what will i run

[beastmode]

ok guys heres the setup

LS1, TR224 cam, TB Stall, 3.73s, G80, Shift Kit, Flowmaster catback, and possibly headers and possibly MT et streets

my truck weighs about 4100 lbs when its race ready, anyone think i will be pullin lower than 13.3s??

TIA

I would make those "possibly" headers a "definite" - you oughta see low 13's I would think.

if i do it wont be any expensive headers, it will probably be like summit brand headers, i dont really have the money to spend on them for it... think that would make much of a difference

the kid wit my motor before me, 2000 camaro, did like 12.3, but he also ran a magic stick 3 cam wit a 3900 stall, so i figure my truck probably weighs a good 700lbs more than his car so thats .7 on to my 1/4 time right there

If money were an issue, I would try to pick up a used set of Pacesetters or other LT's off here or more likely off PT.net

Most of the cheapies are exactly that - cheapies. Really thin walled pipe that might not last all that long. They you might wind up replacing them again in a couple of years.

Make sure you have someone tune your motor after you put your mods on. That will make everything work together. I am sure low 13&#39;s are in your future, but you definitely need headers, CAI, and maybe a set of ASP pulleys. A throttle body would be nice, but not extremely necessary for low 13&#39;s...

ya, i have someone tuning my truck with HP Tuners, he might even be a member on here (Quik). as far as the TB, CAI, injectors etc. that stuff will all come, just a matter of time... id actually like to come across the single ram air hood wit the scoop on fbody ss&#39;s and have like a ram air setup... i dont care for the twin scoop hoods to much, dont get me wrong they look good but on someone elses truck lol

You should get some pretty good times after a stall and all those goodies. Keep us updated on the progress. When does the 5.7 go in?

well i got Slowprocess from over on LS1tech tradin me his TR224 for the cam (MS3) that was in my motor when i bought it, then i gotta buy my stall adn a couple other things and were gonna drop that baby in so hopefully the middle of next month

with regard to the stall i am still considering a 3k lol... im just getting so impatient and not having the money for it is killing me and i can afford the TB stall ya know

eventually ill def have some headers but i dont think till the end of summer, thats something i can throw on after w/o havin to take anything apart

get pacesetters, a cai and cutout and go for 12&#39;s. your selling yourself short with the 13.3 business. heres why:

me

extended cab 5.7 ls1, tb stall, 3.73 gears, g80, et streets, and all the little boltons.------STOCK CAM AND HEADS&#33;= 13.27

i gained an entire .01 in the 60&#39; going from the TB stall to the 3200 fuddle.
