Finally got the new truck

[Wtfan18]

i think it's fun when I win races lol.. but seriously standards are fun. My girlfriend has a 350z M6 and it's fun as hell to drive. I can't imagine having a std truck in traffic though.

honestly i know autos are practically impossible to match these days but honestly go for a ride in an auto with 300-350 hp and then take a rip in a standard with the same and you can have a hell of a lot more fun in a manual. i only say 300-350 cuz you guys pushing 4-5-6 hundred doesnt really matter because you pretty much destroy tires regardless of the speed or gear lol. just wish i could be as consistant with a manual as some of these awesome autos that are built. but hey at least im not replacing my t-56 every other week gl to all you 4l60e guys out there from all the posts i read im not jealous that i dont have one LOL.

Oh yeah std's are real fun, just not smoethign I could deal with everyday. I had a s10 with a 2.2l and that was fun, but only bc it was such a short throw

Look at Mic's truck for ideas. I think it started out the same.

[Show&Go]

I wouldnt go with black stripes..... maybe a dark grey stripe with the black. Be mean looking. And the motor build you got in mind sounds great. But Like stated a t56 may be in your future

I wouldnt go with black stripes.....

I like Ian's idea. Actually, what is the color of the interior?

Your motor, heads, and cam idea sounds fine--but there is NO WAY that NV3500 is gunna hold up. Go ahead and plan for a T56 swap with an upgraded clutch (cough cough LS7 cough)

yea i kinda figured the 5 speed wouldnt last that long. but hey when it goes, it goes. i think the t56 would be awesome but they arent cheap. I waxed the red stripes and they dont look that bad now. Im just waiting on funds now. I def wanna put an all aluminum ls1 in it with my setup. A T56 and clutch when funds are good. The thing is actually really easy to drive. You would be very suprised and handles sooo nice! In traffic it isnt as bad as you would think. The thing is an attention getter. Chicks love it! ok so heres the debate now, should i throw my heads and cam on the mighty 4.8 and run it till i can afford to buy a new tranny and shortblock? The stainless longtubes will be here thursday so the shorties go up for sale and im thinking about headers to an x pipe to either spintech mufflers or magnaflows and out the side before the rear tires on both sides. This thing is def faster than my 4.8 auto... for those who were wondering. ill post pics when i can get my hands on a camera that works. yea the one on my phone doesnt work either.

interior is black leather with gray inserts and red stitching. embroidered red regency in the headrests

So put a turbo on that 4.8l and let it rock!

[SNEEKY]

if i could find a good kit and at a killer price id be all over it... but they are far and few between plus is a DD. Kinda want to stay all motor for the moment. thinking of just throwing what i have at the 4.8 with a tune and see what she does.... should i get the heads milled at all to bump compression up? maybe worth a few extra ponies?

Take the stick out of the tranny and move the pivate point. A little cutting, a little welding and you can make the throw as short as you like.
Good looking truck btw.
