NEW to the site and already have questions!

[calvert]

talked to a freind of my stepdads today and he is going to help me mini tub the truck to allow for a little more meat in the rear end.. do i need to look into diferent springs?
Im running belltech 2'' springs and 3'' spindles. I did the front end myself and found all the stuff on ebay for less than 200 shipped and it was brand new when i got it..
Hills HotRods did the flip kit and c notch for the rear, and they will do the four link when its that time.. as for the rear end im going to run 410 getting it free so im not going to complain.... And the truck is going to have updated bolt patter to match the newer body style 6 lug instead of the 5x5 stocker

if you're still deciding on a trans, look into a T56 swap... manual's much more fun!!

Welcome.

1. Like Justin said - change over to the 24x. (I am 100% TOALLY surprised he knew that)
2. 4.10 gears with a Detroit TrueTrac
3. 4L80e
4. 3200 stall
5. CAI, 90mm TB, E-fans
6. 42lb injectors
7. UD crank and alt pulley
8. At least a 228/228 .588/.588 112 LSa cam with hardened pushrods and PRC valve springs
9. CNC'd L92 heads
10. Live tune

That MIGHT get you into the 11s. If not, 100 shot.

thanks for all the input, and advise. I was told to visit this site and that u guys would kno what to tell me.. Im going to have sunset racecraft install the cam and do a port on the heads. I have heard that polishing actually has an adverse effect on the airflow and other scientific horsepower stuff! LOL.. But what in the hell is this 58x or 24x stuff? never heard of it..
