    New Guy From Cerulean, Kentucky

    Hey everyone, I just bought a 01 Sierra with 4.8(I know, I know but eh, it’s different from everyone else) I was quite surprised with the performance of such a small motor but man I’m tickled Pink.lol...I welcome all suggestions and have a lot of plans for this lil' beast. Ummm a lil’ about myself I guess, I'm 19, live in Kentucky, I rebuild starters and alternators for a livin' at my family’s business, we build everything and welcome the challenge of custom built stuff. Hit me up if ya'll ever need anything 'Nuff about that though. I had a '94 Chevrolet but saved and bought this one and I can tell I'm going to love it and I can already tell I'm going to love this site!! Thank you very much.... Josh

    I vote for a stall and gears to be put into your plan. Shouldnt be that hard to get it I dont think.

    Welcome to LS1truck Josh! Good starter truck-----for a 6.0L swap! hehe But you could prolly end up starting with the basic bolt ons...LT headers, CAI, tune, exhaust, etc. Then move on to the cam. A supercharger would work great in that thing--and a STS kit wouldn;t be bad either.
