Help me speed up this k1500

Actually this dude has a vortec 350, they stopped making the TBI 350s in 96. You for sure need to re-gear man. I used to have a 96 Z71 with 33" goodyear wrangler mtr's and it was a turd with the 3.42's. I guarentee you your not gonna walk away from anybody in a race with that combo. I threw in some 4.10's and it was a night and day difference. The vortec 350 is limited by the poppet style injectors it has. That will be his main limitation if he tries fixing it up. I agree with the others, just do a motor swap and be done with it.

No worries, this is a community, as much as we all love LSx powered vehicles, we love all kinds of other combos as well (most of us, at least)... if you're wanting to learn about the swap, the first place to look is here http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/lsx-t...onversion.html 6.0 prices range quite a bit, depending on year and mileage, you can check on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market to find one in your area if you do decide to do a swap. Don't be scared by the LQ4/LQ9 prices, 5.3s can be had for a lot less, and will also make great power with a little time and money.

By the way, you can put the pictures into a thread by copying the link and putting it inside like this [IMG] LINK HERE [/IMG] or uploading them to a site like Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and directly copying and pasting the link from there. I'll make it easy and start you out by posting up the ones you uploaded.







Truck looks good, I like the wheel/tire combo... IMO take the flames off, along with the tube steps and stick on chrome, and you've got yourself a nice truck.
