvetrain upgrade (what ratio rockers)
    throttle body (what size)
    get the cylinder heads machined
    fill in the blank

    I just got a tune ordered so that one is out.


    which is the most cost effective?

    2 rules
    only choose one
    budget is 550

    help

    1st is limited slip/posi if you don't have one.
    Next would be 4.10s
    Then comes a 2800-3200 convertor
    How about some drag radials or slicks?

    wouldnt 4.10's just kill my gas mileage with an uzi followed quickly by a grenade then a bayonet to make sure lol

    also I know it is a 10 bolt 8.5 but how many splines do I have? it is an 04 rcsb if that helps any with an axle code of gu4

    When you consider bang for the buck, Nitrous rules that area. 100+ horses for under &#036;1k is hard to top, but it has it&#39;s own flaws. Gears are going to allow you to use the power you already make in a shorter distance.
    2004 Chevy/Regency RST, 6.0L LQ4, custom built NV MG-5 tranny by local Tranny Guru, Hurst Shifter, K&N FIPK, stock Regnecy Exhaust, 3.73 gears w/ Eaton Locker, and the Magnacharger huffer topping it off w/ stock pulley... for now

    Looking to meet people w/ LS1 trucks in the OKC area PM me
