Ok, if money was available, what would you do with my truck that would "complete" the performance package?
I'll not want to spend more than say $10K to do it.
FI? Radix?
Heads?
Tranny?
Nitrous?
Spend my money but spend it wisely, I'll not have another big chunk of $$ like this in a long time!
626/762 2005 SIERRA 11.34@119.81
My other ride is a '91 Electraglide custom.
heads/cam 6.0
Complete engine w/heads. A 402 will cost a little over $4000 and a set of really good flowing heads about $2500. Have that swapped in with a really nice cam, about $400 if not included with the engine package. $300 for gaskets. Long tube headers, $600-$1100. Jeeze, I wish I had that problem. Oh yeah, the balance of the money would probably get you a FLP level 3 transmission to hold it all together. That or you could just trade the truck in and be the number 3 owner on the site of a TBSS.

Gone, but not forgotten!
Some type of FI system; -5,000
Forged slugs, cam, studed 6.0l heads; -2,000
4l80e conversion, -3,500-4,000
Sell your stock 4l60e, +1000
You will have a bulit proof trans with a engine that can take a lot of amount of boost

6.0 Heads will lower compression allowing more boost and better flow? Why not go with some AFR or Patriot's?
I dont really want to go to the 4l80e but was thinking of having my 4l60 built or purchase a built 4L65?
Radix is my choice for FI and was thinking of bolting on some Dynatech LT's, even if they dont have C.A.R.B. approval they do have cats and might keep me from getting into big trouble?

I would say a FLT level 5 4L65E would handle everything. If you go Radix, I would look into the 90MM TB conversion everyone is getting such great results with.

you should just skip all that and give it to me
